@mike -

Money to support isn't the problem - it's when the money is used to gain favoritism from and/or change a candidate/elected official that it becomes a problem. And even then, the solution is to hold the candidate/elected official responsible and not Goldman Sachs.

Quit blaming the drug dealers (campaign contributors) of the world and start holding the drug users (corrupt politicians) personally accountable for creating the demand, as all the supply in the world would be for naught if there wasn't a demand.

<applause> from the crowd :)

You got my vote.

@Bren -

Anything you learn about Romeny from now to election day isn't going to change your vote at all and you know it.

So why be disingenuous? You already have your mind made up and it's following a party line.

@ JRH, just borrow the succinct wording of Bob McBride: 'You're voting for Obama'.

Bren you are going to vote for the magic Negro, so why even ponder the though?

Magic Negro. Yup, no racists in the GOP.

Didn't the 'Magic Negro' thing come from an LA Times article?

Yo David Ehrenstein, in uh Los Angeles Times op ed column o' March 19, 2007 coined da phrase Magic nigga. Ehrenstein be uh liberal democrat, Keif Jus' like Orenthawl James.

Yo "Yeah, da negro from da L.uh. paper Said he makes guilty whites feel pimp-tight dey’ll vote fo' him, an' not fo' me 'Cause he's not from da hood. Jus' like Orenthawl James.

@Keith Schmitz
I know facts have never been your strong suit; however, it should be pointed out that the non-GOP LA Times labelled Obama as the Magic Negro.

Prior to that the origin appears to lie with Hollywood, academia, and a discuss lead by Spike Lee. I might add those 3 entities are also non-GOP.

I've said I believe Barack Obama deserves the time to let his economic strategies work, same as George W. Bush was given the opportunity to demonstrate the longer-term impact of massive tax cuts. I'm not being disingenuous Mr. Hoffa, you aren't paying attention! ; )

If Romney should win the election I'm still going to live here and want to know that whichever candidate wins is going to do a good job. Understanding that there's not much a candidate can actually lay out (tactics) until actually in place, I'm still waiting to hear Romney tell us, "As a venture capitalist, I did x and so. These skills directly translate to leading the free world by y and z." Hasn't happened. Do his offshore accounts give him foreign affairs expertise? No, because he has a fund manager. I hear a lot of Someone Else's Morality talking points, personhood amendments (which would ban most forms of hormonal birth control), anti-ACA (imagine speaking in front of African Americans and calling ACA "Obamacare." No wonder he was booed. There's some people skills going on there. Will he also mandate haircuts for gays as he demonstrated as a student?). Yes, I'm waiting to hear the words that will give me confidence that America will have elected the "best and brightest" if Romney wins. Obama has kept Wall Street afloat, helped save the U.S. auto industry, stepped up anti-terrorism and deportation of illegals, and addressed healthcare. Not too shabby.

@Bren
What flavor is your Kool Aid?

Everything Romney did at Baine is public knowledge including that fact that he saved 80% of the companies they invested in. Which is a better record on investment then Obama.

I enjoy the idea that GWB and Obama should deserve a chance, but we need to kick Scott ASAP.

"Kept Wall Street Afloat", if I am not mistaken with the amount of campaign contribution given by Wall Street kept Obama afloat. Not to mention most of the money going to Wall Street did not go towards the altruistic plan of mortgage help, but went to buying smaller banks and CEO payouts. Not to mention some of the banks are still practicing as there were prior to Obama.

"Saved US Auto Industry" Jeremy Anwyl, vice chairman of Edmunds.com says, "benefits surrounding the launch of the Volt, lately it has become more of an albatross ''emblematic of the bailouts" and closely tied to President Obama." GM needed restructuring not money to pay off unions.

"Stepped Up Anti-Terrorism" by releasing the US convicted OBL driver.

"Deportation" That completely goes against he recent EO that says to do the opposite.

"Addressed Healthcare" Have you been paying any attention. The recent brilliant decision by Justice Roberts on the unconstitutionality of the exchanges will burden the Federal government with trillions of additional dollars not originally projected. All Obama did was force your children and grand children to pay for today's healthcare.

Gotta love this "Clinton said queries into Mitt Romney's foreign bank accounts in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands are relevant to evaluating his fitness for the presidency — "just as relevant as the going over my record as governor got when I ran for president." Though Romney’s Swiss account was closed by his lawyer in 2010, he still has money in the Caymans."

The Clintons have 3 accounts in the Cayman Islands.

Don't you read? He has. But hey, nobody has laid this kind of insane demand on a white president.

Yo Where iz Barack Husseins college transcripts? sho 'nuff!

Keith:

Perhaps we just haven't had a White president that wasn't known to be born in the US.

It isn't Obama's race that brought up the birth certificate issue, it's the fact that he spent so much of his youth outside of the US that brought his birthplace into question...

Mitt's polygamist grandfather (3 wives) fled to a Mormon colony in Mexico where his father George was born. The family chose U.S. citizenship for their children. Even though he was born outside of U.S. soil George was consider eligible to run for president (1968). Questions arose back then about this issue. Conversely, Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, which was a U.S. territory for decades and became a state in 1959.

The Constitution called for presidents to be natural born citizens or living in the country at the time of the document's signing. This was to accommodate the young nation's hopes that Alexander Hamilton (born in the West Indies but emigrated to the colonies) would run for president. Those awake during U.S. history class will remember how that worked out.

Lyle, so you are discounting Romney based on who his parents were?

There are a lot of rich people who serve in public office. But many of them see it as a duty, not an entitlement.

barack hussein obama gots through life wif Affirmative Action daddy, don' you forget it in the hood

@Lyle
You only have the Obama autobiography to prove your point. As more and more is actually learned, that book may not be completely true. Also, he has yet to release his college transcripts. In which many believe he claimed to not be an American born in order to gain unfair privilege. (thus the creation of the birther claim)

While Mitt may have had more money in his family when he was younger, both lived a life of privileged that most other Americans aren't able to. Worked for the American, is BS. Even his first job out of college was attained through his Chicago connections. You liberals are trying to make Obama to be more of a mythical figure then what he really is.

►I think wealth is the last thing we should be comparing.◄

so why 2 paragraphs following comparing wealth? Obama had not walked any walk, this is the first thing he has ever run and it is showing, big time. You are correct, he gained the presidency by talking that talk.

Gee, did the Kennedy's or Rockefeller's have to work for the American Dream. How about John Kerry and his wife's ketchup money. Obama had Tony Rezko money backing him.

Yo Keif Schmitz what you jivin' about? you be jealous o' rich peeps, dat iz why you jacked all o' dat money from da poor folks wif dat bookstore, you liar Jus' like Orenthawl James.

Keith, I've read your drivel, and the ONLY way you think people get rich is by making others poorer.

How, exactly will Romney benefit more from being President than anyone else who gets elected, including Obama?

Yo Keif Schmitz jacked $30,000 from da Village o' Shorewood ta start uh failed bookstore. He also jacked 'coop fees' from little old beotches, Keif iz da one who steals from da poor, problem iz, Keif iz still poor an' uh failure you know das right!

46 million on food stamps under Obama. Who is making who poor now?

►Coud care less if someone is rich. God bless 'em.◄
►Except,◄

yep, you do care, more BS
