and some will take the medias portrayal of Romney's performance while traveling????

Given the medias bias to make sure Obama comes across always as golden.....no matter what.....and that only the negatives of the opposition are highlighted......seems like some of you will be duped per the plan!!

btk

A little arrogant of you to contend that anyone who sees things differently than you has been "duped", yet anything that confirms your view is apparently "truth".

"knowing" is a relative term.

What each of us "knows" is relative to each individual....I am quite content (some prefer to call it naieve or whatever) in what I know about Mitt Romney as a candidate and his morals VS Barrack Obama's morals as a candidate and POTUS for the last 4 years.

I know as much as anybody else does that does not rely only on the media for input and knowledge.

As far as quoting John Edwards as an example you only underscore that for most politicians it really does not matter what their morals are....until they get caught.

What I "know" tells me Romney is the far better man. When I aquire any new information that may affect what I know, I will take that into consideration.

No different than the litany of defenders of Obama who supposedly "know" him.

Remember the advantage of Romney his background is non political, hence by what we all "know" that means he certainly is more credible than most political incumbents.

I actually saw the interview and Ann Romney did say "you people" although my interpretation - based on hand gestures, facial expression, etc. - was that she meant "you people - the media". I don't understand how we, the people will get this important information if not through the media. Also, I think that it's very unfortunate that both the campaign and Governor Romney chose to send his wife out to answer questions when Romneys' tax returns were a "hot" item. These questions are better asked of him and should be answered by releasing more than one complete tax filing.

She clearly does not say "you people", but says "our people".

She speaks so clearly and she clearly is not saying a word with an "oouu" sound in it. Listen more closely.

I'm still mentally processing "For the first time in my life I am proud to be an American."

The same media that's trying to hear an unspoken word from Ann Romney, bent over backward to "explain" and excuse that outrageous thought spoken out loud by Lady Obama.

It's pretty typical and reflected by the leftists on this forum.

Passing this along just as it was sent to me, with no further comment except to say that #4 should say just "southern preacher" IMO.

Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable! ................................

A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:

1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.

3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)

4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.

5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.

6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?

7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.

9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.

10. And one more point...pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans.

Perfectly explained! What puzzles me is when he was our Governor in Massachusetts most people liked him (except for the ones that are similar to the ones NOW that don't like him) and he was a great Governor I might add. So basically, it's all about JEALOUSY!

You are totally naive and blindly biased toward the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee if your view is "The Romney's obviously have morals".

I don't not know about their morals and neither do you.

Talk to a John Edwards supporter.

(If anyone else is reading, this kind of frivolous judgement is the perfect example of folks supporting candidates for reasons they have manufactured in their own minds.)

Mitt Romney has made very heavy use of the paper shredder after leaving various significant positions in his career. A lot of paperwork seemed to disappear after the Salt Lake City Olympics. http://www.govexec.com/management/20...parency/56964/

"When Mitt Romney left Bain Capital to take control of the Salt Lake City Olympics in 1999, he promised “complete transparency.” But reporters and public officials say they were denied access to certain documents, and archivists allege that many of the Games’ key records were destroyed shortly after the they ended, reports The Boston Globe.

Romney and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee had no legal obligation to either preserve key records or make them public since the Games were organized by a private, nonprofit corporation that was exempt from public records laws." quote from linked govexec.com article above.

I am not saying though that much of President Obama's life was transparent.

When Governor Mitt Romney left office, his approval rating was 34% much as it is today in Massachusetts. This is a number comparable to Governor Rick Scott's approval rate. The Romney campaign is not even competing in his home state.

I wish when some present "findings" it would be helpful to also make your point....what ever it may be. I understand why ambiguity is a blessing in most cases and in others there just must not be a point....just regurgitating or parroting.
