These people - Romney and Ryan - live in a weird unreal alternative universe outside of the reality that is this country.
How dare they insult the people of this country repeatedly with their ignorance. They don't deserve to be in charge of this country - they are clueless.
Again: jms good post on WHY so many Americans are now in poverty, the deliberate theft and transfer of wealth over the past 50 years, is the base of all of this.
