Papantonio: Public Says Romney Only Cares for the Wealthy

One of the biggest questions that voters will have to ask themselves this coming November is "who will take of my interests better." The latest polls tell us that voters have already asked themselves that question, and the answer for most of the 99% is Obama. But for those in the top 1%, they overwhelmingly support Republicans like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Mike Papantonio talks about how voters' perceptions of who is the friendliest to Wall Street will play out this year with John Sides, political science professor and contributor to The American Prospect.

Romney is an idiot relatively speaking he's a Dan Quail. Born into money and has no clue what it means to be a regular person. Since 99% of America are regular people don't you think we need a leader that represents the 99% and the 1%? We at a minimum need an intelligent leader, one that cares about all of us not just his country club buddies. Poor people don't have a safety net. They are in soup kitchens because of Romney's Vulture Capitalism Corporate Raiding.

If it wasn't for the fact that the fascists in the GOP are off planet insane Obama would be taking WAY WAY WAY more flack for his useless right wing politics...

I hate democratic defending. Yeah Clinton felt the pain. I guess that is why he passed NAFTA. Clinton was not middle class president.

@gihaification 1. I dont give a damn about Osama or Libya 2. Of course McCain would have pulled out of Iraq, Obama stayed as long as the treaty Bush signed allowed him to and there still tons of contractors anyhow. As far as GM or the stimulus goes.. your probably right and thats not enough. Obamas central promise during the campaign was to "change the way washington works". And he hasnt even attempted to do anything on that front... not even pay lip service to it. Not worth voting for.

[gihaification]

@wistoncap You think Mccain would of got Osama? Or would of pulled out of Iraq? Or would of aided the Libyans? Would of Bailled out GM or done a stimulus?

I doubt he would of done any of these things.

You want change yet you fail to realise that the system is broken due to the Voting system. v=s7tWHJfhiyo See if that doesnt line up nicely with many political systems failings.

Best of the worst might be getting Old but thats cause it still applys,
