Please Tell Romney We're Not Envious, We're Fed Up

Once again, Willard has opened mouth and inserted foot. He is the gift that keeps on giving. He makes these statements that he presents as if they are facts. I agree with Rev. Al, that the issue that I have with Romney is not because I am envious. I am tired of the lies and the nonsense.

But out of all of the grandiose statements made in his teleprompter-assisted speech, Romney's most outrageous and insulting words came with a reference to the 'politics of envy'. Once again validating his love for the wealthy, and proving just how out of touch with reality he is, the presidential hopeful failed to realize that the majority in this country aren't jealous of the rich -- they are simply tired of a select few controlling a disproportionate amount of our money. It is beyond arrogant and insensitive to think that people seeking fairness and an even economic playing field are envious. And believe me Mr. Romney, they will remember come this November.
