I’m not rich and I don’t want to be rich. Not that I would’t love to hit the jackpot, just don’t want to put in the 80-100 hour weeks at this point in my life... 50 hours seems to work well for us right now. Will probably do it when my kids grow up.

Dem for Bush has it right. “We’re the party of people who want to be successful”. Using word “rich” just makes people angry that they aren’t and he is.

I’m not a Romney-”basher.” He’s simply not the best candidate.

First off, why frame his response from an utterly inept Democrat mantra (party of the poor)? Why not rephrase, if we MUST use their descriptions of themselves, the response? The GOP’s the party of responsibility, of rugged AMERICAN inidividualism, of focused hard work, of success-driven, tax-paying, high-achievers. If the Democrats are the party of or for the poor, we’re the party whose taxes assure that the poor won’t starve, roads will be built, our children will be educated, our country will be defended. To be “rich” is the goal of lottery-ticket-buyers, not of Republicans. Or how about “Republicans like to MAKE their money, not to stand in line waiting for it.” Good grief, man, there are a thousand better messages than the one his incompetent staff (Schmidt!) chose for him.
