Does Romney dislike America?
A bit strong, perhaps. But the more you think about what Romney said, the more you wonder how he really feels about the country he wants to lead.
What kind of nation are we if nearly half of us are lazy, self-indulgent moochers who will never be persuaded to mend our ways? Ill never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives, Romney said, thus writing off a huge share of our citizenry.
From his perch high atop the class structure, Romney offered an analysis of political motivations that even Marxists would regard as excessively materialistic. He speaks as if hardworking parents who seek government help to provide health care for their kids are irresponsible, that students who get government aid to attend community colleges are not trying to care for their lives. Has he never spoken with busboys and waitresses, hospital workers and janitors who make too little to pay income taxes but work their hearts out to take personal responsibility?

I didn't think anybody alive could be an even worse President than George W. Bush, but I am starting to believe Romney has that potential.

(45,319 posts)Mitt's Grandpa fled the US so they could continue being polygamists. When the Mexican Revolution happened, they again fled this time back to the United States, where they were supported by welfare, 'refugee benefits' paid by the taxpayers of the nation they had abandoned, the Romeny family had not contributed a flat dime to the tax funds for years, but they had no problem taking from the taxes of others, they used the social saftey net without hesitation.
Mitt's own father was raised on Welfare and Mitt is therefore a horrible person, who seems to hate his own family as well as our country. Not sure which country is Mitt's. This is the country he takes from, we don't know that he pays taxes at all here....
