Comments on: Romney to take a swipe at Michelle Obama

People think Romney is bright, but he reminds me of the cartoon
charcter Goofy. Is he proud of all the scandals in the Bush
Administration? Does the "legalization" of torture make him
proud of his country? I'll bet it does! Any religion that believes
in the Doctrine of Infallibility – which is what the Mormon Leaders
receive, has a "huge" blind spot. He is almost as out of touch as
McSame.

Apparently John McCain is not as proud of you.....you were used and dumped for a trophy VP candidate. I guess John thought Sarah was prettier than you. Nice Mormon values, attacking an opponent's wife.

Bonnie,
you are right Michelle is a grown woman and so is Palin. Why can't we ask questions about Palin's qualifications without it being labeled sexist? According to you, she is a grown woman. If you don't want to play with the dogs, stay on the porch. By the way, the hypocricy of the republicans continue. We can talk about other people's families, but you can't talk about the republican party family.

Oh good grief! Sarah Palin's record, stated views, past views and not to mention a very current ethics violation investion...this woman has problems you can drive a Mack truck through. If the best the Rove style mud slingers can come up with is a poorly worded statement made by Michelle Obama – who isn't running for anything – well, it just hammer's home the point that four years of McCain would be no different than the last eight with Bush.

Give me a break. They have nothing better to do but smear people's family, while they want sympathy for all the mistakes they have made:

Cheating spouses BIG PROBLEM
Pregnant Teens (ok for suburban girls but down right dirty for urban girls)
Dirty Politics – Kill Clinton for a "Private Matter" b/n him and his wife but Bush lied to the American people and caused thousands of lives to be lost
Abuse of Power – Cheny, Palin, Bush, 1/2 the Alaskan government.

AND FOLKS have a problem w/ Obama
Stand up Guy for all, even you nasty repubs.
Wants America to be great for your kids, his kids and all else.
RESPECTS HIS WIFE.... That's all I need to say.

Obama needs to shut up. If he doesn't want Michelle to be the target of GOP attacks, then he and his hypocrite of a campaign staff need to stop talking about Cindy McCain's finances or houses. The rules never apply to Obama and his Hilter like tactics. McCain is the best choice for America. If OBAMA IS DISHING IT, THEN HE NEEDS TO TAKE IT. IF OBAMA CAN'T TAKE A BLOODY NOSE ONCE IN AWHILE, THEN PERHAPS HE SHOULD GO HOME AND CRAWL UNDER HIS BED!!

BUT I'VE SEEN ENOUGH OF MCCAIN"S BAD JUDGMENT AND THE REST OF YOU GRASPING AT STRAWS. AND I GUESS IT"S PRETTY EASY FOR YOU AND OTHERS OF US TO BE PROUD WHEN WE ARE TREATED WITHOUT PREDJUDICE AND LIVE IN SUCH EXTREME LUXURY BUT THAT"S ANOTHER ISSUE.

Obama said it right....McSame and his puppets just don't get it. They are clearly out of touch with the rest of America. That's why Romney was out of the race before it even started because he too doesn't get it. We'll just sit back and watch the Electoral Map turn BLUE!!!!

"If the liberal media can go after Sarah Palin's family, then Mitt Romney can make a subtle comment about Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama called America "a downright mean country" and said she was never proud of her country until her husband won some primaries. I think she's opened herself up to this. If she can't take it, then she should stay out of the fray." When did Sen. Obama go after Sarah Palin's Family? If you want to talk about her that fine, because you will have to give in account of that your self, but tell the true. Obama can not control the liberal media just as you can not control them.

They can attack Michelle Obama all they want.

Still doesn't explain why the republicans chose a Secessionist to the party ticket! You can't get any more anti- US government than that. Would she have sold Alaskan oil to the Russians, instead of the US, if she thought that's where the money was?

Do the hard core publicans have ANY idea how freaked out moderate female republicans like myself are right now? We've got some wack job who claims to have the gift of prophecy and a direct line to God, who told her to build a Great Pipeline. Probably told her to shoot animals two-by-two from that helicopter too.

Who cares about the kid – that's just something that can happen to anyone. Who cares about some ancient DUI charge, that wasn't her problem. Who even really cares about her throwing a hissy fit and trying to fire people at this point.

I've got this tinfoil hat wearing gunslinging fruitbat trying to find a way to enforce her *bizarre* religious beliefs on me. No, stay away from my body and the Constitution. Stay away *period*.

Unless McCain can come up with footage of Obama dressed as a black panther and tossing Molotovs at the local po-leese, there is NO way in hell I'm voting Republican this time. I'll vote Democrat.

Jeez Louise. Just when I thought this election couldn't get any weirder.

Well isn't Mit sticking with the party propaganda. We all love America sooooo much. He is an idiot and all the others like him are idiots too. We all love America and Americans you fool, it's the American goverment and leadership we hate. Maybe if you gave the goverment back to the citizens and took control away from global corporations and their lobbyists we would love you more. As it is now the only time the GOP loves me is on election day, after that they couldn't care less about me and my problems. I wish Mit would shut up, skip his stupid speech and go home.

Watch how he genuinely mimics an attack dog, all the while spewing untruths and half-truths that have become the Republican signature tactic!!

Watch as his hair defies the wind like the cardboard cutout he is often mistaken for!!

Palin's husband is as unpatriotic as you can get! He is part of a group that actually supported seceding from our country. If he truly loved America, he would never be a part of a group that would consider abandoning it.. How can we elect a ticket that includes this radical anti-american?! I love the USA and do not want to see anyone as disrepectful of our nation as Todd Palin in the White House. How could McCain do this to us?

What is pathetic is that democrats are exactly like republicans in their attacks but pretend not to be. If Michelle Obama said something so stupid I don't find it to be a big deal to repeat it. It is not a personal attack against her. For example they could ask why Michelle Obama was out making that comment rather than at home taking care of her girls like the media has been doing to Palin- that would be personal. Obama and his campaign can pretend to be above the fray because he has all the media outlets doing his attacks for him. He has had the past 18 mos to see them all kiss his butt so he plays Mr. Nice Guy when he is no different than any other politician. I am not a republican or a democrat but I really find it so pathetic how the democrats play victim all the time to the horrible republican attack machine. They are all the same.

It amazes me that Barack Obama took the high road on families and now you have the Republican smear machine on behalf of John McCain taking shots at Michelle Obama and rekindling something that she said 7 months ago, which people took out of context, and now this is ok? I was a Republican and yes, I voted for George Bush twice, but as a committed independent, I am now for Obama because at least the Democrats have tangible plans to resolve this countries problems.

Don't be naive, family is never off-limit in politics. Open your eyes and see how the mainstream media is taking on the Palin family, including a 17-year girl. On the other hand, Michelle's remark is an insult to all we proud americans. That is the REAL issue!
