ABC News - "Romney Says Occupy Wall Street Protests Are the ‘Wrong Way to Go’"

[TomCADem]

I know that this will upset some of Romney's supporters who continue to assert that Romney is what passes for a moderate these days, but here is former Wall Street executive Romney pushing the class warfare talking point.

While GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain continues to barrage the Occupy Wall Street protesters for being “un-American” and “anti-capitalism,” his fellow Republican contender Mitt Romney has pared back his previously harsh words for the protesters.

At a campaign stop today in New Hampshire, Romney said blaming Wall Street for the country’s economic woes is the “wrong way to go.”

“Are there bad actors on Wall Street? Absolutely. Are there bad actors on Main Street? Absolutely. And they have to be found and plucked out,” Romney said. “But to say we should point and attack other Americans or industries of America would be a mistake.”

“The idea of dividing our nation at a time of crises is the wrong way to go,” Romney continued. “All the streets are connected. Wall Street is connected to Main Street. Finding a scapegoat, finding someone to blame, isn’t the right way to go.”

2. "You smelly Protesting Proles need to STFU and Assume the Position." - Mitty (R - Silver Spoon)

"What's with all this American democracy stuff? Us Republicon 'eeleetes' don't like that. You smelly Protesting Proles need to be less American and more like the Baggers (R) and the Freepers (R) who have already surrendered and meekly Assumed the Position for the Royal Republicon Reaming we are so happy to, um, serve them with. So STFU and get with the program.

13. OWS is not a good environment for Mitt and his, uhm, ...ilk.

"Please understand folks, that the same people who own Wall Street also own Main Street. So our concerns are all connected. When the owners of Wall Street do well, the owners of Main Street will also do well."

14. Is there anywhere I can find out the truth about Bain

Capital? Some sources say that it destroyed more jobs than it created, and some sources say it is the other way around. I would like to know for sure so I know what I am talking about when talking about why Mitt is an money grubbing a-hole.
