Come On People! It was a lighthearted quip, a joke. Have we all no sense of humor.??
Personally I am beginning to think this man is the only one (candidate) who can stand the heat for the "Long Haul"...and what a long haul it is to be! As we tire of, get to know better and become disgusted with all these folks Mitt Romney is beginning to look like the only (decent/normal) politician I'd be willing to entrust with a position such as this. Time will tell but he's looking (figurative) better to this conservative born again Christian.

Ok Mitt-I agree....but I just can't understand how any Republican can even face the American people
now with any jokes. You ruined my country and you did it in 7 years.
You're the party who called Al Gore " OZONE MAN"

You're Idiots. Nothing you say is funny when our guys are getting killed in Iraq
and you really don't give a crap.

You LIB idiots are amazing. I chuckled at the headline, as anything from CNN is as certain to bash a republican as Fox will bash a Clinton. I suppose the morons at CNN think that's objective newswork - real pros, they are... But what I find so amazing and disgusting is the way the LIBS around here are so upset that a candidate might actually show his personality in a comment to make light of a stupid article and simultaneously show a little chivalry for his wife. Is it that you LIBS so hate a man for loving his wife instead of diddling interns? Is it that he was showing a human side on his campaign (instead of the Gore fiasco a while back or the current Hillary remake into a human which isn't working very well)? Is it that he made a comment which wasn't 'gender neutral' enough for you LIBS in such a ridiculously PC time (I notice lots of hate speech from you 'enlightlened' types, but I guess that doesn't count, because you are enlightened so you are allowed to be rude)??? Is it that you refuse to listen (I thought you people were the self proclaimed "open minded" ones) to any candidate with an "R" behind his name on issues so you have to focus on this snippet of non-news? Or is it that maybe, just maybe, Ann really is a more attractive woman than Bill, his highness??? Personally, I really don't care which spouse is most attractive, er, wife is prettier. But this discussionj about it sure brings out the hate you LIBS have for anyone and anything which isn't communist or Kum-Ba-Yah enough for ya... For example, I know your BP goes up when I write "LIBS" instead of 'oh-wonderful-enlightened-smart-thinkers-of-greatness' or some other nonsense about you... GEEZ, lighten up, go for a walk, smell the fresh air, and regain your sense of humor.

Hello!!-Mitt's comments were a joke. Too bad liberal Democrats don't have a sense of Humor-But when the American Public votes a 14% APPROVAL RATING OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED Congress I guess they have nothing to smile about–except maybe N.Y. issuing Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens–now that's something they can smile about...and of Course the General Betrayus Move ON AD!

So, I guess that Mitt was not supposed to answer the question about the Time Magazine cover? Your liberals are pathetic. You can't even read third-grade level English and understand it. No wonder you think that the Socialist Hillary would make a great President.

Why am I not suprised that CNN's site would have more liberals than conservatives posting?

Comment for Ruth, Fort Wayne, IN.

Many "mormons" think alike (excluding Senator Reid) so I can probably guess Romney's comments on the following topics you brought up Ruth.

Only men are priesthood holders, Elders are part of the priesthood, therefore no women can be Elders. Women leadership positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints involves three areas: The Relief Society, The Young Women program and The Primary program. On the Church wide level those positions are full time and extremely important. These positions are held at the congregation and Stake level as well, with literally a few million women holding important positions worldwide.

Yes, Africans and African Americans are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). There are several temples in Africa and hundreds of congregations. In the US, wherever you live you attend, there isn't a segregated group. Our congregation boundaries are geographic related, not racial or economic.

Warren Jeffs was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, when he was found to be against that Churches teachings. He and his father formed a church using a similar name calling it something like the Reformed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and carried on as if they weren't cut off and still were priesthood holders. They deceived many people and other willingly joined them. Their church is closed and I believe his father passed away and he is in jail.

Although highly publicized, polygamy and churches breaking off from the original church are rare. It is only that media outlets tend to hype these occurrences.

Brainwashed liberals spewing nonsensical psycobable. Programmed so well liberal propagandist in chief Michael Moore. Joseph Gobles would be envious being able to shape such vacuous grey matter....
One thing Republicans (ala Mitt Romney) can offer america, unlike liberals, is a sense of humor. And no, calling Dick Cheney Darth Vader isn't an example of humor. Sarcasm is the lowest form of with Hillary...

Interesting that you stoop so low. You liberals are amazing and extremely ignorant, its never about the issues its always about picking on the character of the person ....

A Democrat makes a joke and Democrats laugh. A Republican makes a joke and they act as if he is now not serious enough to be president.

Get a job, graduate from high school, and get off welfare because most of you Democrats are too stupid to be reading the news.

I have met Mr. Clinton at which time I refused to shake his hand because he disgraced his family, himself, the White House AND our country.
This man had yellow teeth, a red nose and ruddy red skin. The press has convinced all of you that he is charismatic. He is not...he is sleeeezy looking in person. ANYBODY is prettier than him, except for his ugly daughter and ugly FAT wife!

You petty (not "pretty")people disgust me.

Liberals sure don't have a sense of humor – but they never have. Actually, Bill is rather feminine looking. When I lived in Arkansas, a lot of people wondered just who he was interested in. Perhaps all his sexually abusive treatment of women is really a bit of a coverup. - Posted By Peg, Brookeland, Texas : September 16, 2007 12:45 am

I completely agree with you, Peg in Texas. Bill Clinton has severe psychological problems, as do all who sexually abuse and brutalize other human beings. It's a case of projecting onto others (and in males, it's a case of attempting to damage, destroy the feminine in a sort of "acting out" of jealousy, attempting to eradicate rivals, so to speak).

Leave it to Liberals and Bush Haters to miss the essence of the Romney comments. Is there ANYthing that Democrats do not respond to with a "Heil Clintons" response? Reason enough for me as a voter after reading these didactice, humorless and hateful comments by Liberals here, to never vote for a Clinton, either/or both. I've seen Mitt Romney's wife, and she IS "prettier" than Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is not -- by a mile -- anything approaching "pretty." In fact, I've always thought he was quite an ugly guy, since character shines through behind anyone's cosmetics, and Bill Clinton's character is very dark, very unattractive. For that matter, so is Hillary's.

This headline is ridiculous, this article is pointless, and the comments left by most of you are even more preposterous. To take a small wise crack like this and turn it into a point to bash a man’s wife by calling her names and ridiculing her looks, makes me have even less respect for most of you Hillary supporters. I guess it is better that a man not find his wife attractive and hook up with other women, such as the white house interns. I find the fact that Mitt actually likes his spouse and thinks she’s pretty to be a positive aspect. But then again, what else would I expect form “Billary” supporters, for you to actually have any morals???

I guess we should not be surprised that his comment is both sexist and shallow. He's a cardboard cut-out, and so is his wife.

I can't believe people don't realize it was a joke. Actually he could have joked about that with Bill Clinton.
But I guess it takes brains to get witty humor: something most democrats obviously lack.

What's interesting to me is that CNN (the Clinton News Network)chose to use a very bad picture of Ann Romney. She is a pretty lady, but they decided to make sure she wouldn't appear that way to illustrate their ludicrous article.

All one has to do is read the comments in this forum to see how astonishingly dumb and hateful so many lib/Dem sycophants are. A light hearted joke during which a man compliments his wife sends waves of dim bulb Demos into fits of laughter at how dumb the candidate is to use his wife's looks as a serious campaigning selling point – but the joke is not only ON them, it IS them, because how can anyone be so dense and dim as to take a lighthearted joke as a serious campaigning point? Get a life, get a brain, and while you're at it, get a heart as well – there's not a thing wrong with the way his wife looks. Poor little Demos are always screaming about how Republicans are such meanies, claiming everything they say is a personal attack, but it's all hypocrisy, you guys are always the first with the nastiest, meanest, most gratuitous personal insults.
