Michelle is a Harvard law graduate. Ann Romney is a college dropout. And I am not a "you people."
LOL

I know you're used to hearing liars, being on the left and all, but Romney and even the NYT says he paid taxes.

Do you really believe the things you write?

I hear Herbert Hoover sucked. You reps had better defend him or you're hypocrites.

Ann states that Mitt had money he got from his father and that's why he was able to pay for law school, have an apartment and she was able to say home and not have a job.

Daily Kos: Ann Romney's tale of 'struggling': We 'learned hard lessons' living off our stock*portfolio

Do you Reps need EVERYTHING explained to you? Or just a few facts here and there?



See above post. Mitt left school without loans and without his wife needing to work. They did NOT struggle. It's annoying when she lies and tells us otherwise.



It's not liberals asking Swiss Mitt for returns. It's standard operating procedure and has been since Agnew was revealed to be tax cheat who went to prison for it. Mitt thinks the rules that apply to others don't apply to him. Had Obama pulled the same nonsense the guy would be probably be in jail now.

Tithing to the Mormon church so that Mormons can attempt to convince others to join their cult and wear their magic underwear does not really count as charity.

Mormon clergy are unpaid. Mormon missionaries must pay their own way--travel expenses, food, living quarters, etc. None of them are paid for their services. An internet search reveals that the Mormon church has many charitable activities around the world, especially with disaster relief.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDS_Humanitarian_Services


Charlie Rangel managed to escape jail for his tax related shenanigans. Mitt Romney is not known to have cheated on his taxes--unlike many in Obama's administration. (Geitner, for one--I forget who else.)

You seem to think it is more blessed to pay taxes than to voluntarily help people in need.

It is sort of hard to interact with people who can't tell the difference between a Harvard law school graduate and a fictional, animalistic male character. Or between a man who graduated from said law school with huge loans and a man who did not because his daddy gave him lots of money.

She just does not get it.
Maybe you should have made better choices in your life instead of sitting around now whining about how someone has it better than you.

Because it's the law to pay taxes, and since he's not been accused by the IRS or convicted, we can assume that he has.

I know all you conspiracy nutjobs will go to your grave moaning that he didn't pay, but you'll just look foolish to the end.

Your disgust is quite disturbing actually. And yes, love affair. Michelle pretends to understand the regular folk, but in spite of her average upbringing, she's now living the high life, on our dime, partying and vacationing to rival the rich and famous. A woman who, in spite of pretending to be a parent, is letting her mother and private schools raise her children.
Rick Santorum wants to ban it. He was a major contender for the nomination. He's a speaker at the convention.

Do you people ever actually check to see if these crazy things are true?
The Death Panels myth has been completely debunked. More than 40 times.

I'm curious, do you have any reasons to hate Obama that are based in facts and not just talking points from Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck?

And you're complaining about Obama letting her mother and private schools raise her children (even though their kids are wonderfully well behaved) yet you applaud Ann Romney who not only does that, but also has a full-time staff?

Come on.

This is why our electoral system is idiotic. So many voters are just completely ignorant to the facts and the cling to random BS for some reason as the "truth" and use that misinformation to make their choices. People should be required to take a test before voting, just to show that they're not misinformed dolts.

Obama's problem is not that he isn't Mitt. Obama's problem is that he doesn't do enough to confront people like Mitt.
Tell that to the work force at staples.The number one president for shipping jobs overseas is Obama

Most of us never thought it should involve electing a president with Swiss bank accounts.
Most of us never thought we'd elect a president with ties to known terrorists, but here we are....

As for a first lady telling us how to run our lives, look no further than Michelle.
