• After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney. As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people. Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way") would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others. Got your calculators handy? Let's recap. Volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year. Unpaid intern in Governor's office 8 years. Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years. Unpaid bishop and stake president for his church 10 years. No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years. No salary as MA governor 4 years. That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church. Why? Because that's the kind of man Mitt Romney is. And you know what? He’ll show you his: Un-doctored Birth Certificate! College transcripts! Law degree! Isn’t it time for a REAL CHANGE? A brighter HOPE for America. Forget downing the opposition raise up the new president-to-be the winner in November, 2012! Mitt Romney – American by birth!

• Compared to you fae, the two people you mention are geniuses. Rational Human is making you look very stupid every time you open you pie hole.

• I thought Mexican was the new "N" word. Truly you do have a point. He never got the attention he deserved. It's almost as if an unknown power that rules in the shadows gave him a pass to the white house. Clearly he isn't qualified for the position, but perhaps his agenda and this shadow government share some agenda that mindless Americans refuse to look too carefully at. Banning guns is a very high priority in any regime that wants to maintain control over the masses so that could be it. The shadow government is composed of people who consider themselves to be multinationals so American sovereignty is important to diminish. There may be other things they share in common but the two I mentioned are probably the highest in importance. Franklin and the rest of our founding fathers gave us a republic and it's up to us to keep it if we want freedom. Socialism is just another word for no freedoms left to lose. Naturally, under socialism, there cannot be any room for dissent.

• downtown, what position in the state do you hold that would give you a birds eye view of the effects of these tax cuts? The cuts are a good start in attracting businesses to come here. Only time will tell and the state of the economy in the near future. fae, infrastructure is an ongoing project that has never been able to keep up with the tremendous growth we've experienced in the past, but we are catching up lately. We are a pay as you go state, and we are balancing our budget. Putting more money into education is something I hear a lot. I hear we just don't put enough money into it and that is why we rank low in education amongst all other states. What I would ask you and anyone else who knows something about this matter is what is it that money can buy that our kids are lacking that would improve their education? More books? Computers? Sports equipment? The U.S. Department of Education shows Arizona with a 10.5 percent dropout rate, the nation’s highest. State lawmakers provide about $6,000 per student, about $2,000 less than the U.S. average; last, or close to it, in most surveys. Analysis also dings schools for spending more on administrators, maintenance, nurses and counselors than teachers and classroom supplies. State schools spend about 3 percent less on direct classroom instruction than the national average. On this point, the analysis ranked Arizona 46th out of 50. Class size is a problem for Arizona, which has the largest elementary school classes of any state, according to the analysis. Classes averaged 24.5 students, compared to Nebraska, which has the smallest at 17.5. Smaller classes means students can be monitored more closely. Some studies show that smaller classes of fewer than 20 students increased achievement but gains often were minor, so maybe that isn't so important to our problem. The average Arizona teacher made $42,905 in 2005, according to the most recent National Education Association survey. Connecticut paid the most at nearly $58,700 a year and South Dakota the least at around $34,000, so I don't really see that as the problem unless teachers are just refusing to put out any effort because they think they are underpaid. Test scores is where we really hurt. Based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a test given to a sampling of fourth- and eighth-graders in every state. In 2005, kids took reading and math exams; in 2002, writing exams. About 25 percent of Arizona students scored at grade level. The national average was around 30 percent. Only in eighth-grade math and reading did Arizona break out of the 10 states lowest in this analysis. Arizona’s white and wealthier students scored at the national average, low-income and minority students fell below. This ties back to cash: 42 percent of Arizona’s nearly 1 million students are poor. Research shows poor kids lag behind wealthier peers and do better in smaller classes with experienced teachers. Both cost money. It’s hard to blame immigration, but it is a factor. About 12.5 percent, or 125,000, of Arizona’s students live in migrant families. So, knowing these facts, where do you think our hard earned money should go that will bring our children up to the national average, which in my opinion is extremely low compared to the rest of the industrialized world. Some say Arizona lawmakers just don't value education, but they aren't stupid. They know a dumb people can't handle technical jobs that require skills that go beyond fast food restaurants and sweeping/moping floors. Personally, I think attendance is more important than any other factor. American children spend only around 180 days in school each year. That is less than half a year. What do they do the remainder of the year? Play. They are studying for their futures but given more time to goof off than actually study. Why do they get 3 months off for summer? When we were an agricultural nation with more than 90% living on family farms they needed that time off to help bring in the crops, but that time is long past, and now we need them for other things like engineering and scientific and many other technical jobs that require much more education. I think they should at least be putting in a 40 hour week at the high school level and it should be a full year each year. Teachers are paid for the entire year but still get much more time off than they should be getting. 2 or 3 weeks off for vacation is more than enough with holidays too. If this costs more and they do this, I would be in favor of raising taxes to cover any added costs.

• I'm beginning to see what you mean rational. This guy starts out calling the facts I presented as why we don't like Obummer as ranting and then goes on a idiotic rant the likes of which I haven't seen here except for maybe downtownrodent. Maybe he is the rodent.

• Mr Chiazza, as most of your kind fail to see, Obummer is a closet communist that has said many times his deepest desire is the destruction of America. Of course he says it in coded messages like he wants to fundamentally change America. President Obama was a member of a communist organization called "New Party" in 1995-1996. He was trained by Marxist Professors (his own words). He worked for Acorn and SEIU, both communist organizations. President Obama's mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party. President Obama's book was written by a communist (Bill Ayers) President Obama hired communist advisors. President Obama is a communist, and we don't want communism in America, but all you race baiters can see is that since he is part Black the White people of AZ must be racists.

• Great, once the Obamanation completes his socialist dream of demolishing capitalism once and for all, Americans will all be back to work on the collectives and life will be a workers paradise. I can hardly wait.

• Are you an American Rich? I know you have suggested that you were a Jew before. Would you say that Israel's use of force to acquire and keep lands they have no right to hasn't been very effective? The only problem that I can see is that not enough force was used.
