Mitt Romney is making a concerted effort to wear "casual" clothes like jeans and polo shirts. His attempt to blend in and attract the middle class voters is laughable. Somehow there is just a little too much starch in that polo shirt Mitt.
I am always mystified by voters that think that being a God-fearing servant equates to plain old American values. This country was originally settled by people that lived in harmony with their environment. It was later settled by IMMIGRANTS that were escaping some sort of religious or economic oppression. The colonists then enslaved people from Africa and stole the land from the original inhabitants in the name of financial success. We then put many other immigrants in sweat shops and further built our way to a World superpower on the backs of our economic poor.
Today's poor and middle class may not work in sweat shops anymore, but we still make everything happen in this country. The 20th century saw massive reform in civil rights and labor reform but I am afraid that now the reform is going to stop in the name of Christianity. Many people equate being a good christian to being a Republican.
Good people of America, being a good person isn't always being a Christian. There are many great people in the world that believe in a different religion or perhaps even love someone that also has a penis. Stop thinking that people like Mitt Romney care about the average Joe.
If we want this country to rise to the top again we need to stop being greedy. We learned that not everyone needs a McMansion in order to be a middle class family. We need to remember that a majority of the people are the working class and they need a fair shake in order to survive. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicaid, WIC, food stamps and Medicare were not suggestions of the Republican party. The minimum wage was fought for by those now-feared labor unions. These are ideas were primarily established by our "bleeding heart" Democrats to help level the playing field between the haves and the have-nots.
I don't believe that Mitt Romney truly cares about the economically disadvantaged. There is nothing in his demeanor or more-importantly his platform that shows any sympathy for the real people that are in trouble from the great recession. Don't drink the Jesus juice folks- please take this election seriously. Mitt Romney is the Man!
