    Maybe Kid Rock, and Nugent can hold a concert during a no holds barred WWE pay per view event held by Vince McMahon..That could bring a buck or 2..Maybe those that would watch it would donate a buck a tooth or something..

    One debate is all we need. How much could that cost?

    Yes, and I doubt that there will be any criminal prosecutions of Obama's Chief Bundler Jon Corzine (where DID that customer's money go?) or the MF Global crowd during the reign of Eric Holder.

    I'm not interested in the little celebrity bundlers--Longoria, et al--I'm interested in the big bundlers.

    Could stay on topic, but I know it is an embarrasing subject for some of you...Obama is very popular amongst influential, elite entertainers..Brings in 15 million bucks at a single fundraiser held by George Clooney, one of the best actors in Hollywood today...Millions of people love Clooney and flock to his blockbuster movies...

    Meanwhile, Romney is simply hoping for just someone to like him...

    If your child is in a car wreck don't you want a physician with experience, or, are you the type who values superficial attractiveness?

    This nation needs a man who has handled tough companies not a community activist who has had four years and five thousand billion he experimented with and lost.

    This November America returns to experience.

    Vote for America's future, Vote Romney/Rubio, the team you can trust.

    Uh.. a company is not a country. , and Obama has done an excellent job considering the mess the G-Scrub's version of Reaganomics left it in.

    4 more years of Barack and 8 of Hillary..then... and MAYBE then.. the GOP will get another chance to screw it up. I'll be old enough by then where I won't give a poop...

    Romney has no presidential experience...and when he was head of the executive branch of Mass govt. his state rnaked 47th in job creation. No thanks. Romney only looks out for people like Romney... to hell with the rest of us peasants... he may as well hold us down and hack at our heads...

    What you don't understand Mr Naive (good handle) is that Hollywood types--by definition--will follow and raise funds for the Dem candidate. Generally, Hollywood and Repubs don't mix. Hasn't that sunk in?

    Obama's support for gay marriage changes the fundraising game. Mitt is in trouble. Gay couples have more disposible income to use for donations.

    Man you're ate up bad aren't you?

    Mitt Romney has more than enough money to beat this big eared squirrel.

    Do you really think anyone cares that Barbara Streisand gave money to Obama? Most of those people are as clueless about the real world as Obama and his cabinet.

    What a terrible waste of money when there are so many needy people. Right!

    I did not think anyone would listen to Oprah about books, but hey, I'm naive...

    Romney does not care about the needy ( there are programs in place for them, he says ), why should you care? Romeny won't do a damn thing for them..At least according to Romney..

    " I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I'll fix it," the Republican front-runner said Wednesday on CNN, following his victory in the Florida primary.

    ""Well you had to finish the sentence, Soledad," he replied. "I said 'I'm not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net but if it has holes in it, I will repair them.' The challenge right now -- we will hear from the Democrat party the plight of the poor. And there's no question it's not good being poor and we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But my campaign is focused on middle-income Americans."

    "We have a very ample safety net," said Romney. "And we can talk about whether it needs to be strengthened or whether there are holes in it. But we have food stamps, we have Medicaid, we have housing vouchers, we have programs to help the poor."

    First off that's absolutely false.

    How much money has Mitt Romney given to charity? How much does he continue to give? And you?

    He doesn't care about gay marriage. He's just using the gays. He says he's for it and the gays throw money at him. They'll figure out that he used them when they realize that he has no intention of doing anything about it because that of course would lose him the black and hispanic vote.

    He will be exposed for the fraud that he his and far too many will stay home on election day. Isn't it obvious after kicking of his campaign to a half empty hall. Only the die hard left is even remotely excited about Obama.

    Nah, I did not miss that at all...There are programs in place for the needy and if they need fixin, ( they haven't in what 50-60 years ), then Romeny will fix them ( like cutiing medicaid, planned parenthood, other programs for the poor )...Romney does not care about the needy...Not his focus...

    What is false, that I did not think people would listen to Oprah about books?? I didn't..


    Romney has to give millions to charity, that would eat into his pocket too much at his 15.4% tax rate...Romney protects millions with his kids trusts too...I think he used his kids as a 20+ million dollar shelter last year...If he releases his taxes we can see how " charatable and how much of a great dad he was again.."

    Romney has added 100's of millions to his portfolio because of this presidency..Instead of telling Obama to pack, he should be washing his feet and thanking him for his riches the last 3 years...
