Just because you wear plaid shirts and you rustle your hair does NOT make you in touch with anyone other than the top 5%. I am quite certain no one buys your "WE" bogus when you are talking about the middle class.
Sincerely,
someone who's IN the middle class

Perhaps he is trying to find the right 'touch' to fix the problem.

I think he's actually so out of touch that he thinks he can just say "I'm in touch!" and everyone will believe him.

Anyway, my reply to Mitt's "I'm in touch" is: car elevator.

He is the creepiest, phony prick used car salesman I have ever set eyes on. The last time I met somebody that gave me his vibe the guy ended up being arrested for molesting children.

I often think the man lives in a bubble and is left scratching his head when people get annoyed by his wife's "couple of Cadillacs, horse in every port" remarks. They say the uber wealthy have very little compassion and empathy for people outside of their little wealthy world.

Says the guy whose key to being a southerner is that he likes cheesy grits and repeatedly says y'all a lot.

Says the guy who claims some of his best friends are NASCAR team owners.

Says the guy who told Michigan auto workers that his wife "owns a couple of Cadillacs."

Says the guy who made his fortune firing hundreds of thousands of people.

Yeah right. Mitt Romney is the very textbook definition of the wealthy elitist that the GOP claims they hate. There is no one more out of touch with reality than that man is.
