Santorum said "We have no classes in America!" Damn, I knew they were all nuts, but

[napi21]

even my grandkids know they're not in the upper CLASS!

1. Perhaps he meant it as education policy

2. You are right, they are all nuts. They asked romney a direct question, and he answered with the

Declaration of Independence

3. I felt some indignation at that statement.

You have to be seriously intellectually dishonest to say there are no classes when there are people who have $50 Billion dollars while some other people are homeless.

5. Yes, but the rich have opportunity as well to steal bread, beg in the streets, & sleep under bridges

And the law, in its majestic equality, forbids everyone equally from such pursuits.

See, there's no "class" involved when everyone is subject to being jailed for all such offenses. No class at all.

(Tip o' the hat to Anatole France)

[QED]

4. He is clueless

He lives in his own little world where everyone has the same views on everything, his own weird little utopia. Everything is in its rightful place and everyone knows his or her place and doesn't aspire or attempt to challenge their position. And he wants that for everyone else because it's so perfect for his white bread self. With that perspective, there are no classes - after all, he's never known anyone different in a meaningful way.

6. Which is why the 1% concept doesn't hold any meaning for him. Dangerous...

7. the first I heard a politician get upset at the term "middle class"

he seemed angry that Romney mentioned the middle class.

And check out the endorsement he just got from Gary Bauer:

“Santorum is building that fire among the base,” Bauer said, according to a New York Times report. “He has the potential to bring a lot of middle class and working class voters to his banner if he got the nomination.”
