Mitt Romney's campaign is in trouble. With the growing revelations of Romney's involvement in Bain Capital's "pioneering efforts" in outsourcing American jobs, the significant discrepancies between Romney's story and the numerous SEC filings that contradict that story, his adamant insistence on secrecy about his own tax returns, his Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts that exist only to evade paying taxes to the very government he seeks to lead, and the glaring disconnect with the average working American that Romney exhibits at every campaign stop, some have already begun to wonder whether Romney will make it to the Republican convention. If in fact the heat gets to be too much for Mitt, who do you think the Republicans will choose in his place? Who will be the sacrificial lamb?

Jackie G - Poker Playing Pa... 2012/07/16 15:57:03None of the above+31Since we know that Obama and his crew have lied about Bain - why the hell would he step down? The rank gutter politics of Obama is sickening - he should step down.






















Bain Capital did invest in companies that outsourced under Romney's watch, according to analysis by FactCheck.org. However the Obama team is absurdly hypocritical for putting Romney on the defense on the issue of outsourcing because the president is a huge fan of General Electric and GE CEO Jefferey Immelt, who chairs Obama's council on Jobs and Competiveness.
Less than half of GE's workforce is employed in the United States. The corporation, which has 277 plants in 43 countries, employs about 300,000 people and only 131,000 are employed in the U.S. GE paid zero in federal income tax in 2010, according to The New York Times, keeping its profits overseas to avoid the IRS.
By the way, GE also received $24.9 million in Stimulus grants. Despite getting all that cash from U.S. taxpayers, GE decreased its U.S.-based employees by 18,000 in 2009, according to the company’s 2009 annual report.
One thing everyone can be assured of that if Obama and his minions say anything about anyone, they are lying. Proven by not one honest statement spoken by him and his minions since day one. Obam ahas been sending business out of this country for years now. Like all Democrats practice epidemically . Democrats do and then accuse others of doing, what they do. Liars to the core. So everytime Obama accuses someone of something, it is a sure bet it's something Obama always does.
maybe because they don't want to pay the fee or go through the necessary paperwork? I don't see where his own party is demanding it, but like I said It doesn't matter to me because they (both sides!) are playing a game of tennis; trying to see who can distract the majority of voters with ridiculously unimportant "issues" to avoid answering questions about the IMPORTANT ones.
the Obammy campaign,as some of their other lies have~! ......
It amazes me how people like you think that you even have a clue as to what is going on by watching TV and the brain washed media. It takes a little bit more of a high school education to figure out the complexities of our situation. In your case I see a 15 year old argumentative brat that loves the rush of being able to argue points that you have no clue as to what you are talking about. Unfortunately people like you vote based on propaganda and not reality and no I don't watch Fox........TV is an insult to ones mind.
The other candidates who ran earlier are all too conservative for this "moderate" block of delegates except Huntsman. Right now he says he is not even going to the convention. If Romney does withdraw, maybe he will come running back. Like Edward, the Duke of Windsor, sitting in Madrid waiting for his friend Hitler to conquer Britain and make him king, scuttling back to England after the Battle of Britain.
Out of this list, there is only one who is conservative enough to keep the conservatives from bolting to the Constitution Party and yet academic and intellectual enough for the moderate wing to accept, Condoleezza Rice, Stanford University professor and past president of Stanford, she is perfect.
There is someone else I would support who would appeal even more to the Romney delegates, Colin Powell.
