What do you think of Mr.Rommeny For President?

[sherryinutah]

I say Obama for a second term 

Obama is my first choice, too.  I'm not the least bit impressed with Mitt Romney because he started out trying to sell himself by slamming other people including President Obama. 

I'm from Utah so unfortunately my vote might not be worth much if I don't want Mitt Romney for president. 

I wish I could vote for Rosanne.

I THINK MITT ROMNEY WILL BE A PART 2 OR A JUNIOR BARACH OBAMA. HIS POLICIES ARE ALREADY FAR LEFT, AND HE HAS A SOCIALIST IDEOLOGY.

Romney is not my first choice but anything is better than what we have now.

I was actually asking for the Nancy Pelosi vid, but these ones you supplied are quite humorous. Especially the comments. Thanks for sharing!

Okay, my apologies on that.  I looked but didn't find the video I was referring to but I will look more as I can.  Granted I took liberties in being vague about what she was talking about, but that shouldn't matter.  The clip has to do with her doing an interview where she basically says that the 'jobs bill' they want to pass will not cost anything as you can pay for it with the money you are saving by not being in a war in Iraq.  Regardless of where anyone stands on issues, such logic as that has to give them pause and generate a puzzled look on many faces.

A bit wordy, but well said. Though these amounts that you deem 'meager' are still massive amounts of money-- sometimes 5-6-7 digit numbers per day going into the investors personal pocket. And when someone is using these loopholes and making this much money while under scrutiny and skepticism-- but is also trying to kindle a relationship with the rest of the countrry and become president, he seems to have automaticially alienated himself from the average joe.

I am often too wordy and tend to rattle on at times.  If I took the time to compose what I wanted to say and then posted I could correct it some but that would be tedious and could easily feel like work and would decrease my interest in replying.

I meant the 15% tax rate was considered meager, not the amounts taxed.  Remember he is more businessman first, than politician and I would imagine he doesn't look too closely at his taxes.  Obama, Reid, Pelosi they all do the same things with their taxes.  I cannot understand what the big deal is with this, as it is entirely legal and absolutely appropriate and responsible behavior for someone to do.  I would be concerned if a person didn't know how to manage their finances and routinely wasted their money all the time -- but I am not considered with someone covering all the bases.

Very true. I'm definitely for ending a complex tax system. I'll quote an article I bookmarked earlier this morning-

In the end, Romney's return underscores how far we've gone from the simple tax system the nation started with in the 1900s and imposed a flat rate on anyone earning over a set amount. A tax code that produces a 203-page return is too complex to administer; too complex to comply with; and so complex that it creates inadvertent inequities that encourage gaming the system in ways that are detrimental to our society and national character. It's time to do away with the 72,536-page U.S. tax code and write our tax law on a single sheet of paper.

And the entirety of the massive tax system all stems from over-regulation.  I wanted to ask, what was the reason for mentioning Romney in that quote?  I am curious if it was simply due to it being a recent topic or was it in some way meant to suggest him in a bad light.  I know it was a quote and not something you said so I mean in regards to the source you quoted.

I guess people in Col/Missouri/Minn don't like him much. He lost all three states last night!

[jaymz462]

Yeah, santorum all over the place.  Disgusting!  The Mittdroid should have to clean it all up, without gloves.

THAT ITS A JOKE

[Gerianne]

"no" for Obama means "yes" for his opponent.
I was hoping Ron Paul would get closer to be a nominee.

I'll sure vote for Romney before I'll vote for Obama.  I fear our way of life in the USA may not even survive long enough to vote Obama out.  He does not care 2 cents for the American people; you can tell that by all the "changes" he is implementing.  I really don't think he has any idea of what the average person is dealing with on a daily basis because he can't stay in the White House long enough to find out since he is always playing golf or on vacation spending our tax payers'  dollars flying all over the world for his own enjoyment.  He leaves running the country up to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and his zcars.  I just hope and pray that he is not re-elected.
