Thread: This Is Not A CraigsList Notice

a man must accept his station in life or change it. begrudging another mans success neither raises you up nor diminishes his achievements . i have worked with many people of wealth. i found that their day is normally 12 to 14 hrs long. do not confuse tv with reality .

The question is Romney the Man he's portrait to be? He did not become a millionaire he was born a millionaire!! I believe Japan holds alot of our debt.(China and Japan don't get along at all)could get ugly!! Pete

But you seem to be holding it against him that he inherited wealth. Is Romney the only guy out there who inherited wealth and leveraged that into more success in the business world? I think not! At least he wasn't some Trust Fund Baby who ran around the playboy circuit, squandering his money on who knows what. So the guy got a good grubstake from his family who were successful before him? Why does that matter a whit? Like Shine said well, to vote against a man because he's successful is ridiculous, IMO, and you seem to agree on that point.

I do think that we need to remember as we post anywhere in this forum that we do have the occasional grandson/granddaughter/niece/nephew that may wander in while visiting, and we need to be careful that we don't let the passions of our "discussions" drive the language we use, or the statements we make. We used to say "Keep it PG13", but after the language in some of the recent PG13 movies I'm not sure that's right!! In short, just like in every other post we need to watch our language and tone, and consider that ladies and children may be reading what we write. Just my $0.02.

It's not that I disagree with this point in chief. But Roger you seem to be consistently involved in off topic self serving posts. Last I knew there is one Admin and one Mod neither of which you are.So if you take um-bridge with a post,do like you always do and report it. Just like this post I felt I needed to get dragged into. Why am I posting this on the open forum??. Well I do think this was needed to be brought to the forefront. Roger,do think about what I am saying and reflect back on it. One other thing Roger.You do,like on this thread until now,get mad and take you bat and ball and leave the thread. Sure wish you would stop doing that. Your a member of this family as a member like the rest of us..............

Thanks,

Gary

You where right Roger about this topic on here. I originally said politics on a forum like this had no place,but now 62 pages long makes me wrong in my opinion. I'm saying that even through you titled the thread to take a swipe at me.

Hey!! Yes PG!! Not saying not to vote against because he is rich(they all are) Could he have been successful without all the money to start? He is really good at business or is it the people he hangs around with? What I think you are missing is who he is! Shine you above all should see this(you started a business and work hard and the wife work hard) what if your business did well(making money,good employees, the hole deal,)then Romney(corporations) open up shop down the street from you,you can't compete and close up(Thats America)When I moved here 20 some years ago 3 privately owned hardware stores were in business for 60 years plus within 10 mile radius. Home depot opened then Lowes,three hardware stores closed! Thats Romney thats corporate America all legal but sucks for people who put their heart and sole in there business!! Republicans and not small business friendly!! Pete

i compete every day but what i do not want is the idiot in office taking money from my family and redistributing it to some lazy clown who will not work. and that is exactly the agenda on the table in washington. . romney made his own . he did not inherit all his money. and by the way if the democrats get their way your kids will lose 55% of what you leave them. is that right ? you work all your life to build a future for your kids and the gov takes half of it away. i would suggest people read up on the new tax structure coming. it will drive more people to set on money rather than invest in new business . if given the choice of paying 14% on investment dividends or 39% of profit in a business which would you choose ? why would you invest and create new jobs ?

Bob-the same theory people try to apply to Obama because he is a lawyer and therefore doesn't understand the economy vs Romney who is a businessman.You don't go through 4 yrs of being in the office of president and being surrounded by the best and brightest and not have anything rub off on you to know about the economy.

It is a rare commodity to be able to speak to a president of a company in one moment and the next moment be able to speak to that companies workers and understand both. Obama has that talent and Romney has to have a adviser close by so he doesn't screw up. The most recent tape of his real views is telling. The fact is he would treat me,a retired person, like a employee of his that he is trying to be rid of's pension.

History is truth.The Republicans hasn't had anyone good in that office for 10's of yrs and given Romney's background or lack there of,change for the sake of change,is just bad logic.

There is one other thing to consider about Obama. He showed great courage, that most Presidents haven't had, at high aleast political risk,sending in the Seal Team like he did. Why??. He was representing all the American people.

Yet now,he is showing great restraint with the recent killing,not to get us snarled into another war. That defines leadership.

One of the first things this dunderhead did when he took office was to remove the American flag from the tail of Air Force 1. That's all I need to know about him. Remember the early days of his press conferences? Not one American flag behind him, only some stupid "change" flags. Remember his refusal to wear an American flag pin on his lapel like everyone else? I think we're seeing him more frequently in rolled-up shirt sleeves so that he doesn't have to wear that pin. He looks to me more like a lower-management guy than the President of the United States.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't want some non-American in the Oval Office. This man hates America. His frumpy wife hates America. He is not my president. She is not my first lady. These people are all about CHANGING AMERICA. I don't think America needs changing. The founding fathers set it up to work for everyone, but these guys want to take us back to unarmed serfdom. You guys who haven't read the Obamacare legislation really should take the time to educate yourselves. The disarming of American citizens is in there. Is that what you want? You want to be standin' there with nothing in your hand when the troops bust down your front door to search your home? Well, just keep votin' for those Democrats and that's where it's headed. Big money wants you to be a fully-controlled serf with no rights and no way to fight back. All of these candidates have to take the "One World Government" pledge or they wouldn't get the backing and support to become elected.

This guy makes Harry Truman look like a Republican.

I am of the opinion that neither of them should be President. What would be best for the Republic would be the election of all new and fresh patriot independents in the Oval Office and in Congress. Anything this side of that scenario will be unacceptable to me.

his goal has been to disarm us from day one. tech , i agree with you 100% . but at the moment getting rid of obama is job one. i would vote for george wallace over obama. anyone , i voted mcain in 08. i would vote for anything other than obama and take my chances.

To take away a private citizen's legal weapon against our military really wouldn't matter all that much with all due respect Richard. And certainly that isn't what I would want to see either. The right to bear arms our for fathers wrote about was during a time when it did matter.
The last paragraph you wrote,I'm with you 150%. The time has long past when we need people who have a interest in the country and it's people first.

Against our military???? This isn't about being armed against our military. It's about being armed against the tyranny and oppression of an out-of-control government that is controlled by big money. It's about resisting being reduced to an unarmed serf who is forced to hunker down to an armed master. During WWII, the Japanese decided against an invasion of mainland U.S. They envisioned "a gun behind every tree" and that's the way it has to be for a people to be free.

Gary, I'm almost speechless. I'm shocked for sure at this statement. Are you of the opinion that it doesn't matter today???? If that's the case, then there is little hope for you and others who think like you. Freedom requires constant vigil by concerned citizens who view themselves as patriots. It isn't free today any more than it was 200 years ago.
