(6,238 posts)I mean, a 10,000$ bet, really Mitt? That's insane. At least the others are in touch enough to hide their obscene worth a bit better. As Jon Stewart put it "Mitt isn't even middle class at the reunion of his Harvard business school" or something like that.

(8,994 posts)He's out there talking about asking minority communities if they want welfare or paychecks.
Do you really think that if Romney loses and Gingrich or Perry wins, that the following won't happen:
new tax cuts to reward jobs going overseas
cuts to the EPA
welfare cuts for the poor
the total end of unemployment extensions
more "emergency managers" usurping elected officials
cuts to OSHA workplace safety enforcement
drug testing for what few welfare recipients are left
cuts to Social Security and Medicare
etc etc etc?

(6,238 posts)I merely said the other GOP candidates are able to hide how out of touch they are better than Romney is. It's obvious they are all rich, but none of them offered a 10,000$ bet in the middle of a debate. Romney is one of the richest men to run for president in decades and it shows. He isn't able to hide how much of a plutocrat he is, the others are at least attempting to hide it behind right wing populism. Once again, I'm not say any of them are better than Romney, in fact some might even be worse than him, but he is simply more out of touch than the others. Not that they are in touch, but as I said they hide it better.
Oh, and we don't have to worry about Perry, thank God. He dropped out. I'm more worried about Santorum, I don't think I've ever seen such a hateful bigoted person running for the Presidency and that includes a campaign that had Michel fucking Bachman. I don't know what it is about Santorum, but he seems even slimier than they other social conservatives.

(6,238 posts)I'm not sure he will get the nomination anymore, since no one seems to like the guy. As I said above, Santorum is who I'm worried about. He is a hateful hateful person.
