Quote of the day: Those poor, ignorant commoners


Los Angeles Times reporter Maeve Reston, interviewing a Romney supporter waiting to attend a candidate fundraiser at David Koch’s manse in the Hamptons:

A New York City donor a few cars back, who also would not give her name, said Romney needed to do a better job connecting. “I don’t think the common person is getting it,” she said from the passenger seat of a Range Rover stamped with East Hampton beach permits. “Nobody understands why Obama is hurting them.

“We’ve got the message,” she added. “But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies – everybody who’s got the right to vote – they don’t understand what’s going on. I just think if you’re lower income – one, you’re not as educated, two, they don’t understand how it works, they don’t understand how the systems work, they don’t understand the impact.”

  1. It’s Romney & his band of thieves WHO ARE NOT GETTING IT!
    “Commoners” know B.S. monitoring better than anyone. All that money spent for his campaign that could actually go to helping those he stole from.
