That's not true. Mitt Romney is not a Joke Candidate. When I whatched
in the primaries debates Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich I often had to laugh, these
are real Joke Candidate. Mitt Romney is a poor looser, a type like
McGovern or Dukakis.

So you're saying that my family, which makes about $135,000 a year, is poor? You're saying that the President isn't supposed to care about seniors on Medicare and veterans on the VA? Is that what you're saying?

Would not be the first time a member of the Romney family helped the Democratic candidate in a presidential election.

Mitt Romney: ''No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less.'' (ABC's ''Good Morning America,'' Sept. 14, 2012)

He's already got a very similar view to what middle income includes as Chuck Schumer. He is saying that anything under $250,000 is the middle income that he is wanting to focus on. That includes the $100,000 that Stephanopolis mentioned, but doesn't make that the cap.

An example of his awkward campaigning. Not really that relevant to governing though.

His point was true initially that there are around 47 percent of the electorate that will be with the president. Its a remark on the polarization of our politics and the fact that he can only win in a close election. As for the dependent on government part, he was speaking to donors and was campaigning to them. I don't think it will damage him that much, nor do I think he really believes that.

As for it not being his "job to worry about those people", its not referring to him ignoring them as president, but saying that he's targeting the independents in this election and that he probably won't be breaking past 53% if he's going to win. Its a electoral commentary that is accurate, its just that his wording is awkward and has some red meat added on.

Once again, bad wording. It's obvious that his point was that if he wouldn't be running for office if he had done things like that purposely.

''I'm running for office for Pete's sake, we can't have illegals.''
—Mitt Romney, recalling his reaction when he learned that there were illegal aliens working the ground on his property, employed by a firm that he subsequently fired (October 2011)

Once again, bad wording. It's obvious that his point was that if he wouldn't be running for office if he had done things like that purposely.

That's not how it comes across as.  It comes across as if it weren't for the fact that he was running for office, he'd see no problem with hiring illegals.  Considering that the Mormon stance towards illegal immigration (as exemplified by the differences between Utah and Arizona in how to deal with them) is not anything like the hard line Romney took during the primaries for political purposes, it wouldn't be at all surprising if that is what he meant.

Well, this would totally confirm that to get what you want, you gotta be a douchebag. I guess the same rules that apply to pick ups and business also apply to democracy...and despite Romney's apparently poor peoplin' skills, I would say from Election Night on that if I were Mitt Romney, I could go out on the town and get laid by someone new every night!

Is it ironic that you're attacking Romney for using a smaller definition of the middle class than the Democrats and you're ?

Not exactly sure; I'm not up on the income ranges of people in New York State. Is this about Cuomo?

Middle class income is believed to be between US $20,000/US $25,000 to $65,000/100,000 per year approximately. In some of the expensive cities, people earning up to $70,000 per year would also be included in the middle class bracket.


135000/2 = 67500 so Alfred is high middle class and I think the problem is not the definition of middle class and the problem with those who need government support not being supported being a possibility if Romney is elected.

and Romney is wrong in everything under 200,000 is middle class.

I can't see him winning. The GOP is finished if he loses its a dying party. these days its "Cooler to be a liberal" in social media. than movies the main protagonist is always Liberal and the antagonist is always a rich conservative dude (Chris Cooper in The Muppets)

Yes, but the conservatives I've talked to (its a good experience) think that they are just idealists, and that trickle down and such are the right solutions to these problems. I think that he probably won't win, but the GOP is not a dying party because there is nothing to replace it. If we become 1 party would be another problem, and maybe not any better.

The Party (see what I did there?) isn't going to collapse just because they have a sh**tty candidate. They didn't collapse in the 30s. The Dems didn't collapse in the 80s. It'll live on, an endless incarnation of the evil in everyone's hearts. As long as there is evil, there will be Republicans. And Joe Lieberman.

The GOP is finished if he wins. Him losing is the best thing that could happen to the long term relevance of the GOP.
