It’s hard to figure out Mitt Romney.
“I don’t get no respect.” How did Mitt Romney become the Rodney Dangerfield of Republican politics? He had and has everything going for him. Privileged childhood in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. Cranbrook School, preparatory academy, BYU and Harvard diplomas (business and law), fantastic success in the business world (net worth $200-$300 million), beautiful wife, five sons (none of whom served in the U.S. military — apples don’t fall far from the tree), governor, Olympic Committee president, $12 million La Jolla, Calif. estate, other multi-million dollar homes. Mitt Romney lives the “perfect” Life.
Mitt Romney’s stance on immigration is not on the same page as his religion. It should be vividly noted especially here in Arizona, the church neither discriminates against the undocumented nor denies them access to a Mormon temple or to any of the ordinances prescribed for adherents of the LDS faith.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s son, Josh Romney, breezed through the Valley this week to help promote his father’s next national campaign fundraising effort.
WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Republican Mitt Romney, the first Mormon presidential nominee of a major political party, sat in the Wolfeboro Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sunday as, one by one, members of his congregation credited him for bringing the faith more into the public eye.
DEARBORN, Mich. - Mitt Romney officially entered the 2008 presidential race Tuesday, a former one-term Republican governor of Massachusetts suggesting that his record of leadership uniquely positions him to tackle the country's challenges.
WASHINGTON -- Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid says he agrees with a fellow Mormon who wrote recently that Mitt Romney has "sullied" the LDS faith and that the GOP presidential candidate is "not the face of Mormonism."
David and Gail Evans filled their house with a dozen red, white and blue balloons, and twice as many friends and neighbors to watch the Republican presidential candidates debate on television Tuesday night.
CONCORD, N.H. — Just two days from the finish, President Barack Obama's campaign is mobilizing a massive get-out-the-vote effort aimed at carrying the Democrat to victory, as Republican Mitt Romney makes a late play for votes in Democratic-leaning Pennsylvania.
It is perplexing to know that Mitt Romney is still out there doing enormous damage to his party. He surfaced in a video interview last week and proved again why he is not the president. At one time he took the losing teapublican approach to immigration. Next, he claimed the party has to do a better job of attracting minorities. He didn’t get it when he was running. He doesn’t get it now. With any luck, neither he nor his GOP train wreck will get it ever.
I would like to thank Mr. Lowell Popham for his response to my letter concerning Mr. Romney’s lack of military service and thank him for his service. I do not think military service is necessary to be president but I do think a person who supports both the war and the draft should be willing to put on the uniform. Mitt Romney is trying to rewrite his own history from having no intention of signing up to “I longed to be fighting in Viet Nam.” I have more respect for Bill Clinton because he opposed the war and was consistent in his belief. President Obama is of a different generation with an all volunteer military and has nothing to do with my views on Romney’s character.
Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has made several clumsy attempts to portray himself as a "Man of the People," down to wearing jeans at his campaign stops. Romney's trying to somehow identify himself with the common folks.
The attacks by his fellow contenders - Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry - on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for his successes at Bain Capital are disingenuous. The rivals are acting like Democrats. Romney's time at Bain epitomizes the type of success Republicans normally worship: financial self-improvement at the expense of the working man.
A few things to consider for those who plan to vote for Mitt Romney concerning his service to his country:
Mitt Romney would like the middle class to vote for him but, looking at his record, this would be a disaster for the middle class and all of America.
In a most peculiar attack launched by Mitt Romney against President Obama, Romney accused Obama of being at Harvard too long. Apparently, Mitt meant to show that Barack Obama is out of touch with mainstream Americans. But wait! Isn’t Mitt also a Harvard alum?
New York City charter schools this year had 51,473 applicants for 12,917 new seats. That leaves almost 40,000 heartbroken families who wanted their children to have a shot at the American dream that only quality education can provide.

Bad businessman or is he lying?
