Exactly! These folks have no concept of what a family does to survive. They never have, nor ever will have to decide of a jar of Peter Pan Peanutbutter over a generic brand just to save a few pennies to be able to buy some corn flakes.

Nor have they had to take their children to the ER because that is the only place they can get medical care without insurance. And then the bill is horrendus and more than they can pay, even with their little bit of savings, if they are lucky to have ANY.

Their companies want to pay people minimum wage, and then raise a hue and cry because people have to go on welfare.

They are privileged IDIOTS! Who will swear up and down to take care of all your problems for you if you just elect them to the presidency so they can give more tax breaks and loopholes for the rich and get libraries donated to their name for the greatness of their achievements. The donations and upkeep for which could feed 500,000 families for years.

They''ve already lived royally off our government for 4 or 8 years! And will have been on the take for fortunes that will keep them in luxury all their natural born lives. Isn''t that reward enough?

These men will neither get a vote from me because they support the Neocon regime''s lies and corruption. I could care less what religion they are or whether they wear pink drawers!

Elements, Let me redirect your thinking a bit. First of all, George Romney, Mitt Romney''s father lived a very meager life as a child. His parents did not have much of this world''s good. George worked hard and was able to do better than his father. The Romney''s appreciate more than you know what the "real world" is really like. Mitt is not a wasteful person. As far as seeking power, I would suggest that falls into Mike Huckabee''s camp much more than Romney''s. Mike Huckabee is a "pleaser". He will do and say anything to reach the populus. He has worked hard to overcome his upbringing and his children will be considered "priviledged children" to the next generation. Romney''s desire to serve this nation is that he really cares about America. Mitt could rest comfortablly the rest of his life and be happy, instead, he has put his family and himself in the spotlight for the sheer sense of duty. His parents where outstanding examples of volunteering to help others. Mitt was raised with this value. Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is. I don''t think Mitt loves his money. He does use the resources he has been blessed with to make a difference for others. I have seen more ethic and underhandedness in Huckabee''s record. He is playing the "poor" card.

To Element51 -
Most of us have gone through exactly what you are describing, the normal American Family. Trying to make ends meet, usually succeeding, sometimes not.

The premise that we are going to find a Lech Walesa (Poland) that can rise up from the middle class here in America probably won''t happen in our lifetime. The next best thing is to get someone who has our standards, and can actually get something accomplished with the system we have.
I like Romney, for one, because his standards reflect my standards. Yes, I do think family values are important. I also believe that our next president is going to have some horrendous national fiscal problems. Giuliani, Huckabee, Thompson, and McCain do not have the background to handle that scenario. Mitt Romney does.

There may be some resentment out there from folks who have lived in and around Mormons. The Mormons have a name for them: "gentiles".

Read that famous novel "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey if you fail to understand.

Isn''t is about time the bigots of the world are seen for what they are - nothing but bigots.
For those of you who have managed to graduate the third grade, the words "magic" and "sacred" have two entirely different meanings.
Anyone with an ounce of religious background and identity hold certain things sacred to them. To these people, making light of a persons beliefs would be unthinkable.
To the rest, continue on with your bigot crusades. You''ve been around for centuries and will still be snarling and wailing long after these elections are over with. Then you can work your wonders on the next set of decent people.
