FakeRomney: "I have lived on Main Street." (See YouTube Link)

Newt is gaining fast on Flipper Romney and might just take him down in FL. If that happens, it is largely because of what you will see on the short video clip below. Toward the end of the clip, Romney comes on and says "I've lived on Main Street." Yeah right Mr. Millionaire. Give us a frigging break. You are NOT in the middle class, you never have been, you don't understand us, and you never will.

The guy just can't help it. He looks and sounds FAKE, and that is because he is. Even some on the right are calling him "plastic." The guy is just a disingenuous PHONY.
I am a very strong Democrat so make no mistake. But in this one, just on presentation and delivery, and as AWFUL as his comments and policies are, Newt seems much more authentic than FLIPPER. And that is a huge part of the his appeal with the righties and why FLIPPER can't close the deal. They want a "real" red meat right winger and not a silly putty guy who so many of them perceive as a jello-bellied "RINO" elitist who keeps reinventing himself. And in a general election, if Flipper became the R nominee, we would attack him BRUTALLY as the silver spooned silver tongued 1%er PHONY that he damn well is. I hope Newt takes him down. I'd love us to run against Newt. But I'm fine running against FAKEBOY too. We'll kick either's ass when all is said and done.
