Did anyone think it was weird that Romney said the word 'poor' about four times in a row last night.

...and not just poor but poo-errr. Really our eyes bugged out when he did this. Referring to people as 'poor people' pretty much removes any degree of dignity possible. It rolled out of his mouth like a bad taste. I hope that people who have been bankrupted by the thieving right realize that they will have no scrap of dignity under Romney.

The makers are the men and women who work hard to try to make a living, even if they're not paid enough to support their families, whereas the takers are those richie riches who sit on their assets and asses making a living off not only their dividends, but also on other people's hard work.
