Poll: Does Mitt Romney’s Wealth Help Him as a Presidential Candidate?

Republican’s Easter vacation in La Jolla sparked renewed debate over his show of affluence.

Mitt Romney and family played in the surf near their La Jolla home over the Easter weekend, prompting renewed scrutiny of his wealthy lifestyle. On Monday, the Obama administration signaled that Romney's 13.9 percent tax bracket in 2010 would become a 2012 issue. The president’s campaign also is making an issue of Romney's Swiss bank account. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois has been quoted as saying:“When is the last time a presidential candidate for the United States had a Swiss bank account? I think the answer is never.” Does Romney's wealth help or hurt him as a presidential candidate?

Of course women don't have the same standing as men, they don't have the same hardware either. ButRead More they do have considerably more responsibility in our society. They are the ones who have the responsibilty and the honor of bringing new life into the world. And caring for and nurturing the babies and small children. Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!
