No one will work harder to improve the economy than Mitt Romney, his wife said in a surburban Des Moines campaign stop.
“I know this guy pretty well. I’ve seen him in a lot of situations,” Ann Romney told a crowd at a rally held at By Design furniture store and design studio in Clive. “I trust him implicitly. I know he’s a good man,” she was quoted in a Des Moines Register story.
Romney said she was in Iowa to “talk about a good side of Mitt that very few people know about. Because people know he’s been a success in business and because of that he’s being criticized and attacked. And you know, it’s been hard for me as a wife.”
Mitt Romney's history “tells you as much as you really need to know,” said his wife in the Register story. “Because is that not the real measure of a person? It’s not how much money we make but how we live our lives,” she said.
Ann Romney told the crowd nobody will work harder than her husband for the millions of Americans who need help.
“And I can tell you that there will be no one who will work harder, that will try harder, that will do everything he can to bring better economic prosperity to those Americans that are suffering. He is worried about so many of those that are being disenfranchised, that are slipping into poverty, that are wondering where there next paycheck will come from and how they’re going to make ends me. He will not fail.”

A woman who has never worked a day in her life can’t make her husband seem “in touch” with the American people. There's no doubt a Romney administration would favor the rich and increase the income gap in our country? Mitt is a pariah in Mormon Clothing and will stop at nothing to expand an empire of greed for the rich in this country by expanding tax cuts for the 1% of the wealthiest Americans. He’s out to gut the Middle Class for every red cent he can get. Will his sacred Mormon underwear grant him the protection and money to buy this election? See for yourself as Mitt dons his tighty-whities sent down from the Good Lord Himself at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/05/mitt-romneys-magic-mormon-underwear.html

Brandt, sounds like you have a problem with the Mormon religion. If that is their beliefs so be it. What is Obama's religion. Has he been to church or the temple once since he took office? Obama was correct, you can't change Washington from the inside and he has been there for more than this one term. Remember he was in the Senate. Now has he ever held a job?

Brandt because Mitt chooses to wear whitey tighties is his personal preference or maybe you would prefer he wear the lacey ones that you wear.

My wife of 32 years was a stay at home home. She worked everyday of her life, Raising our 3 children and when they were in school she volunteered. Just as Anne Romney did and still does.I wonder why the media does'nt spin comments like yours on there news. Its comments like yours that surpress women. As if there not important because they don't work, and they stay at home. O but my my my if it Were Republicans saying it, the the media would be all over it talking about how the republicans don't respect stay at home moms.

Tax Cuts, oh you mean according to the IRS figures which show the top 1% pay 36.7% of all income taxes while collecting only 16.9% of income, the top 5% pay 59% of income taxes while collecting 31% of all income and the top 10% pay 70% of all income taxes in the US while collecting only 43% of all income. Which means the bottom 90% pay about 30% of all income taxes paid while collecting about 57% of all income.
So if we cut taxes on the rich they might then actually pay their fair share unlike you who probably doesn't pay anywhere near your fair share.

Troy, how do you justify implying that Brandt doesn't pay his fair share of taxes? What evidence is your claim based on?

OMG! Must I say that raising 5 boys is more work than You Brandt will ever do in your whole life. You think that is an easy feat? she managed to get them into adulthood being respectful, smart young men who adore their Mother and Father. Last time I checked it wasn't against the law to be morman or rich so where do you get off with those statements?

And yes Frank I too believe Obama is a Muslim.

The argument that Barack Obama is a Muslim does not pass the smell test: there is no factual basis for the claim, and it reeks of anti-Islamic prejudice. Sorry, folks, but the birther thesis has been debunked, so take your Orly Taitz shtick elsewhere. Obama never attended a madrassa: you have no proof. Muslims walk among us every day, so can the bigotry.
As for Ann Romney versus Michelle Obama, I know who has been an excellent First Lady. Ann Romney doesn't have time for the American people: vote for Obama, so that Ann can go back to her horses and multiple Cadillacs.
Sheesh...

Here;s is a video of Obama talking about his Muslim faith. And he's says "There is a reason John Mccain does'nt talk about my muslim faith" then he tries to correct it. As he was raised by Muslims and in many instances recites from the Quran which is link #2.

Omigosh, James! You post links to youtube videos which yank portions from Obama's speeches out of context and expect any rational person to accept that as "proof!?" I'm speechless: you want to have it both ways: Obama tosses Jeremiah Wright under the bus (a decision which I opposed), who is a christian minister in a christian church which the Obamas attended for years, then you try to use totally dishonest evidence to then claim Obama's a crypto-Muslim!? Hokey smokes, are you going to pull a Spanish Inquisition on us by condemning his as a marisco!?
We're pretty much done, James: I present you with evidence, you throw up a wall of prejudice, bigotry, and conspiracy lunacy. You are NOT worth any further opportunity cost.

Sooo Jeffers, you aknowedge James is indeed correct and Obamers is indeed a Muslim? But you argue that as a factual point in America he has a right to be Muslim so in fact there is no problem with an American President that is Muslim. Ya, I cry foul and call you pathetic and your influence on our Jr. colllege kids.

Just exercising my protected right to free speech, maxine. I also have a right to pursue my professional goals, which I do.
So, what evidence is your claim that Obama's a Muslim based on? And, even if it were true, what's wrong if he is? You do know the Constitution forbids any religious tests for holding public office, right?
What's funny is I had a student insist to me, "You MUST be a Republican!" I asked her how she came to that conclusion: "Because you know so much about the constitution!"

Here's how you folks twist language into a pretzel, maxine. When I point out that the word is "entourage," you'll get all huffy and call me "elitist." Troy will get all huffy telling me I'm a net suck on the economy, even though he depends on public school teachers to train the people he employs in basic literacy.
Meanwhile, you embrace Mitt Romney, a man with a net worth of $250 million and who paid a lower tax rate than my wife and I, who attended not one, but TWO private universities (Stanford and BYU), while you get all huffy about Obama graduating Harvard Law.
However, I am having fun playing Whack-a-Troll...

I just don't understand why people put down other people for making a good life for themselves. They make good lucretive investments and they manage their money well. My only answer is they are so jealous because they don't have the same amount in thier own bank accounts.

Everyone vote for Mitt Romney......he will get the job done and get us back on the right track. Obama had his turn and didn't do crap. Liar, Liar pants on fire! He lies well, he reads the the teleprompter well, but gee I just don't think that is enough. Bye to OsomaObama

That is right...the republicans DO know alot about the constitution. Most proud Americans do. That is why the dems make so many stupid mistakes, they are so bullish they think they can have their own set of rules and that the rest of us have to follow them when in fact if the democrats would stick to the Constitution it would run alot smoother and to have one set of rules for everyone would make more sense. But nope, the dems all think they know everything there is to know about everything . Little have they figured out yet that they don't.

Let me get this straight, the debate moderator stated she's spoken to commanders on the ground and they were against the reduction in forces during fighting season. Biden thrashes out and asserts the Joint Chiefs (e.g., top brass who get so sit in plush chairs next to President in war room) agreed with the President's decision. Does he think we're stupid?
Also, Iran might be a year away, but who knows? We got North Korea wrong (we thought they didn't have a nuke but they surprised us and the world) and everyone thought Iraq had nukes (another surprise). I don't want to go to war with Iran, but concerned about the path.
Finally, did I hear correctly? Last night, I heard VP Biden assert "Obamacare makes medicare solvent to 2024". Did he mean 2124? That's 12 years from now and based on likely rosey projections. What are their plans to reform to extend and strengthen? Why didn't he respond to "Why not raise the age over time gradually?". When I google CBO's long term projections, the current system is unsustainable. I'm not sure about Ryan's plan, but no plan is terrifying.
Also, sorry folks (both left (making false allegations) and right (wallets)), Romney said tax reforms will mean higher taxes for many wealthy. Watch 60 minutes interview and review is plan to cap deductions. Hits wealthy but ok w spending reforms.

Splinter, sounds like you are an independant, which s cool, I indeed think Biden and Obama both think the world is very stupid and niave., except for all the dems that adore him, anyway I beleive we are in for a very rude awakening if he gets re-elected. If Obama is half as arrogant with other countries as he is our own I hate to say what will happen they finally get fed up.....and I thought and I am probably wrong but I thought Biden said 2014.
