As always you deliberately distort my message. You can disagree with Mitt’s politics. I certainly have. But to decide he is a “worthless POS” as a person, rather than simply taking issue with his political positions, is stupid and against all the evidence. And most of the people making those kinds of statements couldn’t begin to match Mitt’s personal qualifications, achievements, or the upright way in which he has lived his life. It just makes them feel less like losers in comparison to run him down.
Try another approach, something along the lines of:
“Wow, that did come off sort of elitist didn't it, I am so sorry”
See, the fact that wasn't your first response speaks volumes, the fact the initial sentence came out so easily, as if just part of a natural conversation, only adds to it.
The fact you are now flailing not over your own words but what the other poster said...
Well...

As my dear Ole' Pappy used to always say "quit while yer behind"...

Wow. You have done it again. This sound just like the time you said that you would bet that no FReepers had a “solid academic career” and were taken to task on it.
Now, none of us could begin to “match Mitt’s qualifications.”
Your elitism is showing.
