Is this how you define middle class????
george romney was not president of AMC until 1954, and even then executives at AMC were no where near as well compensated as similar executives at the big 3 automakers. romney was probably upper middle class at best at the time.

HE didn't do it alone. HE and his associates did it. HE is not responsible for establishing Bain & Co. HE was an employee. I don't think HE has the capabililty to come up with a solution to solve the financial problems that we are faced with, never mind run a country. What HE may know about is how to create more personal wealth for the wealthy.

I can't stand people who make promises to the People and then can't deliver! But has thousands of excuses why he can't.
He sort of reminds a friend of mine, not me of Mickey!
But Mickey is cute? And at least has a good personality. Likeable, likes everyone, treats everyone the same, can't say the same for Obama.
Economy still in the tank when election rolls around, think what you want, those many many many many Americans who lost jobs and homes under this administration, if they still cannot find work. They aint' voting for Obama.
His economy sucks, put the blame wherever, most of us know who is at fault.

I will probably still end up voting for Romney if i think he can do better on the economy than Obama. But believe me, i will be holding my nose in the voting booth.

Actualy , if your only making 45k a yr and are in a higher tax bracket then Romney you need to seek out a qualified accountant.

But as you said I dont like Romney but will probably still vote for him, just as about 54% of the voters also say.

Default I just don't LIKE Mitt Romney

There's no reason you should.

And unless you're a fellow multi-millionaire, Romney certainly doesn't like you. We "little people" just don't register with guys like him.

Mitt Romney is a privileged monomaniacal preppie that enjoys destroying anything and everything.

Along with the OP and many others I do not like him and would not want to meet him under any conditions.

His Presidency would be an unMITTagated disaster for 95% of the American people

His "controversial stance in an election year" is because it's an election year, not in spite of it being an election year.

I highly doubt you'll be voting for Mitt Romney. The slobber on your chin tells the story.
As the foam in your mouth personifies the right's love for ChickenS**T ChickenHawks.

I don't like Romney either, but between him and Obama, (Who has already admitted to being a bully, using drugs etc etc, while the bully thing was already debunked about Romney), Romney is the tallest pygmy.
