The jokes write themselves...and so do the political ads.

I’m poor and I want the middle and upper class to prosper because that creates opportunity for me to prosper. Contrary to popular belief, not all us poor folks want government to take care of us.

An example. My neighbor who is much better off than I am says he would like to buy some of my scenic photography prints for his other house but can’t afford it right now because heat and electricity come first.

“at least we only have to see his crazy-eyed son lurking behind him for another 11 months”

I noticed that too, the one that could eat an apple through a picket fence. Creepy looking dude.

Hope the establishment types are happy with their man.

If they are, they want Obama to get another 4 years, and maybe they DO want that.

Mitt Romney will never be president. He hasn't a prayer of getting elected. The flips, the silver spoon, the shenanigans at Bain would be ingredients of Obama's utterly negative campaign, which would not be limited to facts. There are also five sons about to go into the Obama sausage grinder.

” - - - “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair , I’ll fix it. “

Well, well, well! Willy finally admits that he has no intention of reducing the size of “income re-distrbution” to the poor. Good ol’ “Safety Net” Willy.

Buckle up everybody, if Willy wins, the fix will be in to increase our safety net caused National Debt!

You know, if just for a little while, that’d make a great tagline.

"This is one reason why Romney will lose. He is far out of touch. But don’t worry, he’ll pull a McCain and by the end of the campaign he’ll be reassuring Republicans that Obama is a good man who will be a good President. You guys remember McCain doing that, right?"

Yes..that is when everyone realized he wasn't in it to win but to be a place-marker for the liberals. He threw the contest right then and there.

This is exactly what Romney is, a place-marker to make it look like the Country actually made a change. The entire process keeps the liberals in control and the people from rioting with pitchforks.

Willard will NEVER be the president of the US.

Look at how Canada has gone over the last eight years or so. There's no middle of the road party anymore. It's the Marxists against the Conservatives.

This middle of the road GOP game is coming to an end. What's in store for us.. God knows, but it would be very ironic if we went left while Canada has gone right. My bets are on Newt.

"I'm not concerned about the very poor...." Romney says

narrator; "Mitt Romney, capitalist industrial worth many millions is not concerned about the poor. His rich backers like Soros, Buffett, Gates, Peter Lewis... never mind about who... they are a nameless, faceless super rich mob..."

Yep, we know where those TV ads will go.

So then I woke up the day after the Florida primary, and wow, now we have class-warfare from BOTH sides.

Screw the rich. Screw the poor. The only people I care about are in the middle-class (says the man with $300 million dollars).

So what's going rate for my vote, Willard?

You can be a liberal and be a capitalist. See Soros, Buffett, Gates, Peter Lewis et al...

Leftists probably do like to fire people, non-government employees anyway

OMG, just wait until Willard starts explaining and defending Moronism...

The soundbites will write themselves.

My entire customer base last season was made up of retired government employees. No kidding, not one private sector person.

When are they goin to defy THE PREMISE of of these leading questions from the libtards in the media?

“There are lots of very poor Americans who are struggling who would say...”

Where in America is a poor person ‘struggling’? Our ‘safety net is a nice cozy hammock. ‘the Poor’ in the usa have a home, air conditioning, cars, two TV’s, food, clothing...and they get to sleep until noon and sit on their ass all day as long as they continue to vote Democrap.

Where are they ‘struggling’? It’s the middle class who is stuggling- TO PAY FOR ALL THIS

When are the stupid dummycraps going to realize all that power means nothing if you have a population of lazy do-nothings to lead? And when the rich take their toys and go play someplace else, who do you think ‘the poor’ are going to come looking for with the torches and pitchforks? THE GOVERNMENT who keeps promising them everything.

"It's really hard for me to believe after all his years of preparing to run for president, Willard hasn't learned how to speak intelligently to reporters."

He's an arrogant, pampered-silly limousine-liberal trying to act like a conservative servant. It's a difficult act to pull off without the right discipline.

That said, it's expected that Harvard, the US 'Commanders in Cellophane' manufacturers, should do a little better job training their bots.
