The contempt of the privileged elite toward US

  The contempt with which the privileged media regards you and me is exemplified by Jeff Greenfield's article picked up on Yahoo, in addition to the Bill Maher/Alex Pelosi Mississippi toothless video.
  The title gives you a clue:

What’s the matter with Mitt? Why Romney can’t win over conservatives

  As usual, approaching a Republican/conservative from the negative is what works for people like Jeff Greenfield, who fears the militancy of the Tea Partiers and who thinks the Occupiers are patriots but Tea Partiers represent a threat to democracy.
  Contempt oozes from this article; every Republican is "ill equipped," falsely patriotic, obsessed with "values," gun toting church goers without reason who value church attendance over values and "awkward," to say the least.
  Why people like Greenfield don't just come out and say they hate our side of the aisle is a mystery.
  From Yahoo:
Now picture Mitt Romney. What do you see? A man most comfortable in a blue suit and a crisp white shirt. In a sense, his awkwardness in trying to establish a connection with voters is almost endearing—almost, because it comes with a sense of desperation akin to watching someone dance who is trying to remember the steps he learned at Arthur Murray's Dance Studio. 
Can a candidate win an election without a deep-seated "one of us" appeal?
  Gore lived in privilege. Kerry lived in privilege. And, in truth, Obama was pampered by the Communist elite by grandparents who adored him and Communist caretakers who nurtured his anti-American anti-colonialism tendencies.
  Yet instead we are treated to treatise after treatise about Romney's elitism, his inability to connect with the public and his awkwardness in discussing grits with Southern voters.
  Personally I don't care about any of it.
  I care that Romney has the best interests of this country at heart; I care that he can set us on the right track; I care that jobs will be created in this country for even the toothless Mississippians that Maher and Pelosi love to mock.
  Press "1" if you want Romney over the privileged elitism of Obama's unpleasant and destructive cohorts.
