Stick a fork in him......  He's done.   If he were elected President......  instead of offering a beer,  he'd offer you some whine to go with the cheese.   What a shmoe.

The debate is not crucial moment for Mitt.  Enough people have figured out that he's a problem that he finally will be done with his wanna-be-king dream in a few weeks.

Romney is a Mormon or a More Man or Mammon. He accumulated so much wealth yet it seemed it was never enough. He is so fastidious in his tax avoidance schemes as if depriving government of funding for taking care of the sick and poverty sticken, the veteran and disabled was somehow a masterful display of his cleverness and business acumen. Why does this man want to be President? Government is not a limited liability corporation and he can't hide behind closed doors with his executive crew to make policy. He can't go offshore and create trust funds and complicated schemes to entice investors from round the world to also save their "hard earned" or inherited or stolen dollars from the tax man. Whom does he think he will govern? The One Percenters who need government least and only to enrich themselves and to reduce their obligations to others? How many sentences do we have to listen to beginning with "I don't care about......."? The ever pliable Mitt has more positions than the Kama Sutra and most of them will screw ya.

So what you're saying is, whether someone stays the same, or whether someone flip flops, both are bad. Gee whiz Mr. McGrory, kinda makes it tough to keep anyone happy, don't you think? And isn't it a little ingenuous to complain about Romney's wealth, when no one but the wealthy can even consider to run for public office with any chance of success? And how come people don't complain about the wealth of Senator Kerry, and senate hopeful Professor Warren? Even the Obama's have acquired a comfortable nest egg over the years. And in Massachusetts, we often forget that our near-sacred Kennedy dynasty was initially bank-rolled by Joe senior's wealth, and many have insinuated that it wasn't all acquired in the purest of methods. Sound bytes don't reveal the true heart of any individual. In the end, they just tell us what the media source wants us to hear.

Another nice ad for Obama

May he lose decisively. He and Ryan are a danger to our Republic, and two boils on the rump of the Republican party.

Having appreciated many McGrory columns in the past, I remain confident that he will soon share with us his advice to the other candidate, the president who ran as post-racial, who promised to transform American into something wonderful. Tell us, Brian, how when he works a room, he looks into each person's eyes and shows that he really cares. Find us ONE story in which Obama actually does something quietly good for someone besides himself -- you know, like the many stories about Mitt helping a father find his lost daughter, or sit with a family with a sick child, or give his own money to help people. Find us ANYthing that shows Obama cares. Here, let me help; check out how he is, as he tells us to be, his brother's keeper -- the one living in a shack, needing help with his sick child. Looking forward to the column, Brian!

Mitt shares the same view as a lot of affluent people I know - the success they had can be replicated by anyone who's willing to work hard. They don't look at the advantages they had or that there might have been some good fortune involved in their financial success. Surely there's a considerable amount of lazy people in the 47% but there's also an equally considerable amount who’ve lacked the advantages and good luck to become financially successful. While I'm sure Mitt has worked extremely hard to get where he is, he also had advantages few could ever dream of. Unfortunately he'll never be able to connect to the common man who works hard but struggles to stay above water. If elected, he'll be beholden to his affluent base and all we'll see is status quo. I'm not a big fan of Obama but I'm tired of how things are so hard-wired for the 1%.

I hope the nation pays attention to that recording of Mitt's statement that the 47 percentage of welfare recipients are just living off the government and want to keep it that way.There are others, especially those guys that call into the numerous right-wing talk show hosts, who share this same, worn out Republican position. I say to Mitt and to others like him that if you lost your job and your house and are unemployed, wouldyou seek government help? Mitt would be among the first to apply, I'll bet. Welfare is there to assist people to get back into the private sector and become eventually self sustaining. And maybe, who knows, the Republican complainers may have relatives, who also need help. Even in the best of economic times, there is always that percentage of unemployed who need help or maybe we could just let them panhandle and sleep at  the airports, but the police would quickly remove them.

Gotta love these mindless liberals putting a spin on Romney's 47% comment. Obama has spent more in 4 years than Bush did in 8 years as President.  Obama has done nothing except tax and spend.  Hope and change was a failure and his new slogan of "Forward" is more smoke and mirrors. It's time to dump Obama before he totally destroys our economy.

The reason Mr. Romney can't do any of that is that he has no interest in governing — the only reason he's in the presidential race is that he wants to get the "Presidential Badge".

Per the article, "But the way that you characterized the 47 percent as believing they are “victims” unwilling to “take personal responsibility and care for their lives,” that showed you haven’t learned a thing in your less-than-grand pursuit of the presidency."

Let's look at this from a slightly different perspective. Often with your lot in life or history or station in life there are a number of myths that are just floating around you waiting for you to grab. The help explain the terrain and give meaning to your life. If you are a soldier, perhaps it's that the enemy is evil (although they are really just human beings like yourself), and if you are poor perhaps it's because the system is fixed and your parents abused you. Well, if you're rich, undoubtedly one of the available myths is that you are rich because of your own capabilities and hard work (remember, Wang and DEC did so well because of the billiance of their founders, and their employees -- until they didn't). So, why are the poor not rich, given that it is completely up to the individual? Of course because the poor see themselves as victims, don't have good capabilities, and don't work hard.

Now, you don't have to take the easy way and just suck in the available myths, you can think it through for yourself, and, if you have diverse experience with all kinds of people in all kinds of stations you have the raw data and the detail to think yourself to a factual conclusion.  I doubt that Warren Buffet or Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or William Fullbright.
