Magic-Underwear Miltimillionairre Mitt!

WASHINGTON (May 11) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who made his fortune as a management consultant, is expected to report financial assets between $190 million and $250 million, an adviser said Friday.

Wow. Even I'm surprised at this. maybe there's something to this magic underwear stuff. Maybe it's magic-money-underwear!

Sooo... just how do you make a quarter-Billion as a "Management Consultant"

Okay, now that I got that excitement out of my system, I'm ready to comment.

I HAVE heard that some women who wear special underwear can earn quite a bit of money, but never as much as Mr. Romney!

The mormons are filthy...
and rich too!

Oh, maybe that should have been filthy rich.

On way or the other they seem to love money about all else.

It seems as if Mormons (and other abject heavy-conversion religions) have a great church support network. If a Mormon wants to start a business, other Mormons will help out, provide advice, assistance, connections, referrals, apply for positions, etc. I'm not saying it turns people into millionaires, but it certainly seems to be a great font of social support.

Romulusnr,
Jews do the exact same thing. Just substitute the word "jew" for "mormon" in your above post and then reread it. Except of course it is acceptable to accuse mormons of treating each other favourably above other people but you are a racist anti semite to point out the exact same behaviour in jews.
How else does a group that comprises less than 2.5% of the American population end up being over half of all our billionaires and owning four of the five largest entertainment outlets? This isn't speculation or conspiracy it is a cold hard fact availble for anyone to verify. Lots of groups have a sense of tribablism and help to promote one another but the jews and mormons seem to be the best at it.

AC,
Why am I paranoid for saying the exact same thing about jews that someone else said about mormons? Why the different reaction from you?

I don't know about paranoid, but you do seem to have a deep-seated hatred for the jews, beyond any other religion.
To me, they are the least intrusive of the abrahamic religions, at least in my own personal experience. Those I've known have kept their religious views private and weren't interested in converting anyone. Nor did they speak of zionism.

Hey, everybody does that.

Being good w/money & working hard at it? Maintaining a social network isn't illegal, you know.
That is, unless it's a Jewish network.
Woodrow Wilson said the same thing about Freemasons.

Actually Karen if you follow my posts you will see that I reserve most of my criticism for xianity. My problem is that jews seem to be the one religious group which is off limits for criticism and that we all buy into this conditioning while simulataneously bashing xians and muslims without apology.

KA I'm not aware that jewish social networking is against the law, nor should it be, yet you are saying that it is which is certainly news to me. Jews aren't the only ones who are good at working hard and being good with money (just ask my family) but I think we should all be uncomfortable when there is such a concentration of power and wealth with a religious group which makes up such a small percent of a population. Are you personally comfortable knowing that the LDS exerts such control in Utah as it does? Why shouldn't we also be concerned when 2.5% of our population has such gross overrepresentation in politics, media, and business? What makes jews so much more special than mormons?

Actually we do have our own "Promised Land" of San Francisco but we didn't steal it from anyone nor do we terrorise the straight population sharing it with us.

I'm just saying that for me, personally, there's less reason to criticize jews.
I don't feel they're off-limits.
I'm mostly critical of christians, cos that's my experience, and it's a continuing one. They're the ones who are a threat in this country, and that's what I'm most vocal about.

Sheesh, some people are just lost w/o emoticons.
That was a gibe.

Are you insinuating, perhaps, that we shouldn't let them rise to any sort of power at all? Regardless of personal effort & hard work?
That we should perhaps...be more discriminatory?

i like jews once they become atheist.i have no problem being called anti-semite as i freely admit to wanting all semites to convert to atheism.the best solution to jewish control of so much wealth is intermarriage.i have known good & bad jews.israeli jews are not like american,israeli are brave but rude american jew is polite but a little on the sissy side.

Go check out the forum on Sam Harriss' site or any of the European or Australian atheist sites and you will find that most Europeans and Australians have views very similar to mine concerning israel and jews while Americans trip all over themselves to avoid criticism of god's special people. Very, very, interesting that.

Actually, you whined about Jews getting special treatment (you always do) in an earlier thread, bitching about 'why don't gays get their own country? We suffered in the Holocaust too!'
Israel wasn't 'stolen', & the Palis are closer to terrorists.

No of course not.
All I ask is that people not be afraid to recognise the fact that one religious/ethnic group has accumulated power and influence which is thousands of times disproportinate to their representation in the population. It is no accident that the government of the USA often places the interests of israel above that of it's own citizens. People should be allowed to freely recognise and be critical of jewish influence in America in the same way that people are critical of mormon control and overrepresentation in the Rocky Mountain states.

Alex, what's the difference in your pointing out that Jews hold disproportionally more money, and a non-american commenting that USA holds disproportionally more power, wealth and resources then all other countries?


Like I said to a guy on another forum, wether Jews used social networking to amass fortune is not the cause to be pissed at them. It's the fact that we (Croatians - talking about our diaspora) didn't.

Same shit here.

Btw, as for Israel.... hate to be advocatus diaboli here, but would you go and check the percentage of Jews in neighbouring arab countries and vice versa? Yeah, figured as much.

So we only allow people to rise to power in accordance to their demographic status?
Sounds...fishy.

I do hope you're not referring to the Iraqi debacle. That was more about oil, & 'bringing in the sheep', & biblical 'prophecies'.
People should be allowed to freely recognise and be critical of jewish influence in America in the same way that people are critical of mormon control and overrepresentation in the Rocky Mountain states.

I'd like to hear your modest proposal to regulate this sort of thing.
That is, if it doesn't compromise any constitutional rights.
