Ya know? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Something hidden is behind this amnesty push by so many in the GOP. As to the surface, these guys need to learn to stop trying to get the media to like them. Will never happen. Do we need a fund drive to buy a copy of "The Prince" for every Republican in office? War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Let's see if they're gonna be equally fixated on the Clintons' wealth. *Nah, who am I kidding?? Boron Boron Boron rhymes with moron, moron, moron |

You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government," Joe Biden in 2010. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Romney's wealth was estimated at the time to be between $165 and $210 million. He gave 14% of his income to charity, mostly to the Mormons and had a small Tyler foundation paying out $650K in 2011. The Clinton's net worth is estimated to be between $65 - $80 million. We don't know what the charitable portion is of Hilary's returns; we will find out. But helping the Clintons substantially and will make them immune is the Clinton Foundation which provides about 80 - 120 million / year of aid via its operations overseas and the school program in America which of course service Romney's 47%. If Clinton makes a dumb statement during the campaign (not now, way too early for anyone to notice) regarding the poor like Romney did, she can just point to the work the Foundation does, and I am guessing that the charitable portion of Hilary's returns will be very substantial (if she is shrewd, which she clearly is). |

I doubt it will be. She is generous only with other people's money. When she was running for the Senate in NY she was so cheap she stiffed a diner waitress on a tip. BTW: It isn't Romney's 47%, the Romney supporters work for a living. The 47% belongs to the Democrat Party. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

She described herself as "dead broke" when she left the White House and complained about the mortgages on her houses. (Notice that's plural) You're right, she's not rich. *FACEPALM* Boron Boron Boron rhymes with moron, moron, moron |

The best part is Romney made his wealth creating even more wealth for others while the Clintons have not created much wealth for anyone but themselves, yet somehow the Clintons will be portrayed as more "pure" by the media. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | I know why Cantor lost and I haven't heard anybody say this. If I was in that district and was a Cantor fan, I wouldn't have voted because I would just assume it was a slam dunk for him. He won 6 times in the past and was majority leader, he was a shoe in. How many felt that way, we'll never know. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
