Here we go again. I'm reposting this because we have to keep the faith. [View all]

Hope I'm not breaking any DU rules by doing this but I feel we need re-enforcement and a little pep talk.
All is not lost just because Romney had a good day and our President didn't hit the points we wanted him to during the debate.

From my previous post *********
The GOP are jumping all over Biden's the middle class has been buried comment.

They are insinuating that Obama buried the middle class. There is a strong argument to back up what Biden 'really' meant by his comment. The economic devastation that Bush and previous GOP policies have visited upon this country is so insidiously destructive that it will take more than four years to overcome. Also, the absolute blocking of every bill and appointment that Obama has made over the last four years is the reason there has not been a more positive economic turn around.

Laughing at Biden is politically naive and immature and will do nothing to hose down the obvious disdain Romney has for the 47% of Americans that do the hard work in this country. That comment by Willard was not some accident of words. It is truly how he feels about the people who have suffered under the greed and power mongering that Romney and Ryan's Ayn Rand philosophy represent.
