Huh? Romney’s phrase was taken out of context by the press, but at the same time, it’s true that he was sitting there busy dividing us up into “rich” “poor” and “middle,” and making it sound as if economic progress doesn’t benefit all people unless there is special government intervention, and also saying that the welfare system would catch the poor, instead of improving the economy so there would be fewer poor people.
But the main thing is that Romney has a tin ear, and this was what Gingrich was calling attention to. Believe me, this is the first of many blunders you will hear from Romney. He’s not quite as bad as Biden, but he’s going to be saying a lot of things that will give the press an absolute field day.
Both of them are unworthy of the conservative movement. The only question is who is less unworthy. I don’t know the answer to that question yet. I’m going to vote for whichever of them that wins the nomination, but if they win the election, I expect that I will spend the next 4 years trashing them as liberals. I don’t really want to be associated with the views of either of them. The only thing that can be said to the favor of either of them is that they are head and shoulders better than the Obamunists.
