Default Newt surges, as Romney faces offshore tax haven news
One sure way to get the press to go after you, is, when you are thought to be worth a quarter of a billion dollars and running for President for five years, refuse to release your income tax forms, say you are "unemployed just like you" to people unemployed and starving on the campaign trail, and describe $375,000 in speaking fees as "not much income".

Although it is not apparent on his financial disclosure form, Mitt Romney has millions of dollars of his personal wealth in investment funds set up in the Cayman Islands, a notorious Caribbean tax haven.
Newt - yes, Newt Gingrich - surging in South Carolina. Election in 3 days.

Gawd, I LOVE politics

Default Wait, there's more
Thursday night is another GOP Debate, on CNN. Last debate before Saturday's election.

ABC will be release clips during the day, then airing on Nightline, a new interview with Gingrich's second wife, describing in detail how he abandoned her for the affair with the intern, Calista. No new information, just going over all of it again, in detail, in public.

Wow. Powerful people really, really want Mittens the 1% as president.

Perry's overt stupidity (along with the dumb twins Bachmann and Palin) are typical examples of the reactionary, out of touch idiots that the Republicans have to offer this time around.

A policy of DON'T along with a chorus of IQ's below 90 does not account for much.

If Perry endorses Romney it is all but over. The big question is if Paul pulls out and decides to go independent. If that happens Obama wins in a hand-ride.

Don't confuse me with facts...i watch Faux news for the real story...the 99% don't have rich relatives, moot question..

Mittster is for abortion, war, the fed, bankers, big pharma, big oil, Mossad, ChiComs, one world government, military-industrial complex, forced vaccinations.

He's a hatesicle. America loves phallic objects. Suck it up, fatties!
