According to ABC news, Romney is bad for being rich AND for giving money to his church?

Is this where we all chant four legs good, two legs bad? Are we there yet?

Eomney said he made next to nothing from speeches - according to the article he made around 370k from speaking jobs. I wish i were rich enough to say 370k is nothing.

Well in the realm of paid speakers its not a lot. Didn't Clinton make 10 million in speaking fees? Also Romney made the same as Elizabeth Warren last year in speaking fees.

Matthew 19: 20-22:

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Romney being taxed at such a low effective rate is a fine demonstration of what is wrong with the tax code.

It is hilarious to watch the Republicans hate on rich people and big money candidates though.

Jesus will pawn SRC ,when he dies and expects to be praised and rewarded for selling Christianity for his own profit.He sells what every Christian is given and in turn is also suppose to give away.He doesn't understand he is a thief and there isn't a reward waiting for him.

Using Christianity as a marketing tool is extremely offensive to the tenets of Christianity.It is the only thing in the bible that pissed Jesus off enough to make him violent.(the cleansing of the temple)

Not really I am probably the most tolerant non believer on the board. I have absolutely no problem with religion as long as you don't push it on me. I get annoyed when you do. I am not like Reese or Manny when it comes to religion. Pray all you want just leave me alone with it.

There is nothing wrong with being rich.

There is plenty wrong if you are rich and pay a MUCH lower tax rate than the middle class.

There is plenty wrong if you got rich by being a corporate raider than never produced a god damn thing, never created a job.....only used your money to take other peoples work and sell it for your profit and destroyed the jobs of others in the process.

It's quite fun to see "conservative" candidates attack Romney for being a corporate raider, and to watch other "conservatives" try to blame liberals or the "media" for the fact that those candidates are attacking him. laugh

being rich is bad only of you are not kissing Omamas butt





http://newamericangazette.com/2011/01/politics/top-20-richest-people-democrats/

An analysis of the Top 20 Richest People in America (from Forbes Top 100) reveals that a full 60% are actually Democrats. Furthermore, if you eliminate the duplication caused by people from the same family being included in that Top 20 list (Wal-Mart & Koch) that ratio widens even further to:
25% Republican / 75% Democrat.

Analyzing the data takes us even further. Not only are there more Democrats in the Top 20 list, but those Democrats are a lot more stingy with their money. Republicans coughed up $5.2 million while Democrats squirted out only $2.1 Million


Lest we not forget, Democrats outweigh Republicans. Not only in terms of the number of uber-millionaires, but also with their net worth. In this Top 20 group, Democrats have a combined net worth of $263.1 billion dollars while the Republicans have a combined net worth of only $143.9 billion dollars – almost half that of Democrats.

So the next time you hear some Liberal Freak try the “Evil Rich People” rhetoric, remind them and everyone around you that it is the Democrats who are those “Evil Rich People”,






so again who pays less taxes ! laugh

I'm very pleased that Romney is rich. I would much rather someone who knows how to run a business, create jobs and create wealth running the government that someone who not only has never done those things but does not even understand those things. We have been stuck with paper pushing and ignorant people for far too long. We need someone who knows now to cut the unproductive programs and is willing to fire people who cannot do their job.

For having the courage to do the right things the rest of the Republican field are fainting outrage. This will just give Obama free shots at Romney. I was not a Romany fan until the brain dead Republicans started attacking him from the left. It proves they are just how they have always acted; Democrats in a Republican jacket.

Start with the understanding that Jesus was a Jew. And when he cleansed the Temple of the money changers, he was an angry Jew. There were no 'tenets of Christianity' because he hadn't even died yet and his followers hadn't yet magically transformed him from Rabbi to Diety.

On topic: Chances are, yes! You're either a scumbag or--more likely--one of your ancestors was one. Bent the rules, exploited others and made life more miserable for everyone but themselves.

[quote=ineenia]Using Christianity as a marketing tool is extremely offensive to the tenets of Christianity.It is the only thing in the bible that pissed Jesus off enough to make him violent.(the cleansing of the temple)


Really? Have you heard of this Judaism thing at all? You might want to check it out.



I think Ineenia is pretty correct in what he/she is talking about.

You, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Start with the understanding that Jesus was a Jew. And when he cleansed the Temple of the money changers, he was an angry Jew. There were no 'tenets of Christianity' because he hadn't even died yet and his followers hadn't yet magically transformed him from Rabbi to Diety.




Lol...wow...you are clueless.

I'm very pleased that Romney is rich. I would much rather someone who knows how to run a business, create jobs and create wealth running the government blah blah bs argle bargle.


Except the Government is NOT a company, will never be a company and ANYONE that thinks you can run it as a company is a brain dead schmuck.
That and Romney got rich by closing businesses, killing jobs and so on and such forth...


Then again - if he promised to gut the government like he has America, perhaps it would be a good thing. Alas, I don't see this anywhere in the cards though.

Matt 19:24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."




according to Romney's and your religion.....yes being rich is probably not a positive thing
