"I don't know PhilDragoo. If you do, and it merits comment, go ahead and tell us. Out of twelve such yaghts, one was registered off-shore. Eleven were registered on-shore. Instead of the Left being able to so easily turn us against each other based on class warfare, I'd rather see them taken to task for their brazen hypocrisy."

This is exactly right, D1. This is what I was noting with pic of Lovey making the quote "I think it's ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn't even pay its taxes," said a woman who lives aboard a much smaller boat moored at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina.

'lives aboard ... much smaller boat' = 2 staterooms instead of 3. Which means this broad was a limo liberal, most likely the same bish that tipped ABC to the 'story'.

ABC assigned 4 journolists to this 'story', presumably to give one of tham -- Megan Chuchmach -- plenty of Twitter time to talk about ... her hair...lol

Anyone that is upset that a dude put a local flag on a boat docked in that port probably doesn’t like it when people dance in public, either.

I once bought a Mexican flag t-shirt on vacation and I wore it. In public. The humanity of it. My, God.

I once flew a Jamaican flag on a bass boat and drove it all down the Altamaha river. In plain view of everyone. Dear, God. What are we coming to??

I heard it from my local talk radio that it was a Bermuda Island flag. The flag has a turtle on it which makes it a Cayman Islands flag. I found out the boat is registered in George Town, which is in the Cayman Islands.

The Left will have a hissy fit that the rich run in such huge boats. They don’t think that the boat employs workers who built it and run it.

Yes, comrade, rich people are evil. We must confiscate their yachts and money.

I think the point is that by not buying the boat in the USA, he denied the jobs to create, to sell, to maintain, his yacht to Americans, but outsourced to a cheaper country.

Sometimes, especially when you are a millionaire, it’s nice to shop locally, even if it may be a little more expensive.

But a flag, oh man, that’s a real problem.

The American flag is the flag the Obmas see as a problem.

I know a guy who lives in an air-park in AZ that keeps his plane in Nevada because AZ property tax is too high. He has a house in an air-park but instead of a plane in the hanger he has cars...

His name must be Dirk Pitt.

IRS will hire 2719 new agents and spend 881 million to enforce twenty new taxes in Obamacare--for starters--the biggest tax hike in twenty years.

Mitt and Paul will repeal it. It must be repealed; Obama must go.

All the carping harpies and shrieking fairies will nitpick the shirts Ann Romney buys by the three-pack from Costco for Mitt--while our Republic is going to the bottom of the ocean.

Those of us who don’t support Romney, will still be cheering for Obama to go down. I don’t disagree with your comments here at all.

I think of Obama’s yacht as “the Good Ship LoliFlop”

“Which son of a foreigner: Obama or Romney?

What TF is your problem? You hate foreigners? Everyone here is the ‘son’ of a foreigner from some time in history.

What a scandal!

But Joe Biden giving, year after year, $368 to charity on an income of $250,000 while lecturing Republicans that they aren't generous enough, that's not worth reporting on ABC.

Obama's messenger-boy George Stuffynus carefully makes certain THAT story is buried.

That was kind of my point. If you check, the other person was bashing Obama for being, "the son of a foreigner."

Awaiting apology.

Where does the MSM find these f'n morons? Do they run adds in the paper?

Willard, a man of the people....

As opposed to ...uh....what?

What's your point? You trying to say that Romney is the only presidential candidate, GOP or other, that has been entertained by enormously rich fundraisers?

And if your argument is based on the yacht being registered in the Cayman Islands, since when have Conservatives been critical of anyone who can legally avoid the draconian taxes being leveled on the rich in this country?

Sounds to me like your grumbling is nothing more than envy based ......

Kid its no news to some o0f us that Willard is totally out of touch with most of the voters...

Honey, unless you've got a mouse in your apron pocket, you're the one who is now out of touch.
