1. I met one today, older man while I was waiting in a medical office

He announced to the waiting room that he was one of the 47% Romney despised, a career military man on his pension. Said he'd been a lifelong Republican, but not for Stupid, not for McCain once he chose a Barbie doll and certainly not now.

That waiting room was full of people who, while not part of the 47% themselves, not yet, had parents and/or grandparents who were.

Uh, people are furious about this. The Democrats need to make sure they don't forget it over the next 6 weeks.

I hear on Rev Sharpton's program a guy from Virginia say that in 1980 the 1 percent had 7 percent of the country's riches , now they have 25 percent.

Sickening...they feel so entitled.

are all sickened by Mitts words.

As long as we can keep hammering this issue, Obama's a shoe in.
