- If Mutt can just raise another $100 million, every thing will be fine. This is NOT the kind of person we want in the White House. For him, money is the solution to everything, when it is not.

- Romney doesn't care about their minds, he just wants them to open their wallets.

- O-Mitt Romney says, You don't have to like what I do or say or stand for. I am a leader; and in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. However, in the land where more than 47% of the voters can see clearly, the blind are in the minority.

- it seems to date that romney is all fluff, all talk and no go. he has presented no details on how he would solve the nation's problems if elected. thus far all romney has done is criticize and talked about high level goals but all without substance. he was on the campaign trail and presented nothing. okay, romney will present details at RNC but again nothing. now romney's position, it seems, is that he will present details during the debates. guess romney doesn't know that debate speaking time is limited for each question. truly at this point, romney is all fluff. the election is only a month away, or so, and romney still can't present details.

- Romney to potential donors in California:
"I wanted to share some thoughts with you tonight. They can provide you with some comfort," he said. "Polls are not elections. The voters have not yet spoken."
No Mitt, the voters haven't yet responded to your spoken thoughts and believes. Allow me to replay them again:
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. And I mean, the president starts off with 48, 49,... he starts off with a huge number. These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. And he'll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean that's what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people; I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. What I have to do is convince the 5 to 10 percent in the center that are independents that are thoughtful, that look at voting one way or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not, what it looks like."
You know what makes our Country great? It's not the Corporations that come and go. It's not vulture capitalism or monopolies or off-shoring of jobs. It's not the latest craze on Wall Street or the latest fad in the stores.
It's our People. All of us. When we are true to ourselves and true of each other, we all move ahead and prosper.
Democracy is a living, dynamic thing with a heart and a soul and it's not in the Govt. it's inside everyone of us.
That is what our country is. Capitalism is just a vehicle for it, subservient to it.
The times when we place greed above honesty, Corporate tax shelters above people and ideals are the times when we lose as a nation and as who and what we are..the times when we put bigger goals out there for all of us to reach for, together, that raise us all up, are the times we win as a people and as a nation.
Let's not go back to the greedy, reckless times from 2000 through 2008. Let's not forget our promises made to our fellow Americans either and take care of them in their golden years or when they need help. Let's stay the course we are on and grow up and out of the problems we have and build an America we can ALL be proud of.
So much negativity in so many things. Forget about all of it. We all have far more in common than our petty differences. Forget ultimatums and trust in each other and our Nation and we can do anything.
Give a little and get a little. In the end, it doesn't matter how big or how small our Govt is, what matters is how we chose to treat each other as people. We have always chosen the hard road. Respect and kindness. Why should now be any different?
This election is about more than just choosing between one person or the other. A lot more. - Reply to this comment

- Another bad report on the economy, indecision/apologies on foreign policies, and anymore blame game, will cause the end of Obama. Oh wait, here comes the media to his rescue!

- The best chance Romney has of getting donations is if the donors have an open mind.

- What Romney meant was for the Donors to keep an open mind and open wallet.

- Another foot in mouth statement and Romeny is finished. If he has to go hat in hand to rich conservative donors then he is in big trouble.
