Iceman_1960 - to be fair - I think he donated $25k each to a bunch of charities - but as you say - it's a check and he wont miss the bucks and anyway he gets the tax deducations.

The Limousine Rambo in action...

"Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, also saluted a uniformed soldier in the crowd and called for donations to military support organizations. Last week, he donated $25,000 to seven such organizations."

Write a check. That's it. Then get back in your limo.

Mitt Romney has an estimated net worth of $250 million. He won't miss that $25 grand.

Later that day, Mitt Romney was asked about poverty in some segments of American society.

"Some elderly people can't even afford to buy a loaf of bread, Mr. Romney" one person said.

"Let them eat cake then" said Romney with a smile.

You've heard of the Limousine Liberal ? The wealthy liberal person who claims to have a deep concern for the poor, but is not actually directly engaged with them on a day to day basis ?

Romney and his sons are Limousine Rambos.

They call for a "a surge of support" for U.S. forces in Iraq, but they're not about to do anything themselves, but ride around Iowa helping out in a political campaign.

Limousine Liberals and Limousine Rambos.

Who needs them ?

Just keep weeding them out....one by one. Eventually they all show their true colors, quite by accident. Great question, and perfect way to 'out' a hypocrite.

I thought stating his dream of making New York a safe haven for illegals was the nail in the coffin, but now the coffin is sealed. What an utter duffas. Kiss this one buh-bye!!! Insulting and arrogant, to say the very least.

"Tell me they don't stay in the best hotels and eat in the best restaurants."

The article does state something about touring through Iowa in an RV.

Well, as long as they're roughing it like that...

I hear the back roads in Iowa are littered with IED's.

Does Mitt Romney realize what a slap in the face that comment was, the the families of the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan ?

To equate their loved ones' service in those hellholes, to the cushy, comfortable and glamorous life of Mitt Romney's sons on the campaign trail ?

Tell me they don't stay in the best hotels and eat in the best restaurants.

Romney is flat out dumb to make such a comment.
