Romney: Face time

Romney has his first ad speaking directly to camera, and he wants everyone to know he cares about everyone. “Both President Obama and I care about poor and middle-class families,” he says in the ad. “The difference is my policies will make things better for them. We shouldn’t measure compassion by how many people are on welfare, we should measure compassion by how many people are able to get off welfare and get a good-paying job.”

The Boston Globe: “Less than two weeks before an investment firm controlled by Mitt Romney decided to invest in a China-based home appliance company, the company put out a detailed document to investors promoting itself as a low-wage, low-tax firm that would not be subject to taxes in the United States. It used ‘inexpensive labor,’ Global-Tech Appliances wrote in a prospectus meant to attract investors on April 8, 1998.”

He is a good man who cares about his Country. Qualities that are currently missing in the Presidency. There are a percentage that will not vote for him for several reasons but I do not think it will be 47%. I believe in America and I still believe in her people. The true lock step believers in the left will not vote for him simply because he has an R by his name. I hope the percentage of them has gone down with the foolish display of the current President.

    Dude: There are a few more reasons to not vote for him besides him having an R by his name. Again, why are Republicans such whining martyrs? It's always somebody else's fault.

    Let's see, in the face of turmoil in the middle east, our current President has been cool, calm and collected, while Mitt Romney makes rash statements, and stirs the international pot.

    Saber rattler or diplomat?

    I think I'll stick with President Obama.

    Your President was a fool in the latest middle east "bump in the road" . The Pot is stirred. Only a fool thinks he can appease them with hollow talk.

    You can stick with him all the way. I expect nothing less from you.

      rukidding??? First there are a so many reasons not to vote for him other than the (R) behind is name. The President has better detailed policies on education, health care, women's rights, renewable energy and so on. Romney - don't know what he stands for because it changes every time he speaks which is very disturbing in itself. How can you trust his latest statement when there is video tape of him saying the total opposite repeatedly??? Amazing.

      Also who is "Them" that he is appeasing??? Are you going to put on the uniform and go kill "Them"??? Do you know who "Them" looks like??? How much debit is that going to add the bottom line - which of course all your (R)'s blame the current administration for when it was President Bush that took American into (Two) unpaid for Wars. Yes- there is something to be said for diplomacy.

      Education. Same as it always is and much like this President. Failing at all levels. He has the same policies of bottom up and all that does is hurt the bright by lowering the bar. The stupid get no help and the smart are held back by the others.

      Health care. He failed in that with his stupid ACA.

      Women's rights. I believe they had rights b4 he took office.

      Them is who are against America. IE Mooslum(spelled the way he says it) extremest or Taliban.or anyone willing to burn the flag. Those who wish to destroy Israel. I guess you could even throw Democrats in that pile since they stand for the same garbage.

        Sorry but the man is a JOKE, but the real problem is he believes the crap that comes from his mouth, he cannot even express his concern for his wife without looking like a total fool.

        Romney said. "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly, there's no — and you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem. So it's very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she's safe and sound."

        How can anyone allow someone like this to be president.

        I always thought that oxygen intensifies a fire anyway why would i want to open a window to allow the fire to burn faster? I'm just saying there are some no brainers

        “The difference is my policies will make things better for them".

        What policies Willard? There not policies if all you have is a title. Anybody can write a great novel, just write a great title put it on the front of a thick book cover, call it a novel. But when you open it up there's nothing but blank pages, it's not a book it's a good title, just like your policies.

        It's so true. Why would anyone vote for Romney. The hijackers of the republican party have just kissed their time goodbye! None of the moderate republicans I know have anything nice to say about either candidate, but they dislike Obama a whole lot less!

        OK! Gov Romney has been railing on China cheating while his investment firm is investing in cheap Chinese Labor to profit from the cheating? Makes sense for someone who is interested in making profit, not for patriot who puts country first!

        The Bible says to envy not the oppressor nor should we choose any of his ways but I don't think that is in the Book of Mormon? Anyway hypocrisy is still hypocrisy. Gov you are a Hypocrite!

        Folks the sad truth is that I am not a political person and
        I do not get involved except for every four years. I use to listen to the news
        to figure out who the better person would be to run this great country of ours.
        I must tell you that four years ago I was impressed with Obama and I even
        thought to myself that the media sure seems to like this guy. I was one of
        those people that thought the media’s job was to tell both sides of the story
        so that the people could form their own opinions.

        I have to tell you after watching the news on TV, reading
        the typical news coverage on the net like this one I started noticing that no
        matter what happened in the US there was always an excuse to why President
        Obama had nothing to do with it and it was caused because of the right or wall
        street or the banks or the European money crisis or the latest because of some
        stupid film clip on the net that offended someone and it was not an act of
        terrorism (which turns out to be completely false and was an act of terrorism)
        and if you watched news that favors the other guy, no matter what happenes it
        is always the Presidents fault.

        So with this in mind I started doing my own research and
        finding the facts on both candidates (not just taking what the media told me or
        what I read from people that leave comments on sites like this). I have came to
        realize that the media is very bios. They only tell half of the story or only the
        parts that seem to benefit their agenda. It comes form both the right and the
        left. However after researching things I can tell you without a doubt there is
        much more bios for Obama than for any one out there.

        I voted for Obama in 08 but with all of the bios media
        coverage that I see this time around I will probably not be voting for him again.
        I think everyone knows that ALL politicians will tell you what you
        want to hear. THEY ALL LIE! But know the media is doing the same thing and to think that they use to through a fit about people that did this!

        Anyone that wants to know the truth and does the research
        will see that President Obama has really done very little to make this a better
        place to live. He takes credit for some of the things that you see today (wall
        street, housing and so on) however if you research this as well you will see
        that these things are only temporary and caused by non sustaining influences
        and if things don’t change in breakneck speed things are going to get much
        worse for all of us in this country.

        Yes President Obama was dealt a bad hand but he d#*n well
        knew that going into this job and that was what he told us in 08 and now says
        he didn’t know it was that bad. BS! We all (everyone that has to worry about
        their next pay check) knew how bad it was so this means he isn’t in touch with
        any of us either or he is ling again like politicians do.

        Romney may not be the great speaker that Obama is or
        may not even be the best America has to offer but if you research all of the facts
        for yourself you will see that he brings more to the table than President Obama
        does.

        I guess I should thank the media for opening my eyes and
        forcing me to do my own research because I am completely shocked to what all
        you can find if you just take the time to look for it. Sorry President but my
        vote is going the other way this time. This country can’t take 4 more years of
        this. Its time for a change and time the people start finding the real answers
        instead of listening to the bios media out there!!!
