So at least McCain/Romney won't be homeless, with about 16 houses between them. Such ordinary guys...

Poor wording choice | 2:34 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008
"opens fire" and "uses both barrels".... may be colorful speech but pretty disappointing in the context of this article. Is this news or an opinion piece?

Right now, Romney seems like the country's only hope. I just can't see Obama or McCain running this country. Romney, in my opinion, could actually bring about real, positive change, and not just lip service. He's already proven it.

Mitt Romney.
What a totally disgusting human being!
Slimy right-wing politics through and through.
He sounds EXACTLY like Rush Limbaugh.

Right on Romney! | 2:44 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Finally...a voice of reason and honesty. With Obama we are walking in the dark not knowing which direction we are going.

Thanks Romney for your clarity and for your vision!

What is the combined number of homes owned by John McCain and Mitt Romney?

Why does it take two people to write such a simplistic article which does nothing more than rehash what they've said before.

Romney is from that Cheney group of nasty neocons that has successfully managed to divide this great country in two:
Liberal America and Conservative America.

Divided we fall.

Especially in precarious times such as these.

As an Olympic volunteer.... | 2:59 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008
...I would NEVER vote for Mitt Romney. "Much beloved"? He "saved" the Olympics? All he was, was someone who could step in and take credit for all the work others had done -- and posture a lot.

When he made his required visit to "our" venue, he wouldn't even look at us. He marched straight down the hall, eyes straight ahead, right into the room where all the fancy foods had been set up in his honor. He shook hands, took some pictures with the venue heads, and that was it. Later, it was reported he'd met "many volunteers". Yeah, sure.

As for you people who'd vote for him, you would never have heard of him if he wasn't Mormon...and you're voting for him ONLY because he is.

Utah really doesn't matter. Thank God.

Who cares? | 3:05 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Who cares how many homes anyone owns? How is that relevant?

If it's relevant at all, wouldn't you rather have someone who can put themselves into a position to buy multiple homes, rather than a person who can't? Which one would really be better at running the world's largest corporation, the U.S.A.?

But that doesn't really matter.

Those who think Romney is slimy or dishonest are completely out of touch with reality, putting white for black and black for white. Don't listen to them.

Mitt Romney made some mistakes in speaking during the campaign, but he's made very few mistakes in his business and leadership career, and even fewer in his personal life and family where it really counts the most. He is an honest man and an impeccable manager capable of running our country better than any of the current crop of candidates.

And don't spew that crapola about Mitt firing people and shipping jobs overseas to turn companies around. If it were that simple every company would do it. It takes the right people and tremendous expertise to turn a failing company around, and Mitt is one of the few in the entire world that can do it.

Mitt Romney is a wonderful example of the American Nightmare.

He ran a company that bought companies, fired workers (aka, downsizing) and then sold the company.

Great Ugly American story.

Judgement | 3:09 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008
I agree with Mitt on Obama's lack of judgement.
In 1970 when I returned home from Vietnam to be honorably seperatd from the military at Travis AFB,they told us to ware civilian clothes to the airport because the Weather Underground were throwing blood on the returning troops. Bill Aires and his wife we their leaders. The Obamas show lack judgement for being active friends of these two. The Weather Underground must have ran of blood because,they only spat at us that day.

Houses? | 3:11 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Who cares how many homes they own? Everyone in politics at their level is rich! Obama himself is a multi-millionaire! And guess what's worse? He has a half-brother in Kenya who makes a dollar a day... with no help from his millionaire "savior" Barack Obama. So much for the democrats theory that they are the "people's party". Their own pick for president doesn't even have the charity to help his own flesh and blood but he wants to raise all of our taxes to pay for the poor in this country? I think he needs to start leading by example before I'm convinced.

All of the Marxist Romney haters need to get a clue. Obama would lead this country to higher taxes and communism. Why should I pay higher taxes to support all the lazy people that vote for Obama because they want hand-outs. This country wasn't founded on hand-outs and won't survive on them either.

Seeing your hatred and loathing (does that include his religion too?) of a truly remarkable and hands down brilliant individual who lives and shows impeccable character and your unconcealed envy of what his hard work and how much success the application of his smarts has brought him, I can see how you fit the socialist, liberal, class envy, simple minded and what looks like bigoted anti-Mormon mold of a lock step Obama worshiper.

Fortunately there are those of us who know and recognize your ilk.

I wonder, how do you view the very similar to Romney individuals who lived a couple of hundred years ago named Washington, Jefferson, Franklin etc. etc.?

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
