Your hatred is palpable. It has to come from somewhere.
Why do you attack the poster. Do you have anything intelligent to say about the OP.

Now, answer the question.

Read it again. The lady didn't say that she hates rich people; she said that she believes people who were born rich have difficulty relating to people who weren't. Being relatively poor, she's choosing to vote for someone who has some first-hand knowledge of what that's like.

Do you believe it's hateful for people to vote for candidates who reflect some aspect of their own history or character?

Are Mormons wrong if they vote for Romney just because he's a Mormon?

You can even cry in front of the camera if you want to!

This statement says it all. She hates rich people because they can't relate to her, at least according to her. You gave a thumbs up of approval.

Now. Again. Why do you hate rich people? Why do you sympathize with those who hate rich people?

Quit trying to put words in other people's mouths.

Now. Again. I don't hate rich people. I can't speak for that lady, but it's worth noting that she mentions that Romney was brought up "filthy rich," i.e. he's not a self-made man. He was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

Whom do you admire more: a self-made entrepreneur or a scion of a wealthy family who used his existing wealth and connections to make himself even richer? And if wealth=merit, no matter how it was acquired, does that mean you are full of admiration for rich people like John Kerry, George Soros, Arianna Huffington, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, etc.?

I suppose you'll ignore that question in favor of more faulty amateur psychoanalysis -- knock yourself out; I suppose everyone needs a hobby. Just don't quit your day job.

It would depend on which rich person you are referring to. If its the guy who I think you are talking about, the one you seem to allude to as "Innovative" the one who wrote the book "Outsourcing for Dummies" also, "Get the inside track on "How to get rich from Taxpayer Bailouts" If it's that guy I don't like his ass either.
