    Romney is concerned with not letting the government grow to destroy the nation. The following video explains the left wing game plan.

    Yes, I'm sure you miss lots of posts that refute your "arguments." Funny how that always happens.

    I'm defending Romney's ability to earn money in a free-society to counteract the whiny-ass liberal jealousy that is hurled his way. I am not a fan of his, politically, although I will vote for him if I have to. In a perfect society, these petty and envious attacks from the left will be called out for what they are, but thanks to the media and other liberal outlets, this kind of destructive thinking is given credence. Back in the day, people would admire the successful and aspire to be like them, now it's a crime to not be a broke loser.

    I'm glad you left the Republican party, also. People with certain mindsets belong in the Democrat Party, the party that rewards failure, punishes success, and gets votes by scraping the bottom of every barrel it can find. Good riddance.

    Partisan to the end, eh?

    I bailed when they stopped making sense. I'm a Libertarian/Independent now. Reagan was the greatest president of my lifetime. He's probably rolling in his grave witnessing this parade of clowns.

    ah .
    wrong.

    He made those without health Insurance and could afford it buy it or pay a penalty for forcing Mass. to cover their health care for free.Those with their OWN ..kept it..and nothing changed..
    Kinda like making able bodied people get off welfare and get a job..

    The safety net is not life entitlement.
    Health Insurance is NOT A RIGHT .. nor is it a federal responsibility to cover those who can pay but choose not to.

    Why dont we all quit our jobs and demand free everything ?

    That's the Obama plan. Create more entitlement supporters and dependents.IF 75 % of the voters depend on Government who is in charge..YOU or the government ?

    SEE GREECE..and the GERMANS who demand they give up control.

    Check out how upset Brewskier gets when his source of scraps from master's table is threatened ...

    It's likely Brewskier would also defend a rapist's ability to get some, being that the situations are precisely analogous.

    Not being fans of economic rapists, we condemn Romney and his ilk, along with the gutless cringing wonders that support him. They can choose to live their lives on their knees, but we won't be down there with them.

    You want to impress a liberal? Make a product. You want to impress a conservative? Push paper and pay lobbyists. 'Nuff said.

    If you look at the whole Romney statement, I have no problem with it.

    I think it is being taken out of context by the press to sell clicks or papers.

    The reality is that he says he is not concerned about the very rich too, where is that quote.

    The meaning of what he is saying is that he is concerned about the middle 90-95% who are trying to get a job, and work and do well. I think he is right, there are some who are very poor, live off of entitlements and are not trying to better themselves. They have safety nets and there is not much you can do for them, but make opportunity that would be created if you work on growing the economy for everyone.

    I'm not a big Mitt supporter, but he is probably the best republican in the field and I think he would be a better President than Bush was or Gingrich would be. But I do think that elections should be about the topics, more than about sound bites. This is bs soundbite reporting.

    What an ironic post, coming from the party of rape statistics and Government paper-pushing bureaucracies. Careful with the anti-paper pushing rhetoric, though. The jobs of your fellow liberals in the public sector could get threatened.

    That's funny, since Conservatives are for the private sector whereas liberals are for expanding public sector jobs and growing the Government. Tell me, which "products" are the public sector generating that impress you so much?

    Of course there are jobs. Generally, a person who wants to work will find work. But it's nice to see you think there are so many jobs.

    I'm sure I can then count on you to oppose any attempt to extend unemployment benefits, right?

    My argument: it's a free country. Live poor, be ignorant and be a bum if you choose. Or choose otherwise. Pretty simple, really.

    Ninny comes to mind here...since you obviously don't know how to interpret things very well, let me explain. In many countries the poor simply starve and die. Here we have some social programs that give them a hand up. Unfortunately some of them find it easier to do nothing but wait for help month after month and for the most part they are helped. Some of those poor don't spend their money wisely and have to tighten their belts. No one is "entitled" to a free ride. The programs are for people who actually have a need, but they also need to start to climb out of that place and join the rest of us in producing for America. It is the patriotic thing to do you know...or do you?

    Your ignorant to Mitt Romney's life.

    His dad did not give him a cent. He is 100% self made.

    I believe it's a misprint; the word is surely 'moron'. Morons can't spell 'altruism', let alone understand what it means...

    100% is stretching it.

    I think Mitt Romney has succeeded on his own merit. But his father did put him through prep school and get him jobs at the plant.

    I really don't think Mitt's Security guard jobs paid the Stanford and Harvard tuition or all his travel expenses.....or for his mission.....He most certainly got a nice head start in life from his family and it's wealth.

    Nothing wrong with that....as long as people are honest about it.

    Most people don't know his incredible story. Mind you, I am not a Mitt supporter, but if you knew his tragic car accident in France, the death of those around him, how he came out of the hospital at a young age and set records in France for his Church, then dealt with his wife's multiple sclerosis battle, the level of respect may be just a bit higher.

    This guy, like his ideology or not, is simply amazing as a human being.

    Well, the biography will unfold over the next few months, and I'm sure there will be some things to like about the guy.

    However, I don't think it will show that he was a 100% self-made man.

    You know this because?

    I have very good friend that are LDS. They are from a typical large LDS family. They were not rich. Out of the 5 sons, I know of 4 of their missions:

    Finland
    Mexico
    France
    Argentina

    I think you are just spouting off your ideology over reality.

    Do you know the adversity Mitt Romney went through in France? The story is incredible.
