And you never cited a source in your first post - you only said "gay JUST means happy," to which I replied "not JUST, it has multiple meanings." Then I presented a definition from Random House, proving it means more than JUST happy.
O.K., however your dictionary listed "homosexual" as the first definition of "gay", while mine listed it last - out of four definitions.

It seemed to me that you were promoting the primary definition of "gay" to mean "homosexual".

Seriously, you libs are sometimes just way over the top.
He's not "working", he's just advising his son a bit. Not criticizing him, just stating facts.

Apparently, you don't know what work entails.

I have unloaded trailers, loaded trailers, chopped up plastic with a sledgehammer, sorted recycling material in an environment where one needed a mask just to breathe, transported files from one location to another, painted aerospace parts, pulled orders in a stockroom, conducted inventories, retrieved shopping carts, worked on a sales floor, stocked shelves, repaired computers, conducted production tests of electronic devices, assembled electronic systems, provided online and telephone customer service, designed websites, been a security guard, worked on an assembly line, pushed a broom, mopped floors, mowed lawns, served meals, washed dishes, managed an organization, bartended, kept books, and served as a corporate officer.

There isn't much that you can name that I haven't done either to earn money or in a volunteer capacity - and there is much that I have done that I did not list in the above paragraph.

That said - Mitt Romney most certainly is working - and your hatred of him based on his political beliefs, or your disdain for the people who drive our economy - risktakers, entrepeneurs, investors, ect... does not invalidate that fact.

What have you done?

He rejoined the Marriott Board. The Marriott family and the Romney's go way back and share the same faith and values.

Average annual base comp for a Marriott board member is about $115. With incentives, comp may push $150K, plus expenses. I do not think the money is Romney's motivation.

Now here is a guy who rolls up his sleeves and gets things done.

Barack Obama may be gainfully employed, but it will be interesting to see which man creates more jobs in the next year.

My bet is with Mitt.

The coming years will show Americans just how mistaken they were to not put Mr. Romney in the White House.

I blame the 4 million Republicans who didn't show up to the polls on Nov. 6.
It's nice that his son tossed him a bone.

Right, which is something repuglican politicians aren't familiar with, as most are born with silver spoons in their mouths, like willard was. That tax cheat never worked a day in his life. If he had, he wouldn't have been soooo out of touch with Americans during the 2012 campaign. Think about it.

Oh, you don't like Detroit? Because you know if he was, he'd find a way to liquidate it, sell it off to China or another country.

Lest you loose your lunch on the carpet and step in it while bent over and dizzy and track it through the house, which would be one heck of a mess to clean up (don't forget the bottom of your feet and between the piggy that went to the market and the piggy that stayed home while you're scrubbing), I invite you to use the ignore feature.
