In an effort to snag last-minute votes, Mr. Romney has a new ad out claiming that he does indeed “care” about the 47 percent of us who aren’t arrogant millionaires showing up in rolled up sleeved $500 shirts and denim. The downside is that we’re “them” to him. Another slam.
I’m in a swing state and am registered to vote but whistle-stop politics doesn’t work for me. I’m just awaiting my credentials and polling place.
I deal with mechanics, waiters working their way through college, supermarket checkers, dog walkers. They’re all working hard for low pay. I just don’t understand how a person who has always been wealthy can understand and care for half a nation who is retired, retired military or poor and in need of assistance.
Especially as he described half the nation as losers and victims. He can’t turn that around now. I’m an independent and keep an open mind. Open it, Mr. Romney. Show me your policies. I’m a policy wonk, sorry. It was my job once. Unless I see something concrete I’m in a bog and sinking fast. I look forward to seeing the ad and am sure it’ll be on the Today show because that’s when you always air to get the housewife vote. Cheers from Dee, the Feminist Homemaker

I may have already mentioned that my son has indirectly converted me into a South Park fan (hey, had to screen it with him & wound up appreciating their biting social commentary) – this year it once again appears to be a choice between a giant douche or a turd sandwich…
We agree again! At least I registered in this town to vote, which is more than most people do. Remind me to have Joe give you his CNN hat, which Anderson Cooper’s crew gave me years ago for letting them up on the roof to film sunset in Houston. When I delivered it, he simply said “I wish it said Fox.” It’s been on the rack, never worn, since then.
