Some interesting facts about Mitt Romney

[SmellsLikeCurlyFries]

We may not like what we have to choose from, but we have to choose.

Says who?

Romney has put thousands and thousands of people to work, yet all he can be remembered for is he carried a dog on top of his car.

Not quite. He's also remembered for never serving in the military, putting thousands and thousands of people out of work (which pretty much cancels out how many he put TO work), and his record as governor (which isn't as hot as some people think).

He is a good person, has a good family, knows the business world and has experience to help get us out of this rut

I agree with that.

Someone who had no experience stands up there and says that Romney's experience does not qualify to run for President.

Sorry, but President Obama has been President for three years. You can't say he's not qualified any more, nor can you say someone who has NEVER been President is more qualified than someone who has been President for over three years.

The 3 years just gave us more evidence that he is not qualified and does not know what he is doing. Look at every chart available - straight down - except debt - straight up.

He can't blame Bush forever - and once we go down the tube - it won't matter whose fault it is - we can't be brought back at some point and we are about there

Doing things you disagree with =/= not being qualified.

He hasn't blamed Bush any more than Bush blamed Clinton, Clinton blamed Daddy Bush, etc. The blame game is just simple politics. They all do it.

So no response to outright lying in your OP?

When his opponent is a black Democrat with "Hussein" in his name.

Oops! Mach's Law kicks in

Some facts left out here or complete lies.

First, Biden and his wife make a fraction of what Obama and Romney make. He was the poorest US senator, and the only one with only 1 home.

The bulk of Romney's donations go as tithe's to the Mormon Church. According to his religion, this isn't really considered to be optional.

Lastly, it is an outright lie that Obama gave 1% to charity:

He gave nearly 22% of his adjusted gross income, Romney gave 19%:

2011 Mitt & Ann Romney Estimated Return | Mitt Romney for President

So technically, Obama was more charitable then Romney.

I don't see any lie here to address. Romney giving to his church is used as chariety - the people who receive help does not care where the money came from. He gave all his inheritance from his father to a college.

Don't know about Obama's 22% - what was reported on one IRS form was the 1% - not familiar with any other - does not make it a lie - have to do some research on this one.

Biden gave a pittance - I give more to charity than he does - that's not a lie.

Which is?

Which is?

Mach's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability that criticism of black politicians, especially Barack Obama, will evoke charges of racismhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics) approaches 1 (100%)

Aiming for poedom there Mach? Brace for disappointment mate.

No worries mate

He gave all his inheritance from his father to a college.

Not to disparage an act of charity but the context of that donation is worth knowing.

TL;DR
He was already a multimillionaire when his father died.

 

[SharonL]

But the fact still remains that he gave his inheritance away and I don't understand why someone has to apologize for being successful. I would think it would speak very highly of his ability to lead.

 

[ThatRobGuy]

We know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or squander my money on vacations. We know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the "Spending President" has gotten us into. We didn't know that when Obama said he'd give us change, he meant nickels and dimes, and he would get the big bucks. We won’t like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney’s background can do it.
​

I'm not a democrat by any stretch, but let's be realistic here for a moment. It's silly to say that you know what a president is or isn't going to do before he's taken office. He can say whatever he wants right now...if he gets elected, he'll be sat down for a little chat, then change his tune...just like every other president after Andrew Jackson.

I dont recall anybody anybody asking Romney to apologize for being successful. Can you give any relevant examples?

Apparently you're confused, because I made no accusations of racism.

curley is right and this mach law does not apply to his comment. All he did was to say Obama without spelling out his name.

"When his opponent is a black Democrat with "Hussein" in his name." could have easily been written as "When his opponent is Obama."

There was no hint of racism unless you believe that calling a black man black is racist.
