Why do you liberals care more about what Romney does with his money than what the government does with yours?

I don't know about the Libs, but I am tired of risking needing a wheel alignment because of poor road maintenance. The Govt uses money to do the maintenance, some of the Pols move their money offshore so they don't have to have their contribution go towards such "useless" things like roads and HC for the peons.

Well, Romeny does pay taxes on his off shore accounts, or we would not know about all these secret accounts......

Now, before Romney was ever involved, did you care about your roads?

the birther quest for obama's grades came from the belief that he attended occidental as a foreign (indonesian) student (some claim under the name "barry soetoro"). this myth has it's roots in an april fool's day prank from 2009.

"Wonderful" investments? More like "insider" investments. People like Mitt Romney and Warren Buffet get the deals they do because they are investing with huge initial amounts, and they have all kinds of information that YOU don't. This hero-worship of the rich is super sad.

Solyndra was a fiasco. Fair enough. If you don't like Obama because of it, fair enough. But you should have better reasons to vote for Romney than his experience running a company like Bain and making hundreds of millions of dollars taking away pensions and benefits and jobs from working Americans.

Lying about Bain. Again. The real facts don't interest you though, do they? Just spew the lies often enough and hope they stick. How sad the left has become.

Prove me wrong. Read the Vanity Fair article. I'm not "the left," I'm a human being.
