(23 posts)And Mike Rowe is speaking on behalf of Romney. WOW! I don't know why, but I was shocked. I always pegged Mike as someone who would actually support the working man.
He's seen most of the struggling Americans firsthand.

(5,813 posts)That awful 47 % comment on the now famous video released last week. (Can it only have been a week ago?? Seems like longer. LOL) I think that video did a LOT of damage to Mitt and it only confirmed what some of us already suspected.
Now what the Dems need to do is come out with a video and show both of those statements, side by side. And Ask the question, Which Mitt do you think you'll elect if you vote for him? The one who knew the cameras were rolling using a scripted statement? Or the guy who had no idea that there was a camera on him and he was talking to folks digging in their pockets to give him more money? The hypocrisy is dripping from his lips when he talks about helping the poor on that new ad. Makes me want to gag.
His comment that his policies will help the poor and middle class sounded pretty hollow and forced.
We've gotten an unscripted look at Mitt and we really do not like what we see.

(13,992 posts)many of my friends can no longer afford enough jet fuel to fly their families to Barbados for the weekend. And others have started eating domestic cavier -- DOMESTIC! Why, just the other day I was walking through my bedroom and picked up a sock. Me. Myself. Like a common field hand. It was horrible.
