Don’t hold your breath for them. :rolleyes:

Romney disclosed all of his Swiss accounts to the IRS. If he hadn’t, it would have been all over the news ages ago.

It’s dishonest and manipulative how many Democrat surrogates twist the story to one where having a Swiss account means hiding money, and it’s also very sad that people eat it up without exercising a little independent thought.

He was probably not aware a
Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR)

is required to be filed with the IRS and Romney filed his. So much for secret Swiss accounts.

The better question might be which party has more minorities and women in positions of power.

I saw a lot of ethnic diversity in positions of power at the RNC. Not so much at the DNC, yet. In fact, I can’t think of one rousing speech by a minority at the DNC that can beat Condoleeza Rice, Susannah Martinez, Marco Rubio and the others.

I’ll remember those speeches for a long time, not because of their talking points, but because the questions and issues they raised.

Is that the better question? As Al Sharpton, whom I’m sure you and many others on the Forum admire no end, pointed out, it’s not so much the token minorities and women that a political party may have in power, but what the party stands for and what it accomplishes for the vast majority of people, including minorities and women. Now, you may argue that the Republican Party has accomplished more for most people, including minorities and women, and I may disagree; but my point is that is, I believe, the better question.

Havard-
Why do you even think we are having this discussion. We are talking about a war of words, not of action or reality.

Bill C.-
We should vote for Barack because Bush made a mess.

I know, I know… but there are some liberal-minded posters here on CAF who I believe see past their side’s own spin.

I think the questions are interrelated to a minor extent. If you’re doing right by people, and they come to realize this, and are logical, they will want to join your team. People like Condi are examples of this.

I really respect Ms. Rice. I do hold some frustration in her role in the Bush administration and Iraq but she is an enormously capable woman and smarter than many on both sides of the fence.

If the GOP got her on their ticket as VP I personally believe that Romney would have won the presidency.

Hes going to win and win big. The Democrats know this-but they have to put on a good face so they can easing money. After Obama is defeated we will have to listen ad nauseam about what a racist country this is

Who do you think put these loopholes in place? Any “tax shelters” that are there were put there by the Congress and who elects those people? We do. You are putting the blame in the wrong place.

Exactly!

I somehow doubt that he also thinks that people using the mortgage interest credit are duping the system. But hey if they label someone “rich” they can get away with it.

Yes it is. Talk is cheap. A party can claim to be better for minorities, but unless it is shown, it’s just that. Talk.

The Democrats have some minorities convinced that their social programs are helping them, when the facts show that indeed the plight of minorities and the poor have gotten worse over the past 4 years.

The below is just so sad. There is no reason for anyone in this country to go hungry. People can’t even find their way to food pantries anymore.

WASHINGTON • Record numbers of U.S. households struggled at times to feed their families last year, according to a report Wednesday from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the state of hunger in America.

A lack of resources forced others to cut back on meals and disrupt their usual eating patterns, it says.
Click to expand...
A record 17.9 million U.S. households — 700,000 more than in 2010 — didn’t have enough food at all times last year to sustain active, healthy lives for all family members, according to the USDA.

This “food insecurity” affected a record 14.9 percent of U.S. households and more than 50 million people, about 1 in 6 U.S. residents.

Moreover, more than 1 in 3 “food insecure” households — 6.8 million — had “very low food security,” meaning that one or more family members cut back on eating last year because of a lack of either money or other access to food, according to the report. That’s an increase of 400,000 households over 2010.

After falling to 5.4 percent in 2010, the percentage of households with very low food security jumped to** 5.7 percent last year, matching the record levels in 2008 and 2009 at the height of the economic collapse, the USDA reported.**

The effect on children was significant. Nearly 9 million children lived in food-insecure households last year, and 845,000 were in households with very low food security.
Click to expand...
The findings in the annual USDA survey, “Household Food Security in the United States in 2011,” show that hunger is one of the most persistent and widespread aftereffects of the Great Recession, which claimed 8.7 million U.S. jobs.

Food insecurity rates were highest among households with children, those headed by single parents and those with black and Latino families.

(Bolding mine)

Our secular, “liberated” society has done nothing for the poor except enslave them in a cycle of poverty.

That’s why I think it was necessary for Obama to win in 2008.
