Romney blasts Obama in Denver

ones that really do. We had better wake up and choose the right individuals to help us get back on
track. This election is critical. Be sure to vote for the right people.It is our future that we should
be concerned about. Not the silly things that too many have an opinion about. Let's get REAL...
You are also silly for believing that the number of homes/properties one owns is relevant. Do you consider a 3% partnership in a property full ownership? Do you consider 10% full ownership? If the bank still holds some portion, do you consider that ownership? Would you count homes that his wife owned separately? The number of homes owned is about as silly as demanding knowing how many socks he had in his drawers telling you nothing of substance. Is McCain wealthy? Yes, especially through his wife. So what. The money seems to be growing so he obviously is doing something right. Did Obama's siblings receive the same educational advantages as he? Heck, did you receive the same educational advantage? Were you a boarding school graduate like Obama?
McCain was a maverick until he sold out to get the nomination. Now with McCain it is more tax breaks for the wealthy, more war and more Karl Rove politics of hate.
I am ready for a change.
And what would those be? The ability to flip flop like every other politician?
Let's not forget the gift to make bureaucracy bigger (Massacusetts health care) and the talent of turning a blind eye to Gov't inefiiciency/pork barrel spending i.e Boston's big dig.
Why do you think Utah is such a POOR STATE?
Frugal People in Power
Cheap Skates that are Rich.
The Rich will do nothing for the People
When will Utahn's learn?
The only change you will see if the nation goes wacko and elects Barack is your income taxes going up significantly and more people feeling they are entitled to government handouts.
You need to study what he promises and the causes of the failure of nations in history. They go hand in hand.
Romney who?
Oh, you mean the richie-rich flip-flopper guy who told KSL:
"God has spoken to man since Moses?"
Isn't this opposite of what other Mormons believe?
Good, strict Mormon boy - isn't he?
I would rather have a President who isn't sure of how many homes he has invested in and owns over a President that doesn't know how many States there are - or when life begins!
And, I would much rather work for a rich, successful man than one who isn't!
Have you not ever heard of the word "Forgiveness."
And to the person who asked if a Mormon would vote for a Baptist. I am a Mormon and I would vote for whom I thought was the right person for the Job, regardless of his/her religion. Religion should play no part in politics.
How many homes will you have after a Nobama presidency? Don't you understand that dems are richer on average than repubs?
They all suck their living off the backs of the people. At least with the repubs, they want us to keep a little more of our hard earned money.
It's always difference when it's not you ox being gored.
It also amazes me that people hate the successful in the country so much and yet if given the chance, most would love to be successful, too. The class envy card is so old- and yet the Democrats that are rich are never asked to be held to that same standard.
Finally- Romney would be a great foil to the fake Biden- and would out wit him any day of the week in a debate.
You mean the change that will come when Nobama allows the Bush tax cuts to expire?
You mean how Nobama continues to allow illegals to invade our country?
You mean how Nobama will kill the healthcare industry?
If you're going to talk like Karl Rove you have to leave the bishop voice at home.
How many mormons who voted for him know that he led one of the few states who legalized abortion while he was in office?
I am leaning for Obama, but I would switch to McCain if he was bold enough to give a woman a chance to be VP.
No need to attack- it is my opinion.
Many others were POWs during the VietNam war. We respect them and feel empathy for them, but that doesn't necessarily make them heroes!!!!!
The two terms--war hero and POW--are not synonymous.
You deserve Biden because you are to stupid to know how much Romney could help this country!!!!!!!
Old Vs Kinda New?
Angry vs. Wordy
Maverick vs. Interesting
Wait until Florida as a final vote count!! Surprise - more hangin chads.
If a Democrat criticises a Republican it is called a "great speech" as in 100% of the Democratic Convention.
John McCain and Mitt Romney could barely look each other in the eyes during the GOP primaries. They both have a different perspective on policies. Personally I think having Romney as his vice president would be a poor decision. Especially since we understand that all Evangelicals and Christians down south simply hate Mormons. And it annoys me as a LDS member that people in Utah are already saying that just because I am LDS, I should be committed to Mitt Romney.
And is Mitt serious when it comes to flip flopping? Look up Brother Mitt Romney's record and you will see flip flopping time after time again!
It's quite simple. Americans are sick and tired of politicians who spend 90% of their time arguing and 10% actually doing productive work to make America a better country. Whatever the case, we need a change.
Mitt Romney was born into money. How does the average American relate with Mitt Romney? How many people in Utah would you consider to have real money (wealth)... knowing that we have one of the highest bankruptcy rates in the country if not the highest currently.
What this comes down to for the large proportion of Utahns is Abortion and Gay Rights. That being the case, maybe many of you Romney Lovers should look up his story while he was the governor of Massachusetts. If you do so, you may be shocked to learn that Mitt Romney could better be referred to as TWO Faced Mitt.
The Presidency swings with the results of the economy.
I'm still mind boggled how the Republican Party came down to three clowns as their main choices for a candidate: John McCain (Democrat in Disguise), Mitt Romney (Sean Hannity Wanna-be / the Great Mormon Hope), and Mike Huckabee (Mormon Hater and Wonderful Example of the True LoViNg Nature of Evangelicals). Then again I wouldn't wanna be the Republican candidate to follow the steps of George W Bush either!
I have concluded one thing about Barack Obama and Utahns. Most will only vote Republican because of Abortion. That is the only reason why some people even find interest in politics, to fight and bicker about abortion. Next, most will vote for Republicans because they firmly believe that Republicans have less favor when it comes to gay rights. And last but not least, the others won't vote for Barack simply because he is black and Utahns are typically racist.
So because I have government grants which enable me to go to Westminster College, am I a bum and just lazy? If the government helps those that are less needy, why is that an evil? What would Jesus Christ have done? Unfortunately not everyone is blessed with a great family and the same opportunities as many of us. I get so tired of hearing about welfare and Democrats increasing welfare programs to help "lazy people". Bill Clinton is many of times referred to as the best Republican president of all time. Look up his records when it comes to welfare...
Nonetheless we should put down homeless people and those that have less talents and opportunities than us. I cannot comprehend in my mind how people really think this way and call themselves humans.
Now what if someone had 45 years of experience that meets exactly with the Republican format... would that person make a great President? When it comes down to it, its all about the people you surround yourself with and how you bring those people together that makes you a good president. Its all about bringing a nation together in one cause to make America a better country and to unite the world in world peace. What about John F Kennedy and his experience?
Explain the expected resume of the perfect candidate running for president...
Zing!!!
That wasn't nice but it was hilarious!

"It was wrong, offensive. John McCain is a true-blooded hero. [for owning 7 houses]" = stupid statement.
"Four, one less than John Kerry," - Mitt Romney = "Democrats will tax me to death and I can't buy another home. Oh, woe is me, what will I do without shoes?"
"I'm not running for anything now," - Mitt Romney = Thank God!
Dear Anonymous compares Romney to George Washington - Sir, I have met George Washington, and Mitt is no George Washington [or TJ or Ben Franklin]
Obama VS Fidel says"drive this nation into socialism with his liberal friends" = what planet are you living on?
McCain/Romney = 1984.
