Romney blasts Obama in Denver

1. How many convicted felons are in his close circle of friends?
2. How many former, unrepentant terrorist bomb-throwers is he friends with?
3. How many racist pastors does he look to for spiritual guidance?
The Dems really know how to pick their candidates...Obama is an empty suit with zero real accomplishments. He gave one good speech, and the leftists nominated him for president. Go figure...
So, you have a problem with Mitt Romney working hard, creating a lot of jobs, being successful, and earning his wealth. But you respect people who inherit proceeds from illegal bootlegging (Kennedy), marry wealthy Republican widows (Kerry), are a slumlord (Pelosi), or file ambulence-chasing lawsuits (Edwards)?
That makes you sooooo the Democratic: produce nothing yourself but insist on "your share" of everyone else's hard work. Move out of your parents' basement, and get a job.
I do have one big problem with Romney: he should stop apologizing [to whiners like most of the posters here] for being successful. He should be saying, "Heck yes, I'm rich... I want every American to be rich, too."
Here's a better question, what is the combined number of brothers concieved from Obama's polygamist father?
McCain has flooded the airwaves with hateful adds, one of which literally accuses Obama of being Satan, and yet Romney has the nerve to take Obama to task for one very mild comment. That is both absurd and obscene.
If I had the money I would own more homes to.Is Obama trying to show that these men are smart with thier money,nice job Obama.Hopefuly they bought the house when market is down so they can make a good profit.
QUESTION:
Witch one of these men will keep our country safe ?
I don't think the one that wants to sit down and have tee with tarriest would my choice.
Of course he is a successful businessman, sometimes at the expensive of others, but if the US didn't want him as their president why would they want him as the VP?
I always find it interesting when people say McCain would be a good president because he was a POW and was tortured. Maybe he was a POW because he crashed his five aircraft and was in the bottom 5 of his graduating class at the Naval Academy.
I am not an Obama supporter, both he and McCain scare me as to what they will do to this country.
Mitt Romney.
What a totally disgusting human being!
Slimy...
I am always amazed when I see a person judge someone they have obviously never even met. Quick to judge, without any personal experience. I'd say that is pure political bias (at best) and fault-finding (at worst). Romney, on the other hand, began by saying that Obama was undoubtedly a good person. No personal character attack here!
I personally own three, One here in Utah, another a few blocks from the beach in Newport that I timeshare out on Craig's list, and a mountain cabin that has been in the family for years.
I buddy wants me to be part owner in two condos in Park City.
That would make five, but I am no way wealthy. Everything is all investment property. They all pay for themselves and gives me a little extra spending money.
If's that's all you have against the men, give it up.
I know a guy that owns a whole block in Houston, all low-cost housing... Does that make him a bad person?
But still, WHO CARES?!
Here are the facts of political life: no one is going to become President without either a personal fortune or the backing of a political machine. Which do you prefer?
"So at least McCain/Romney won't be homeless, with about 16 houses between them. Such ordinary guys..."
Actually... 7+4=11
Hopefully, these aren't the math skills Obama will use to fix our economy.
Only envious people despise those who are able to do & are able to have the things most can't ... but if the tables were turned, the feelings of envy would disappear!
Go McCain, pick Mitt & watch the taxes & wealth redistribution disappear.
Owning multiple homes shows good investment sense.
Obama earned 4 million last year so he can hardly identify with the average American. I think he made a mistake in trying to make a big deal about McCain's homes.
There is clear evidence that Mitt made all the difference in the management of the event. It does not take away from your contribution--or the thousands of others who did so, apparently without looking for a pat on the back.
Please get a grip. You hear of Mitt Romney because he is successful (Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc). He knows how to be an executive and manage an organization to success. He is the ONLY one potentially in-the-running who has that level of experience. A Senator is a politician, not an executive.
I stand behind Mitt every chance I get--because I don't believe this country needs more politicians. We need results.
Yeah. Nobama, Nobama, No.
Obama doesn't care are darn for anyone in America;
He thinks he's a movie star. 20 years at a church that is nothing but anti.america
I'm tired of the democrats giving our country away to all the illegals.Voting against this being and
english speaking country. voting against oil drilling, Obama still insists on using foreign oil,giving social security to illegals, health, schooling etc when americans can't even get it. Polosi needs to be run out of the country. these are all things we need to start worrying about!
Love to see all the name callling by these posters. Its a sure sign they have nothing!
Mention anything even remotely related to Romney and they come out foaming at the mouth.
Weird.
I became a Romney fan when he gave his "Faith In America" speech last December.
Remember Dems, that was the faith he wrote that discussed America's RELIGIOUS foundation and you liberals en masse started whining that Romney was a bad man because he didn't include athiests and agnostics in his speech.
If that speech didn't excite you, you don't have a patriotic bone in your body.
Romney 2012!

Based on Obama's lack of experience and McCain's age, I would say the vice president nominees will be a bigger factor in this year's elections than ever before.
