Romney raps GOP rivals' government backgrounds

Please stop telling us why the other guys are no good and tell us what you will do to help our country!!!

Romney ran against Kennedy in 1994 and lost, so if he had won wouldn't he be a career politician?

This compassionate Christian conservative founded a charity that was actually a bit of a scam. In 2001, following up on a faith-based urban charity initiative around the 2000 GOP convention in Philadelphia, Santorum launched a charitable foundation called the Operation Good Neighbor Foundation. While in its first few years the charity cut checks to community groups for $474,000, Operation Good Neighbor Foundation had actually raised more than $1 million, from donors who overlapped with Santorum's political fund raising. Where did the majority of the charity's money go? In salary and consulting fees to a network of politically connected lobbyists, aides and fundraisers, including rent and office payments to Santorum's finance director Rob Bickhart, later finance chair of the Republican National Committee. When I reported on Santorum's charity for The American Prospect in 2006, experts told me a responsible charity doles out at least 75 percent of its income in grants, and they were shocked to learn the figure for Operation Good Neighbor Fund was less than 36 percent. The charity -- which didn't register with the state of Pennsylvania as required under the law --- was finally disbanded in 2007. Huffington Post

Mitt is just what the GOP Powers that Be are looking for. He's weak, he will do exactly what Grover and the GOP tell him to do. Just sit there and sign the Bills we send you. They don't want a leader; they want a puppet.

Did I hear that right? The second generation politician slammed Gingrich and Santorum for being in politics too long?

So wait, we're supposed to trust the guy who is funded by the wall st. banks we bailed out because the other guys are in the government that the wall st. banks paid off to bail them out?

Likewise, a so-called "leadership PAC" created by Santorum that was supposed to fund other Republicans instead seemed to mostly pay for the lifestyle of Santorum and those around him. My investigation of the America's Foundation PAC showed that only 18 percent of its money went to fund political candidates, less -- and typically far less -- than any other "leadership PACs." What America's Foundation did spend a lot on with what looked like everyday expenses, including 66 trips to the Starbucks in Santorum's then-hometown of Leesburg, Va., multiple fast-food outings and expenditures at Walmart, Target and Giant supermarkets. Campaign finance experts said the PAC's expenses -- paid for by donations from wealthy businessmen and lobbyists -- were "unconventional," at best and arguably not legal. Santorum also funded his large Leesburg "McMansion" with a $500,000 mortgage from a private bank run by a major campaign donor, in a program that was only supposed to be open to high-wealth investment clients in the trust, which Santorum was not, and closed to the general public.

Its like governing Mass is some kind of real experience Willard, come off it you've got no real experience; you are just a corporate vulture!

He was governor of a state. Politician. He headed a corporate raider company as his business experience. Thinks $300000 isn't much money. Doesn't worry about the poor.
Gets his funding from Wall Street and large corporations. He thinks corporations are people. Now what could possibly go wrong if he is elected president?

Romney is running to be elected as the Ultimate Washington Insider!

Mitt will fire all guvment employees he gots the expericrances i durn hears

Not that I think being a business man particularly qualifies one to president -- the last businessman president was Jimmy Carter and the one before that was Herbert Hoover -- but it infuriates me when Romney claims he was a businessman. Looting companies as a corporate raider is not what real businessmen do.

Romney has very little background in the government because nobody would elect him. It isn't because he hasn't tried. At least Santorum and Gingrich got elected.

Romney real experience is (a) being born rich, (b) putting his inherited wealth in a blind trust and letting professionals manage the money and (c) buying election as governor of Massachusetts where he fathered Obamacare.

As Aretha would sing... Chain of fools

I enjoy how Romney who has been running for President for nearly ten years now raps his opponents for being politicians and having experience holding public office.

Santorum=named most ambitious senator by a magazine;labeled 1 of 3 most corrupt senators in 2006--other 2 are jailed, Rick lost;remains lobbyist pocketing money from corporations for help in getting tax dollars.Newt=lobbyist, crony capitalist, 84 valid ethic violations,gave back 4 million book advance, etc.

Is Mitt a weak enough individual to keep Grover and the GOP happy? What they want is a figurehead President that they can easily manipulate. Someone who will just sit there and sign the bills they pass to him.

There is an Olympics every four years and they all seem to run just fine, in countries all around the world. An Olympics in the USA is just a lot easier than in most other countries because the USA already has a headstart on most of the infrastructure requirements.

In reality, Romney's money bought him a tokem position as head of olympics when he really didn't do anything but show up at a few cocktail parties.

He's smart not to anger Paul fans. They are as committed and vocal as Barry fans.

He has a convenient memory lapse- the only reason he does not have gov't experience is that the voters rejected him. He has a losing record in his campaigns, first he lost to kennedy, which shows poor picking his battle. Then he was rejected by repubs in 2008. Why should a reject expect to win this time?
