Duh, you may have cracked the secret of the missing returns. Romney was collecting unemployment from the state of Massachusetts. He works a year or so, then lives on interest while collecting his $800 a week from the government. These rich guys know how to squeeze every penny out of the system. He’s never been asked about receiving unemployment compensation. That would be a huge scandal. Hmmm. Would the names of those collecting unemployment be covered under Freedom of Information?

Millie,
Thank you for your support! I am hopeful that there will be a cure in 5-6 years.

Malia: I had no idea you had MS. I wish you well with the disease and will keep you in my thoughts.

Mormons in general seem to love the woo. Those crazy pyramid schemes with expensive oils and more-expensive vitamins are HUGE in Utah.

Poor Ann! Her life has been so hard, and sometimes reporters have asked her questions that were really none of their business.

I only hope that she can emotionally recover from the coming blow, when the people of America fail to elect her Princess of the White House, so she can tear out that awful vegetable garden Michelle put in, and put in a nice croquet lawn.

I have MS and Ann Romney is full of crap! She has never indicated what type of MS she has. I’ve never heard the term – either for relapsing MS or progressive MS – that it went into remission! I was diagnosed ten years ago (Mayo Clinic/Scottsdale) and the neurologist thought I had it quite awhile before it was diagnosed.

The type I have has no treatment at all. Many things can go wrong w/the disease and each patient seems to have different difficulties. You can go blind, lose total control of your bladder and bowel, lose your walking abilities, dropping things because the arms don’t work like they use to, experience memory lose and on and on. I’m thankful I’m not in a wheelchair but many others are! I have balance issues which make walking difficult and I expect that issue to ‘progress’ as time moves along.

Ann Romney has financial benefits that the majority of us w/the disease do not! I’m sure massage, physical therapy, swimming, etc. are helpful but they are not the cure all! There is no cure to the disease as can also be said about Parkinsons, Lou Gehrig’s disease and brain cancers.

The Romneys make the MS disease sound as though it is pretty trivial as long as Ann gets her rest and stays away from stress (which she’s not doing w/that husband of hers being constantly on the campaign trail for the last many years!). It’s much more harmful that that, trust me!

I don’t trust the Romneys at all and sincerely hope President Obama and VP Joe Biden are reelected in November!

Sorry, a correction. The total City Creek Center will cost about $5 Billion, not $1.5 Billion.

Oh yes, I suspect Mittens has short-changed his church just the way he has short-changed his country. By the way, the 10% is not for “charity”.

The church is so secretive about how it disperses it’s “tithing” money, I doubt anyone but the top 15 or so church authorities know for sure.

PERHAPS one or two percent actually go to those in need, but most is invested in real estate and buildings. Recently approximately $1.5 BILLION dollars have been invested in the City Creek Center shopping mall in Salt Lake City. Yes, what America needs is another shopping mall, not a soup kitchen or hospital!!!

But I digress. Of the 12 or 13 questions asked to receive a current “Temple Recommend” is “Do you pay your tithing to the church?” so this is the cost to maintain a membership in good standing.

At his pay grade, that would be quite a chunk of change! Uh-oh!
