Does anyone know exactly how many years Mittens has spent running for a political office?

There's the time he ran against Ted Kennedy, there's however much time he spent running for governor, he ran for the republican nomination in '08, and it's probably safe to say he's been running ever since.

Maybe it's not possible to pin down exactly how many years he's been running/campaigning but I often think of him as a "professional candidate." He doesn't seem to do anything but plan for the next campaign/election.

If he doesn't get the nomination this time, will he try again in 2016?

You'd really think at some point he'd figure out that nobody wants him.

He has only ran for any office a total of four times...that is not a lifetime in any way. I would say he won't run again if he doesn't win this time. He almost didn't run this time. You can relax now.

He gets paid hundreds of thousands a year just by talking ... To hell in a handbag, with a first class ticket.

This is what we call death by ruru ... just put a paper sack over his head painted like the American flag and pretend like you are doing it for your country.

Yes, but it's "not much."

Better yet, stuffed in a box and strapped to the roof of a Suburban for a twelve hour trip.

He makes millions a year off of his investments without ever opening his mouth. He doesn't have to do speaking appearances or write books or really anything. I wonder all of the time why he even wants to put himself through all of this.

Yeah, we already know ... by definition that is what we call the 1% ... That is in reference to money, and not IQ ...

Class warfare is not a really a Ron Paul concept I don't believe.

Class warfare and the federal subsidizing of corporations are two different things. The bankers vs. the rest of us is as well ... People like you may agree with a plutarchy, but many of us disagree ... Including Dr. Paul.
