I am not one to defend Romney; I do not like him.

But if you cannot afford to stay home without government's assistance but you do it anyway, what can you expect? Someone else is always footing your bills because of the choice YOU made.

Only people who can afford to stay home without asking for a handout should do so.


How is that bad?

If you don't get paid or get weekends off, if you can't call in sick, if you can't leave the work at the office at the end of the day, if you can never be promoted, if you can't get special treatment because you are a minority, if you can't quit and take your resume someplace else, if you can't call "the boss" a big flippin' weenie behind his back, if you never have to chip in for some gift, it's not a job. It's just hard work.

Poor women shouldn't be encouraged to have children they can't afford to support without government help. It's time to take away the subsidies for the poor.

Otherwise, yes, it does take a lot of effort to raise children well. And again, the poor are doing a ****-poor job of doing so. They don't teach their kids the value of doing well in school, and they can't even help their kids with their schoolwork.

At least he was being honest. He doesn't care about the dog, he just doesn't want to fall short of his projected 3rd quarter likability optimization quota.

It really is pathetic to some degree, that you use a source to bash Romney and ignore that the source also said that the dog enjoyed it up there, would try to jump up there as it preferred it up there, and had a wind screen built in.

Of course an abuser will say their victim enjoyed it.

So you don't even know the source of this story and in what context it was said, yet you use it as smear potential. The story didn't come from Romney.

DIANE SAWYER: As we move away from this primary campaign into the next phase -- again, on Yahoo, we got two questions most often, first about Seamus -- which as you know is out there forever -- would you do it again?

MITT ROMNEY: Certainly not with the attention it's received.


That was the quote from the article. By all means please attempt to explain it in a context other than a political one. I'm honestly curious as to what you'll come up with. It should be entertaining.

Of course he wouldn't do it again, because people like you distort reality and attack him with it.

The original story was not from Mitt, but actually talking about how the dog enjoyed it up there, would try to jump up there and get up there, because the dog liked it so much, and there was a wind screen built for the dog......then people deliberately leave out the fact that the dog enjoyed it up there and begged to go back up there to score political points.

To Democrats on this issue, the whole story is a hindrance as it ruins the spin.
