@Hillbilly
FNC has three shows in the top 25.
That is impressive for a cable news station for sure
—————————
FNC had 12 of the top 25 doing the RNC convention. To lazy to get the link.
C’ya
@ Yes you do have to consider the audience, this is how Romney talks to other “elites” behind 47% of the US populations back. I guess we should not care because it was a room full of “job creators” right and they should be worshipped no matter what they do and say
Do you really think Obama talks to his investors the same way he talks in public?? come On!!!!
@I deal with the lenders every day and it has become a huge issue getting these loans finalized. The amount of hoop jumping all the way to closing is incredible. They are asking for identification now from the Real Estate Agents or they won’t approve the loan…..
Sounds more like failure to complete your job properly, and not simply following instructions.
Asking for ID’s to approve a loan, yeah that’s a BIG hoop alright!
Duh!

Probably. Just as the Left might not be fan of a guy taking money from the top 1%, big business or Wall Street…
@coffee Steve re: 500 to coast.
Have not heard anything about that!

@d.d. Any particular reason you single Jay Z out, you have some pretty foul mouthed folks on the right, like Clint Eastwood for example….Gran Torino, since he played the bigoted role and directed it, so I suppose he has the same responsibility as Jay Z as an artists.
I won’t c/p the low level of racist and awful lines Eastwood said in the film as you did with the lyrics in a Rap song.
That sword cuts both ways.

thank you Jeff! You have just verified to me that you have not done a transaction in a long long time!! If you have you too would be complaining about the lenders, underwriters, and appraisers!!
They have complicated transaction so much and it is everywhere! sorry for your lack of business.
Even from the left I have to echo other’s points of view. Within the context of the event I think the “my job” portion of the quote refers to his job as a candidate.
Do I suspect Romney personally feels this way about the 47%, that they are not his primary concern, yes. But that is my own guess and that and $4.08 cents will get me a gallon of gas and nothing more.
It seems this guy finds the Romney’s real feelings of ” I don’t care about 47% of Americans “comment as a stupid moment.
SCOTT BROWN SHUNS ROMNEY’S ’47 PERCENT’ COMMENTS | Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) is dissociating himself from Mitt Romney’s comments about the “47 percent” who he says “believe that they are victims.” In a statement to The Hill, Brown said, “That’s not the way I view the world.” Brown is following the lead of another Republican vying for the Senate in a heavily Democratic area, Linda McMahon. Like McMahon and Romney, however, Brown does not believe in raising taxes on the wealthy, and argues that Obama is increasing Americans’ dependency on government.
He must not watch Fox.
Wow. FNC lost the Monday primetime average in the demo.
@thank you Jeff! You have just verified to me that you have not done a transaction in a long long time!!
Oh yes totally verified, just like your right wing website c/p comments, oops!
LMAO!

You are just sloppy, sounds more like a personal problem to me.
