Primary Clusterfuck 2012

[Yeti]

Serious question: wouldn't it be wise of Romney to just come out and say, "Yeah, I'm really wealthy. When I said a 'little' of my income comes from public speaking and it turned out to be 374k, I meant it was a little to me since I'm worth WAY MORE than that. I'm not going to pretend like I'm a person that makes 50k a year. If I was, I wouldn't be able to run for President. So let's just get that out of the way."

Is Romney pretending not to be very wealthy? I missed the speech where he said he was just an average guy of humble means.

I more love the fact that the other candidates act like making a fuckload of money is a bad thing. That's very liberal of them.

Also, South Carolinans are stupid

Yeah, but he's not even trying the GWB model of "millionaire you can have a beer with".

No, I don't think he is - but on the news they were making a big stink about his tax returns and people were quick to act horrified that he referred to 347k as a small amount of money.

I just think a lot of the media generated controversies can easily be squashed by the candidate himself - but I'm also guessing most of America isn't ready to handle that sort of bluntness.

Some girl was at the gym before me this morning and it was on.

Your main point stands. I never watch the news save for situations like that.

Also, South Carolinans are stupid

I'm willing to compare the sample size of South Carolinians at desipio to downstate hilljack tollbooth jockeys on any of a number of topics.

But yeah, they are pretty stupid.

It truly was a golden age... of war, human bondage, factionalism, rampant prejudice, and sometimes outright lawlessness. So boring to be alive now.
