Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

How so? Because they're less rich?
No, it's their personalities and how they talk to and about people. Joe Biden is similarly easy to relate to.
 
I'll answer that. No, not because they are less rich. It's because they can and do relate better.

You're not saying how they relate better....

The way they speak? Look? Dress? Go on vacation? Have parties?
 
Those who run and have run for President of the United States have the material support necessary to not be required to be stay-at-home mothers. You are looking at incredibly small pickings, Enola. The pickings are so slim, that by this criteria, one would be hard-pressed to find many Presidents of the United States that you actually would vote for.

It's not just those small pickings, Fiddy. I'm just not debate material, so I speak little of this stuff. I'm just giving my opinion.

See my reply to Fiddy.

Biden only relates to the idiots in the country.
 
Really?

Michelle Obama’s Pricey Vacation Wardrobe - ABC News

For the Christmas Day church service at the Kaneohe Bay Marine Base, Mrs. Obama was photographed in a seemingly simple white sundress with red and yellow stripes. The dress, however, was by French-born, U.S.-based designer Sophie Theallet, and would have cost the first lady almost $2,000 when she bought it in 2009. More recent designs by Theallet sell for even more.

For the meet-and-greet with service members and their families in a nearby mess hall later in the day, Mrs. Obama dressed down — in a printed green $950 Comme des Garcons skirt with bag waist.

Whatever.
I don't debate. I give my opinion. Shrug.
 
I don't get it where some of you are indignant that I want to be able to relate to the person in the white house. Connect, so to speak. Those who are for the Romneys...are you not connecting to those you feel the same way about? Of course. So what is the difference?

I cannot relate to any of them ( i have absolutely no desire to lord over people, let alone an entire country).. I have no such delusions of grandeur, and I do not want, or seek, power and control.

I do not feel connected to any of them, even on a personal basis.... these politicians are opulent and extravagant, i'm just a simple dude... while they draw from the public coffers to live a life of relative luxury, I take my earned money and do things like .. fix my cars, build my houses, and tend to the work of my land.

while they have all excelled in the halls of academia ( and for just one, the private sector).. I just got by in college, and i made my bones the old fashioned way.. with dirty hands and lots of sweat.

nope, no way in hell I can relate to any of them... they are the very people I hold disdain for in life.... they are power seekers and destroyers of virtue... and they all lie and lie and lie and lie and lie... all while kissing your baby and begging/bribing you for a vote.


for what it's worth, I relate to politicians at the local level.. politicians who are actually accountable for their actions, words, and bearing.
 
Meh, that's not true at all so there's not much to debate on that.

Seriously? He's really nothing more than that idiot uncle or cousin who embarrasses the entire family every single reunion and wedding because he says something profoundly stupid.
 
Josie, it will be rare to find a Senator who is the chair of a leading policy committee to be an idiot. Both houses of Congress more or less defer to the committee's judgment.
 
Kinda like Bush did every time he opened his mouth.

The joke used to be that biden graduated 70th in his class at Syracuse-a class of 67 students

Syracuse costs about the same as the great law schools in NY, Columbia, Cornell and NYU,

he could afford Cornell or Columbia but didn't have the brains

he flunked the Delaware bar exam the first time he took it
 
It wasn't belittling. It's only belittling if you purposely take it out of the context of the conversation. Being stay at home mom, in and of itself, does not give someone knowledge that that working a professional job would with regards to economic issues. Period.

So do you discriminate against blue collar workers as well, or just stay at home moms? In terms of the 'knowledge' they have or do not have that is.

What a silly concept.

Yeah, I'm serious. First, a great many people relate to Biden, I know a lot of them and they aren't idiots. Second, Fiddy covered why Biden isn't an idiot quite simply. You've based your opinion on a limited, surface evaluation of the guy which will never lead anyone to a logical conclusion about anything.

Oh, I don't discriminate against either.
 
I want the First Lady to know what it's like to be me.

Of all the previous first ladies, which one is the most recent that you feel would know what it is like to be you?

Michelle.
Believe it or not, I didn't much care for her at first. She grew on me.

There are several ways to judge intelligence. The smartest guy I knew in college was a very poor public speaker. he was a grand master in chess who won "the brilliancy prize" in three US championships in a row and tied for first at the world open. His IQ was off the charts.

Now while I am not saying Bush is a guy with an IQ of 200, he is very smart and former Clinton white house counsel Lanny Davis (Yale Cum Laude, Yale Law school) noted that Bush was a genius when it came to understanding other people and getting along with others. As a pledge at his yale frat, after an evening with 50 or so other pledges, Bush was able to recall every single man's name and hometown. BTW he is smarter than Kerry

You were an affirmative action selection to two elite universities who then got a 200K salary bump because your hubby got elected to the senate and you now go one extravagant trips on the tax payers coin?

I didn't say he was not smart. However, every time he opened his mouth, I felt shame he was our President. Sorry. Just sayin'.

Sigh. Ok. Yeah. I guess. Wanna nitpick that too? Go ahead.

Everyone choose who they want to vote for due to how they relate to that person. I am not different. Choosing between Ann and Michelle..it would be Michelle.

I won't judge you but I have noted in the past that many leftwingers (not claiming you are) prefer a slick sounding liar over an honest person who doesn't speak with a silver tongue. How it sounds rather than what it says tends to appeal to the left
