If you have to have a camera on you, to go into a hardware store, or any store, just so it looks like you are a regular Joe, you probably are not! You are just playing some kind of mind game!

WILL WIKILEAKS WAIT UNTIL ROMNEY RECEIVES THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION BEFORE PUBLISHING HIS TAX RETURNS

Posted on August 2, 2012 by jcarroll



Doesn’t Romney know that a large number of people who work for the IRS can pull up his tax returns? All they need is his Social Security number. People who work for the IRS retire every day, and all of them are not republicans. They can give out information without worrying about losing their jobs. If Wikileaks can get classified documents that are top secret, they can surely get Romney’s tax returns.



If Romney is that naive, we can not trust him to be President of the United States of America. Romney has proven more than one time that he is a blatant liar. As they say down on the farm, “You couldn’t trust Romney in an out house with a muzzle on.” When Romney’s Father was running for President and got brain washed, some of the brain washing water must have splashed on Mitt.



I would bet my money that Senator Harry Reid knows that Romney didn’t pay any Federal income tax for ten years. Visit the Internet Free Press every day.

Studies have shown that Conservatives were whiney as children and are or will become whiney as adults. Also more fearful of changes,people of races or religions different from theirs, also the fear of losing everything they have accumulated over their lifetime, as in the fear that it will be stolen from them by people of lower economic standing! These studies took place over a period of 20 years in London England. The studies also cite that these conservatives will "puff-up" to make themselves look fearless and hostile when challeged by Liberals when it suits them. THESE



CONSERVATIVE CLOWNS ARE AFRAID OF EVERYTHING, so we need to use their fear against them!

Mad Dog Sez..... Lets show them how Damn Mad we can get!!!!!

Asking Mitt Romney what he bought in a hardware store is just like asking Sarah Palin "What do you read"? Different question same out of touch result.

My first question is does the country club that was built with government fund allows the average non millionaire to play golf or be a member?

I guess when you have 1/4 of a billion you need to shop for yourself and do chores around the house now that you enjoyed firing people. This man and his family doesnt know what it is really like to live the life of an average American.

Blueb I had company insurance all my working life, but had to pay for my family's insurance a couple times. It is a shock when you have to go into the market place and see how little you get for the big dollars you are paying. Sometimes the deductables are so high it doubles or triples what the insurance company doesnt pay. I am retired and for the last two years I have had to pay medicare, for extra coverage, dental, and eye insurance and it has taken about 375.00 out of our budget and then add the duductables for meds and at the end of the year I have paid about 4000.00 to 5000.00 and most goes to insurance companies. We are lucky we dont have a lot of meds as some do and we are fairly healthy, and I can guess how hard it is for people who have major health issues.

The people who complain about obamacare are most likely the ones who havent done this and the joke is if the right takes over they maybe losing their nice and cheap employer insurance. As soon as people like romney have a chance they will cut and gut workers rights and I bet they will hire people below minium wage and tell these people how lucky they are to be working at all.

Mittens is good with his own type and types are no determined by race they are determined by economic levels. Anne is pretty good in her own economic level too...



btw i have had health insurance always since i was a baby, been very healthy during that time. been a dem always, so always supported democratic socialist principles even when i was working as a successful engineer. always believed we need a nhs, a single payor nhs,..even when i had never had any financial difficulties. ..i still believed.Then the greatest recession since the great depression happened, for the first time i was downsized out of my job.also w/o health insurance for the first time in my life. Decided to go w./o health insurance because i was so healthy and this recession was sure to end soon and i would get employer health insurance again. i hedged my bets and got an individual policy anyway.



Turned 40 and the rate for that individual policy jumped to what i thought was unreasonable for a healthy person with healthy ancestors. I decided to let it go and wing it. I was sure to be employed soon.



Exactly 30 days after that policy ended, i was unexpectedly struck wiith a debilitating chronic illness. Expensively Treatable but incurable.



i paid for all my care, but my health providers let me pay back on a monthly plan without interest...to an extent i was a free loader on the health care system...i held "the value of service" for a year without paying interest on it. During the year until the principle was paid off.



And even though i have ALWAYS been sympathetic to those without health insurance, I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED WHAT IT WAS LIKE UNTIL I LIVED THROUGH IT!!!



MITTENS and ANNE are the same, they will never get it because they cannot imagine it, it is beyond their comprehension....



there is a mayor somewhere who is living homeless on the streets for a week to try to understand what the homeless are going through. I respect his efforts and he will be a better mayor because of his week but he too will not ever really understand know because and the end of his week he is going back to better.



Mittens and Ann can never understand and its foolish for them to try to make an appearance of understanding.





Mittens VP pick should be someone in the bottom 1% to match his upper 1%

Romney is not comfortable in his own skin or he is a very good actor. It is hard sometimes to tell if Mitt is really out of touch with regular folks or if he is just mocking us. This man has been so good at manipulating the income tax system. I am not sure what Romney is really all about. As videos show, he is continually flip flopping and lying or does not really know the facts. Do people really want this kind of person to serve as President of the United States?
