What's rMoney's most disturbing statement / sentiment? - To me it was when he told

[AnotherMother4Peace]

a bunch of college students to "just borrow $20,000.00 from their parents" to start a business. I heard him say this just after receiving a call from my son in college. He needed money for food, so I scraped together $100.00 to put in his bank account. He's a 5th year math major, and can't really work this semester. I almost cried when I heard rMoney say this - I felt like a failure that I couldn't lend my son $20,000.00 - I don't know why, but I just felt bad.

[Whisp]

1. Romney is an unfeeling, rich jerk. You are a good Mom without money.

Please don't feel bad. It is horrible of him to make you feel bad.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

6. Thank you for the kind words. My family has much to be grateful for - he's

our youngest, and was fortunate to be accepted at a good, but expensive, university. We're trying to keep his loans at a minimum. When I heard that "...just borrow $20,000.00..." statement by rMoney, I was incredulous. It took me a little bit of time to figure out if it was him or me that is out of touch. Is it me, because I haven't accumulated more money, or was it rMoney because he has no idea that $20,000.00 is a lot of money.

2. About that...

We are cahing out our savings bonds to pay tuition for our daughter. When its gone, that's it, she is on her own.

We planned the bonds for this but what we though would cover 4 years might not even cover 1!

[malokvale77]

3. Don't feel bad over something...

that privileged, self-centered, obnoxious, asswipe says. He knows nothing about the real world.

[Care Acutely]

4. +1. What ^^^ said.

[pamela]

5. The statement that gave me chills...

When Romney said we should just let the housing market bottom out so investors could buy up the homes and rent them out. Well, a small portion of the population has all the money, I guess getting all the houses is the next step.

7. That's good business, you know. That's why government shouldn't be run like one.

And that's the reason they want the government 'drowned in a bathtub' to get out of their greedy libertarian paradise. The screams about freedom, liberty only apply to those with means. And they'll keep on resisting all taxes and regulations that get between them and the money. People don't count.

8. your son may qualify for foodstamps.

How long have you been working and paying in to the system. Tell your son there is no shame in getting help. Have start looking for more scholarship opportunities through the school and through scholarships.com (for example) . Where there is a will. There is a way.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

10. I'm going to have him do that - it would help a lot. Thanks for that info.

My husband & I have been working all our lives and paying lots of taxes. This son of whom I speaketh is the one with the "preexisting conditions" which has cost us, and whom benefited greatly from Obama care. He was denied medical coverage, but then I was fortunate to be able to put him back on my plan. I just fear the day that he may be denied medical coverage again.....

[arcane1]

9. That was definitely one of his most out-of-touch comments

It showed how small an amount he thinks $20k is, that every kid could borrow that from their parents. But his worst comments to me are the ones where he rags on his supporters for the cookies they served, or the rain ponchos they wore, etc.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

12. How cold & rude & dismissive he is - can you imagine him in any diplomatic position? frightening!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

19. rMoney makes people feel bad about themselves: the cookies they make, the clothes they wear,

the medical conditions that make them vulnerable, their savings accounts, etc.

He is a vulture capitalist. People, all people, serve one purpose for him - to make him richer or more powerful - nothing more, nothing less - He cares not one iota for U.S. citizens or the citizens of the world.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

25. He even tried to make London feel bad about their Olympic Games - That sure backfired. nt

[salin]

11. Let me count the ways (hard to judge which is worst)

Obama's constituency (code for Black) wants to not work and have the govt pay for them (my words- but the essence of one of his regular lines).

Corporations are people (but shouldn't be regulated and subjected to laws, while real people have to follow laws).

Let Detroit Burn... er... let the Auto companies go bankrupt.

After campaigning as friendlier than Ted Kennedy to Gay Rights issues, essentially stating to a couple in crisis that he didn't care if they had no rights as a family - and ... gee you have families?

Treating American voters as idiots - who deserve no full information about who they are voting for by not disclosing personal financial information (tax returns) as all other candidates have done for at least the last two decades, and running a campaign that changes positions on major policies frequently leaving no voter sure about what his presidency would mean to the country. Same thing, but doing it on the few issues that he claims to have expertise and campaign upon (Business Alpha Man... but no details.)

Frankly, no one item bothers me more than the others. Taken as a whole - he is campaigning on emptiness and each day demonstrates a deep contempt for American votes.

[ecstatic]

13. I agree with your points, and I think what bothers me the most

is his deep lack of respect for us voters. The outright lies, the substance-free speeches, the refusal to show his tax returns, etc. Is it that he thinks we're all very dumb, or is he the really dumb one? People say he's smart, so I'm guessing it's the former.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

15. So many - rMoney has revealed that he is not Presidential material...

[arcane1]

16. He wanted single mothers on welfare assistance to have "the dignity of work"...

even though the mother of his children never had a job in her life. I think that statement has won my award tonight for shittiest thing he ever said

[WinkyDink]

18. It is the one thing I hold against Clinton.

14. Mitt Romney in Kalamazoo: Brighton has the best deals on grave sites, according to his father

This one wins the creepiness award!



Mitt Romney in Kalamazoo: Brighton has the best deals on grave sites, according to his father Gov. George Romney

KALAMAZOO — Mitt Romney had some advice for his Kalamazoo audience tonight.

If you want the cheapest grave site in Michigan, look no further than Brighton.

The Republican presidential candidate said during his 40-minute talk in Kalamazoo:

We were in Detroit this morning, at the Detroit Economic Club, then through Mount Clemens, then drove here across the interstate.

Drove past Brighton. My parents' grave sites are there. My dad — trust my dad — my dad is a very frugal man. He checked all over for where the best deal was on a grave site. And he found a place in Brighton — because we didn't live in Brighton.

It’s like, "How did you pick Brighton dad?"

"Well, it's the best price I could find in the whole state."

17. Good gawd! Don't let that fuckwad control you with his lies! He knows nothing about what we have

but he sure knows what he wants to take from us.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

22. See post #19 - I had a revelation tonight - People only serve one purpose for rMoney, to enrich and

empower him - anyway, anyhow - vulture capitalist - he cares not one iota for the citizens of the U.S. or the world.

[lonestarnot]

23. For sure! Glad you are onto him. Chin up and work it!

[Bobbie Jo]

20. Been there, been there....

And you're right, he lives in a different universe. That statement went right through me the same way.

[pa28]

21. He wants incentive pay as president similar to a CEO compensation package.

http://economy.money.cnn.com/2012/06/12/incentive-pay-for-president-romney/

The idea of a short sighted president bailing out of office with a multi million dollar golden parachute was more than a little chilling.

Unfortunately, the media nearly ignored this bizarre proposal.

[YellaDog1950]

24. To be completely honest, the man himself disturbs me.

There is nothing that he's said that makes me feel bad, but everything that comes from that clicking water sprinkler head makes me irate. It's not that he can't relate to others, it's that he doesn't want to relate. His whole universe consists of his Mormonism, his family, Bain Capital, and his desire to become King. He is no better than any other human being on this earth, and far worse than all I know. Never let people like that make you feel bad. He's definitely a waste of thought.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

27. "...to be King..." That's it! - by any means necessary - truth has nothing to do with anything. nt

[defacto7]

26. I think what he was saying was this...

If you don't have $20,000 to offer your child, then borrow it from your friendly banker.

If you don't qualify for the loan... then you're child is not really worth it, is he?

I mean, who of any value would not be able to qualify for a pitiful little $20,000?

Everyone needs to be one of us or in debt to us. That's what life is in my America!

Signed, Father Mitt


aschloch!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

28. That's his thinking & the scary part is that he sees nothing wrong with it. nt
