Shaken, not stirred!
Whether these guys were cranks, a left wing shills or shills for another GOP candidate, the answers they got out of Romney are quite telling as to the mindset of the man who wants to run America. Check it out:


 
in context:

“Of course they are,” Romney said. “Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to people. Where do you think it goes?”

Miffed? He did quite well with some unruly opponents. He let them speak, then answered them bluntly in spite of numerous interruptions. And he kept his cool. Imagine if The Omama got that kind of heckling.

Thanks for the video. My level of respect just went up for Romney. :)

FYI: He lied about Soc Sec and Medicare. Also, the last 30 years have shown corporations down sizing and outsourcing, and placing profit in off shore accounts. So Mitt either lied about corporate money going to the people or he's ignorant of what's really going on in the world.

And since no one here but you seems to have racial angst about Mitt being grilled, I'd say YOU have some personal issuses that you should get some therapy about.

In reality, it's been going to off shore accounts, outsourced to foreign nations and has been denied thousands of Americans who have been downsized and NOT rehired.

Ahhh, but then again you should have paid attention to his answers. Either Mitt is ignorant of what's going on or he's a bald faced liar, because his statements regarding Soc Sec and Medicare is just plain wrong, and since in the last 30 years we've seen downsizing, outsourcing and growing off shore accounts by corporations, his statement about corporate profit "...going to the people" is at best misleading...just ask the 99'ers or look at the revenue tax paid by (or NOT paid by) corporations like Mobil.

Looking nice in front of the camera means NOTHING if what you've got to say is just empty and incorrect rhetoric...as Mitt demonstrates so well.

Yeah. He is a better looking, more educated, richer, smarter, male Sarah Palin.

Personally, I hope the GOP does run the SOB, because once Mitt's record on how he made his millions and what type of health insurance policies did he enact for his state comes out, the heads of teabaggers, libertarians and neocons will explode! Can't wait!

Wrong. The offshore accounts are to avoid excessive taxation. In other words, money stays in people's pockets instead of stolen and wasted by the government.

Newsflash for you, bunky.....MAJOR CORPORATIONS IN THE USA HAVE AVOIDED PAYING THEIR FARE SHARE OF REVENUE TAXES FOR YEARS....IF THEY PAY ANY AT ALL.

For your education:


1) Exxon Mobil made $19 billion in profits in 2009. Exxon not only paid no federal income taxes, it actually received a $156 million rebate from the IRS, according to its SEC filings.

2) Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS last year, although it made $4.4 billion in profits and received a bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department of nearly $1 trillion.

3) Over the past five years, while General Electric made $26 billion in profits in the United States, it received a $4.1 billion refund from the IRS.

4) Chevron received a $19 million refund from the IRS last year after it made $10 billion in profits in 2009.

5) Boeing, which received a $30 billion contract from the Pentagon to build 179 airborne tankers, got a $124 million refund from the IRS last year.

6) Valero Energy, the 25th largest company in America with $68 billion in sales last year received a $157 million tax refund check from the IRS and, over the past three years, it received a $134 million tax break from the oil and gas manufacturing tax deduction.

7) Goldman Sachs in 2008 only paid 1.1 percent of its income in taxes even though it earned a profit of $2.3 billion and received an almost $800 billion from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury Department.

8) Citigroup last year made more than $4 billion in profits but paid no federal income taxes. It received a $2.5 trillion bailout from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury.

9) ConocoPhillips, the fifth largest oil company in the United States, made $16 billion in profits from 2007 through 2009, but received $451 million in tax breaks through the oil and gas manufacturing deduction.

10) Over the past five years, Carnival Cruise Lines made more than $11 billion in profits, but its federal income tax rate during those years was just 1.1 percent.

So, like your hero Romney, either YOU don't know WTF you're parroting, or you're a liar. And what's even worse is that I don't get guys like you, DY...because YOU sure as hell are not in Romney's tax bracket, and comparatively pay more taxes than he does, as YOU don't have access to the Bush tax cuts, the corporate tax breaks and tax loopholes that Romney has. Romney doesn't give a damn about YOU, DY, expect as fodder with the companies he's flipped for profit over the years. Grow the fuck up and deal with reality, DY.

Exactly. He's their stealth secret weapon. That's why they knock REAL TEA Party Conservatives like Rep. Bachmann and Gov. Perry.

Of course all I've seen is attacks based on lies and hate for Christians.

So are you stupidly advocating NO taxes for anyone, or just NO FAIR SHARE OF TAXES for rich folks and corporations only? Or are you just being stubborn to the point of insipidness in your defense of folks who essentially wipe their feet on you, DY?
 
Elect Perry 2012 said:
Governor Romney is the candidate preferred by the liberals.

What does that tell you?

Who told you that? Quite frankly, given the collection of clowns, zealots and losers the GOP are considering to run, their only hope is if the neocon/teabagger in Congress and the Senate succeed in crashing the economy totally before 2012 so they can blame it on Obama. Other than that, the Party of No will continue to follow the same script....and no Independent, Progressive, Liberal or Democrat is really all that concerned as to who gets the GOP nod.


Perry? Sorry, but America's already had a taste of evangelicals getting their way via gov't.....one of the reasons Obama got elected in the first place. Deal with it.
