Today, Mitt Romney is holding a series of fundraisers in the Hamptons, culminating with a huge event at the home of billionaire David Koch. The LA Time in on the scene and reporter Maeve Reston caught up with a donor on her way into one of the events.

The woman, who wouldn’t reveal her name, said the following:

I don’t think the common person is getting it…my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies — everybody who’s got the right to vote — they don’t understand what’s going on. I just think if you’re lower income — one, you’re not as educated, two, they don’t understand how it works, they don’t understand how the systems work, they don’t understand the impact.

The recommended contribution for the event she was attending was $25,000.

Now maybe that very nice rich lady who said that the lower orders are too stupid to understand that Obama is hurting them is donating to Romney because while she's doing well, she's truly concerned about the poor and for some reason thinks he'll be better for them. That makes her pathetically dumb herself, but at least her heart would be in the right place. But I'm going to take a wild shot and say that I would guess she's just another self-centered moron who thinks that Obama is ruining everything because he's taxing everyone too much --- especially her.

Begging for pitchforks, I'm telling you.
