UNCOVERED: Inside the Home of the Private Romney Family
Ours is a factual story that provides a rare glimpse and insight into the real Mitt Romney. Does he really relate to the average American? As President, would he impose his beliefs on others? Is he really Christian?

I'm not sure how much insight we could get into the character of the man by buying one of his houses.
Which of his houses is that? Is it the one that cost twelve million dollars and has an elevator for his cars, or is it another more folksy and down-to-earth house? Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Did you read the article? Yes. Someone who bought one of Romney's houses thinks that he's a nice guy. Something about that article stinks to me --- actually reading it over it's a huge honking lie, isn't it? --- but I can perfectly well believe that it has a grain of truth in it and that someone who bought one of Romney's houses does indeed think that he's a nice guy.

Who the heck sells their picture of Jesus with their house? And America wants to know: is it the Blond, Blue-Eyed Jesus Picture or an Aramaic rabbi picture? Did the picture's eyes follow the Romneys around their bedroom to see if they ever removed their Magic Underwear?
I wonder if our current pres has sold any houses to people who will Tell All?

A member of the 1% thinks another member of the 1% is a nice guy and this is relevant somehow?

Check out the comments below the article. That's how you are supposed to react to this "Inside the Home" article.

Doesn't it say even more about him that this is the home he left behind?
Perhaps the article best explains why Romney found the old house inadequate:

OK - so the family's ski house was folksy & warm. Oh, & it had a picture of Jesus. It's obvious this wasn't a home for the Romney clan, full time.
By the time Mittens & his brood bought this place the kids were grown & having families of their own. Selling it 10 years later w/ contents was an easy out, not a sacrifice. He screwed the pooch on foreign policy this week. Nice background story to try & humanize him, but he's still a clueless millionaire as far as regular Americans are concerned.

What's the point? That the Romenys once owned a starter house that wasn't the 12 million dollar estate that is now his beach house? A beach house with a garage that dwarfs the size of a house most regular folks live in?

Did you read the article? Yeah, but think about it. As I said, that's one of his houses. That's his skiing home. It's not his actual home. That's the house that he bought so that he could leave it empty for 50 weeks in the year but so that when he wanted to take his kids skiing, he'd have somewhere to stay. And then we're told what a humble ordinary guy he is that it looks much like the home that a middle-class family would spend a lifetime paying off the mortgage on? We should think he understands what it's like to be an ordinary American because he bought as a rich man's toy what the rest of us would consider a necessity --- or an unattainable aspiration?

This report is being mentioned on several blogs:

He displayed a high degree of disgust for nearly half of his fellow citizens, lumping all Obama voters into a mass of shiftless moochers who don't contribute much, if anything, to society, And guess what? so do the rest of the conservatives that will vote for him and most likely, so do ALL of the people at that dinner. This coming out will do nothing at all to disenfranchise anyone not already disenfranchised by him and it will strengthen the bond with those already bonded with him."Science is interesting, and if you don't agree you can fuck off." -Dawkins

It won't help him with the independents, and that's the support he needs right now.
