poor romney, he’s too rich

Well, it’s official. Huckabee’s motto “I’m poor, let’s all be poor together” has found its way into the hearts of Americans everywhere.
Nowadays, the idea that a president who can’t better himself off, but will do wonders with the wallets of his electors, seem rational. Apparantly, poverty would rather have company. Why elect a President who might actually know a thing or two about making money, when you can have one that will spend the next four years sitting and crying with you?
Over the last debates and in other interviews, Mike Huckabee has come out against Mitt Romney and his financial assets. Accusing the governor of buying his way through campaigns, Mike Huckabee is more obsessed with Mitt’s money than Mitt is. Along with McCain, they take their turns twisting success into naivety.
In other words, they believe that if you’re as successful as someone like Governor Romney, there is no way of understanding the reality of the America people. Their lack of confidence is directed toward the American people rather than the Governor. “Success can’t know failure.” Gee, thanks but no thanks. Our president should have greater faith in the people.
Can America be so jealous of a candidate that they would switch their vote in an attempt to bilk the rich guy? Are we that petty? Does taking pride in the fact that we don’t discriminate against the poor mean that we can’t elect the rich?
I challenge the observant public to pay attention to Huckabee’s and McCain’s body language in the next debate. Notice to whom their childish smirks are aimed at and ask yourself, “Who are they threatened by?” If the answer is, “The successful entrepreneur,” then Huckabee/McCain beware: proletariat rhetoric works great with Democrats, but you’re on the Republican ticket. Keep it up and you’ll hinder the Republican Party’s chances of maintaining the White House. So can we please, in the name of tamed elephants every where, grow up?
My heart goes out to poor Romney if he loses the nominee. That will teach him for all those years of hard work and dedication. At least we’ll know he lost because he was… overqualified?
Fact: Mitt Romney is rich. He never said he wasn’t. So can we please get over it?
