Darn, if that doesn’t pass as one of truly most ineffective slogans or defenses I’ve ever heard! What’s he paying these campaign sages for—fashion advice?
There’s no two ways about it... Willard is an imbecile.
Besides being a liberal, Romney is a ditz when speaking. Will be terrible debater, stutters, can’t make a point. These quotes of his about the rich and poor is an example of his poor abiity to speak and make sense. He has foot in mouth disorder.
Vastly better version: The Democrats are the party of the poor, and they want to make you poor so you are beholden to them.
actually its a pretty good answer. If you’re poor and want to be rich, GOP is the party for you because free market and low taxes increase job opportunities for everyone
Not Mitt’s finest hour, I’d have to agree. I get what he was trying to get across, but it didn’t really work, IMHO. The word “successful” instead of rich might have worked better here, given the Obama/MSM line of attack on Romney’s wealth. Now, I don’t think Romney made an epic gaffe along the lines of the crud Obama has been saying of late (and before), but I do think he missed an opportunity to sell himself to skeptical base voters.
The question is, what will see come convention time and the debates? Romney’s people and the GOP have made some smart moves in previous months, derailing a number of Obama’s re-election team’s lines of attack (remember “Dog Gate”?) Right now, though, it seems like Mitt has been on cruise control for a few weeks, much the way he was during many of the GOP primary debates. That’s not going to get it done. He’s competitive in all the battleground states right now, and he needs to capitalize on that. Voters know Obama is a failure, now give them a clear vision of why you’ll be better for them and the country, Mr. Romney.
How much money do you need to kick a ball on the grass with your daughter?
The GOP is more the party of people that want to be free.
“and by the way.”. Uses it all the time, very catchy.
Should be the party for people that want FREEDOM!
I’m not rich and I don’t want to be rich. Not that I would’t love to hit the jackpot, just don’t want to put in the 80-100 hour weeks at this point in my life... 50 hours seems to work well for us right now. Will probably do it when my kids grow up.
