Sure he helped his friend... the real question should be, will he help the American PEOPLE. Judging from his past actions the answer has to be... very, very unlikely.

Sorry I don't it was sent to me by a friend. but if snopes published it that my be a good place to start.

well like the saying goes the lesser of two evils. and we can't handle another 4 years of this one.

this hand out society has got to stop if we are every to be strong again.

whoever is voted in to run this thing needs to be held accountable

Come on folks wake up (stop drinking the political cool Aid). It does not matter who is in office. It is sad, but today politicians are not about "We the people"; they are about "Me the people"

Did you even read the entire story before making such a short sighted judgment?

Great article geman! I didn't know those things about him. If you could attribute those actions to anybody, just insert name, we should all admire them for the courage, integrity and depth of character. Is this guy perfect? NO, just ask him, I'm sure that he would tell you the same thing. But in many ways, I would hope that in the same situations that I could be more like Mitt. Like him or not .... it's hard to not respect him.

shBibilicious.I hit neg. by mistake sorry.I'll give ya plus later.

I helped him out

Thanks gman for not being afraid to post this. Sometimes I feel like we who don't agree with the lefts agend for our country let ourselves be bullied into silence. I know it happens at my work place. But were getting better and LOUDER all the time.

You may be right but right now this is the best system we have. And you should do everything you can to protect your right to vote. Look around you at other countries that don't have a thing to say about any aspect of their life. Not a pretty picture.

I would have said you are correct just a few years ago, but thanks to the internet we the people have a louder voice just look what happened in 2010. We just have to jeep on keeping on DEMAND BETTER! and eventually we will get better. ( The time to settle is over )
