Do you really want to vote for a Billionair? Somebody who hasn't a clue what it's like to come up with the money to pay the disconnect notice for the electric bill? We keep electing Lawyers and Billionairs to serve over us and we wonder why we don't like our laws and policies coming out of Washington.

Why do we line up behind the CEO's and billionair Lawyers and wonder why they can't understand the comman man or woman?

What ever happened to "We the people"? Is there a candidate out there that isn't a silver spoon, Harvard Lawyer, been rich all of his life kind of a guy?

No wonder we're unhappy year after year. "We the People" have the power if we just knew it.

it would scare them to death!

Yes, I would vote for a successful businessman especially now when the economy is headed downhill.  Romney was not handed his success on a silver platter.  Who would you vote for?  A failure?

He was born on a Silver Platter.

He is a successful man and the kind we are going to need.  Many people are born on a silver platter (if he was) and make nothing of their lives.

Obviously this isn’t directed at you. There are always Billionaires and friends of Billionaires who think they do no wrong because they have monetary reasons to scratch each other’s back.  The same as Lawyers supporting  Lawyers.  This is an issue for those who aren’t billionaires or friends of billionaires or have reasons to support the CEO types.

Support a failure?  No?  But it doesn’t mean I want to hire the King either. I guess you grade success in life by money?

What?  I'm looking at the success he has made out of his life and his business ventures and the incredible success of the the olympics and his intelligence.  I think that he just maybe could do the same for this country and the people in it.  He hasn't only achieved success financially but in his personal life also.

I look at where he stands on issues not how much money he has made.

I guess Sam Walton or Bill Gates would be a better choice?

Think more like Ted Turner. He'll have the presidency and be a media tycoon to boot if he acquires Clear Channel like he wants...what the hell, in light of the primaries, he's garnering my respect more everyday. But ideally, I'd like to see a Constitutional Amendment that bans the President, Supreme Court judges, and Congress (men and women) from being involved in CFR type organizations...BAD influence.

I don't care how much money a candidate has got as long as he's Conservative in principles and practice.  The other side of that coin is that money can't buy conviction.  No amount of money in the world is going to give a candidate the conviction he needs to stay strong on the issues and not waver.

I sure hope his being a big family man will help solidify those convictions in a Pro American way.

Now the Billionaire Banker says Michigan is "do or die".I wonder just how many "Investment Bankers" really have a "buy American first" stock portfolio.
