They are unaware of any weaknesses and when exposed they just double down. That "makers and takers" nonsense is the same thing as the "saved and unsaved" talk you'll hear from Christian sects. It's like some will view a nonbeliever as someone that wants to do evil unrestrained. Someone to the left of Vlad the Impaler doesn't really want to see people do better, they want to take your hard earned money and get high all day. In the real world you have to accept that there are people that don't think like you. I'm guessing Romney never got that memo. <br /><br /><br /><br />Vic78Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-17909550680605733512012-09-18T10:04:37.484-05:002012-09-18T10:04:37.484-05:00I think I mentioned that I went to a rich kids'...I think I mentioned that I went to a rich kids' school before. I was one of the middle class kids who actually had to perform academically, unlike the rich. Yes--I've mentioned it, because I see the ire directed at Obama partially as a lingering resentment from preppies who resented people like him at their school making them look bad.<br /><br />Anyway, from the start I've felt like I knew Romney in some way. He has a huge house--compound--deep in the heart of darkest La Jolla, which, it so happens, is precisely the same place as the rich kids' school I attended. If my calculations are correct, we used to body surf either right in front of his house or a block or two away, on Marine St., after school.<br /><br />All the stuff Romney said are precisely the same things I heard from the vast majority of the rich kids at my school. Some said it gleefully, relishing how other people deserved their suffering, and some said it as if it was too bad, but there was nothing that could be done about it anyway.<br /><br />Romney not only represents his party, he represents his class. We do not need them.Billhttp://freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.com
