Mitt, the means is the end. The way you get there is what will determine what you get when you arrive. No one can serve both God and money. Your early conditioning has warped your priorities. A values clarification is definitely in order. Both Hitler and Mussolini intended to improve the human race. They were not stupid men, but they were extremely ignorant. Please stop the lies and manipulation. They will not make you happier. Happiness will come along only with honesty, complete honesty.

    The kook D.J. Diebold once again shows all just where on the IQ map he/she is located and it isn't anywhere near normal civilized Americans reside.

    "Both Hitler and Mussolini intended to improve the human race."

    Puleeeeze you sick individual, take your twisted hateful ideas somewhere else like North Korea or Iran where they value such manure.

    D. J.,

    A valid point. No man can serve both God and Mammon. Mitt points to his generous sharing of wealth with charities and church. Being generous is one thing. Serving mammon to get gains with which to share is quite another. Compared to his Dad, George, Mitt appears to be serving mammon to make a name for himself, not to serve others. Notice how the widow who gave her all gave more than did the wealthy who bragged of how much they pitched in! Mitt misses the point!

    " Both Hitler and Mussolini intended to improve the human race. They were not stupid men"

    No, they were insane monsters that killed millions of innocent people.

    D.J. Diebold displays the sickness of the progressive left.

    “Romney and his wife, Ann, gave 29.4 percent of their income to charity in 2011, donating $4,020,772 out of the $13,696,951 they took in. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama gave 21.8 percent of their income to charitable organizations last year, donating $172,130 out of the $789,674 they made.”

    Has anyone noticed that the Romney's family are great at business? Twitt Romney took a $10 million tax bailout to save Bains Co. or Romney would have filed bankruptsy and his brothers have also filed bankruptsy.

    Has anybody noticed that Obama is a lousy business man and a lousy president. Perhaps America needs a good business man to bring us out of the death spiral Obama's failed presidency has put us in.

    truth, if you're going to attempt childish criticism, please endeavor to be accurate. My avatar is not a Colt .45 but a Colt model 1911A-1 .45 automatic. I proudly display this fine implement of American ingenuity for the fact that it is a symbol of America's continued fight to remain a free country. This pistol has served America's military for over 100 years in two world wars and countless other skirmishes. The United States Marine Corps (pronounced "Core" not "Corpse" like the Commander In Chief stupidly did), is in the process of switching from the Beretta M9, 9mm pistol back to a Colt 1911.
    Being the ignorant liberal that your posts indicate you are, I would not expect you to understand.
    Keep your head in the sand my Obamamite friend.

    Slabside:...You are aware of Romney's history on gun control aren't you??... On July 1, 2004, Romney signed a permanent state ban on assault weapons, saying at the signing ceremony for the new law, "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people." He also supported the Brady Bill's five-day waiting period for gun purchases. He proudly said those positions wouldn't make him "the hero of the NRA."..... Be careful what you wish for, Slabside.

    I agree that you cannot worship God and money, you have to choose. That is what makes so many on the right so phony. They claim to be the side of God, but everything about their economic philosophy is predicated to greed. In truth many Republicans are a self-serving party that doesn’t care that people like Romney enjoy butchering American jobs and sending them off overseas so that they can make more money. There is this warped mindset that they can get away with throwing people’s livelihoods under the bus, and then claim that they are religious and good people. What a crock! Understand it is not religion I am critical of, it is people who think because they pray once in a while or go to church on occasional Sundays that they somehow are Gods chosen. My understanding of how you are judged is based on what you do for others, not just taking care of yourself. Greed and God don’t mix!

    D. J.,
    You hoped you could live your life with the values and convictions that Mitt Romney has. The so-called lies and manipulations you accuse Romney of are the lies and manipulations of his opponents.

    - lies -
    ONLY male resumes available for Gov Romnesias Cabinet
    had to go out and scour the countryside to find some qualified females
    The women's resumes were on his desk BEFORE he took office!
    - more lies -
    I'm for 100% - except for the 47% lazy beggers and leaches - he's talking about YOU and ME - working for low wages, serving our country, retired, and we all
    pay taxes - everything you buy, in your rent, how about FICA - for those ENTITLEMENTS you'll get after you work till 75 or longer
    He'll make Medicare better - for the insurance companies
    - need more -
    bragged that 40-some % of his cabinet were women - NOT for long - 20-some % when he left office! - he's on so many sides of every issue, he's in the 4th dimension

    I don't know how you Rs can support him - I sure couldn't support Clinton
    Obama got us out of a disaster and we're headed in the right direction. He may not do everything right, but at least he's thinking about us and not the billionaires!

    I'm waiting for Mitt's complete transformation into a beer drinking, deer hunting redneck, to prove that he'll make a dandy prez. His cult has already started to slacken their age old rigid rules for his benefit. Talk about hypocritical to the max. "Church" doctrine that has been in place for a hundred years is now out the window so Mitt will appear more human.
    My problem with Mitt is that he has NEVER had to make a decision like what to buy for his kids for $50.00 for Christmas because that's all the money in the house. He has NEVER had to confront the many problems NORMAL people have to face every day.
    He could not possibly ever relate to the common working class? Women and minorities?????????????????? Don't exist in Mitt's world.

    My Take ... so many many " Christians " believe that Jesus died for their sins.
    They think " well Jesus died to have my sins forgiven so since he died for me I might as well commit some sins -- no point in Jesus dying for nothing in my case ... and since I'm already forgiven since I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and believe He died for my sins ... any sins I might commit are already forgiven which means I can do any da*n thing I want .. cause Jesus loves me and died for my sins ".

    Regardless of personal opinion, conventional wisdom (or should I say the conventional absence of wisdom?), polls and every other element related to politics, to improve the future of our descendants we must be aware on a continuous basis.

    There once was a time, most believed that we could elect a candidate with some trusting knowledge and the benefit of minimal doubt, that we would be treated equitably.

    Today it looks quite clear that micro-managing each and every politician might be indicated. If so, what do we need them for? The answer? Absolutely nothing.

    Dear downtownresident,

    If we could only get Dick Cheney to join Mr. Romney on safari, perhaps in the most troubled and heavily armed area of the African continent, we might positively serve not only the future of U.S. citizens, but the world. I will even buy their beer and tip the locals to their hunting party's location by placing a GPS transmitter in every can of beer.

    Dear D. J.: Honesty? Let's refresh your memory. Sheriff Joe Arpiao proved the birth certificate is a fraud/fake; Barry bowed to a saudi monarch; accepted a socialist handbook from chavez; over 900 executive orders; stonewalled fast & furious with as such; lied about Benghazi; whispered in putin's ear, I'll have more flexibility when I get re-elected; upon his confirmation as an elected official, the marxist-in-chief held his first news conference in cairo, egypt; helped turn the arab spring to an arab winter, complete with the re-emergence of the radical, sharia-compliant, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD; gutted our military; destroyed NASA; spent tax dollars on failed "green energy jobs"; 16 trillion in debt; Moody's lowered our rating; snubbed the Prime Minister of Israel(dinner and photo-opts); stopped the keystone pipeline and placed a moratorium to drill on federal lands; price of fuel nearly triples------but the one issue that stands above the rest is-----the potus is surrounded by "CZARS", who are well entrenched in the Marxist/Socialist ideology, implementing their agendas, without Congressional oversight or approval.

    Did I miss something on the wire here. Several refrences to the Bible saying rich people are evil on editorials lately. Oh, must be the Democrats have released talking points saying that rich people- meaning Mitt Romney- are evil and therefore should not be considered for President. Quit interesting as almost everyone in Congress, the current President and high ranking officials in both parties are (gulp) rich. You may recall a passage that said "the poor will always be amoung us". Should we assume the other poor people will be there to support them? I know, gets tricky when you actually think about it.

    kj,

    Care to give us some references for the facts you assert? Or is this more of you "off the deep end" dumpster diving?

    Ah good old Slabside and his lies. *yawn*

    "Romney and his wife, Ann, gave 29.4 percent of their income to charity in 2011"
    The Mormon Church IS NOT A CHARITY!

    When you think of a charity organization, do you think of this:

    Results, someone could even shamelessly proposal stupidity farming Why do not phoned home quickly send money over the guy completely stupid farming as two hundred and fifty, and city people like to just the city's rural people as two hundred fifty.

    Stupid old-fashioned farming, does not know that guy is in completely to him as a two hundred fifty stupidity farming only strongly feel that if we remitted the money, it was his disgrace would rather die than from stupid farming recommend this guy, very disgusted, that hurt his self-esteem.

    6, stupid tillage thought, to actually pique wildly readily to hand over their identity cards and 250 dollars.

    Whether stupid farming know do not know, two hundred fifty this statement, stupidity farming so when the back two hundred and fifty, that wage is so stupid farming also it stupid farming also thought to charge his identity card and a deposit of 250 dollars, would force him to move so well done in the Far East will last longer, is not necessarily a good thing.

    Stupid farming pay the ID card and 250 dollars, and officially became the Far East to move so the employees, it was stupid farming the registration arrangements and asked stupid plowing the time being stay here, to have older employees to take him to live place.

    Them a little stupid farming talking about what matters stupid Geng also did not think of that, what matters, stupid farming go with the flow was almost not to think about what the problem anyway escorted ID card and 250 dollars, stupid farming that deposit, will not allow him to have any ideas, stupidity farming still immersed in which emotion to find work, the thought no longer need to worry about anything, everything will adapt over exceedingly comfortable, stupid farming has never been so careless.

    Stupid farming in the door at the bench and that middle-aged men suffer sitting in a stupid farming would like to know more about that middle-aged men, stupid farming actually do not like to take the initiative to understand others, that middle-aged men The mind is heavy, do not want to say anything stupid farming more than obviously somewhat taboo, much coach factory outlet online to let it go out.

    Stupid farming only preliminary learned that middle-aged man is Cantonese, is also just officially became the Far East to move so the employees, but not stupid coach outlet online farming points in a group, the stupidity farming unclear how Cantonese recruited, there are coach factory online no escorted ID card and a deposit of 250 dollars, that Cantonese is obvious to the Far East to move so the job a few more in mind, is not optimistic this stage of life in which he, as well as experience, the stupidity farming can not imagine, he to coach factory outlet Cantonese this age, but also in moving houses, looking for a move so stupid farming which stage of life, let what coach outlet online him regardless of experience, should experience a little anxious to promising pressure, said white little purpose to work as laborers, like stupid farming to catch up with the proper degree of maturity for his age, quickly grew up in the community, more not a little anxious to have sterile pressure, it is not to have coach outlet to work to earn money. .

    Yu Geng told the Guangdong people consonance, no need to lay bare, with the horizon self less Meet mention the deja vu.

    8, twelve hours later, an old staff rushed to the scene, you want this to go to a place to live with the stupidity farming and Cantonese.

    Old staff is still young, but bony, blue overalls, wearing a short-sleeved shorts even more distress Liao down, the surface look dull bosses in front of moving houses in the Far East, Cited Well Well, loyal, and did not dare delay, tarry, they hastily took stupid farming and Cantonese to live where the seems not stupid farming and Cantonese slightest interest.

    Leave the office, stupid farming and Cantonese are each picking up coach outlet store two sets of overalls, but still know nothing about the matters related to that anyway, the future will slowly understand, do not have suspicious.

    9, from the cheap coach purses office came out, stupid farming further learned that it the Cantonese was originally a formal job, because laid-off coach factory only to Guangzhou to work very optimistic that Cantonese Far East to move so the job, if he were with his life experiences, it is necessary to understand the move so the job than the stupidity farming in the Far East more Cantonese chatter Susu with stupid Geng said, give it a try anyway, to feel bad, it certainly will be dismissed out that Cantonese move so the job of the Far East, there is no settled down, variables.

    Stupid farming mouth wanted from that older employees learned about the Far East to move so this work, stupid farming generally do not like to find out from someone else, but stupid farming is actually very mouth from others to find out what happens, and that old employees but why do not want to reveal about the Far East to move so the job, vague buzzing murmur, the old employees just talked to dry to move so the line not alone contribute on the line, but also speaking skills, Do not break something that older employees seem to be seen, stupid farming even picking up two sets of overalls ID card and a deposit of 250 dollars, even if the country does not guarantee the into had to move so this line seems to imply stupidity farming should think coach purses outlet into had to move so would not join this line, variables, and even more do not have to talk about wages like.

    Stupid Geng also did not think he found the job of the Far East to move so will this line into the move so stupid farming no such mental preparation, stupid farming feel like the older employees who he can be seen that the Far East move house job is how nature, he definitely has that older employees do not become the kind of look that older employees will become the kind of look into moving houses line, he do not care in moving houses this line .

    Far louis vuitton purses East to move so the job is the first job stupid farming work, stupid farming can be a strong sense of the Far East to move so significant job, almost indicates how about the prospect of his work, indicates his ability to work how samples should be treated carefully, emotions are running high, stupidity farming heart in addition to the Far East to move so the job, and then have no other ideas....
