Romney advocates "Deep Pockets" as a solution for the unemployed.


That is a typical reaction to impoverishment by Republicans.  They throw their own personal money at it.  They have to approve of the charity, so if it is at all tainted 'blue' there is just no chance.  Having cancer is an equal opportunity offender so I don't know where that stands.

SUMTER, S.C. – Presidential candidates hear tales of woe all the time on the campaign trail. But rarely does one respond by pulling cash out of his back pocket to help a struggling voter pay her bills....

South Carolina is new territory for Willard.  His supporters in Iowa averaged an income of over $100,000.  New Hampshire is the bedroom community 'up north' from Massachusetts.  As soon as he arrive in South Carolina he stated he was especially worried about the poor.  He thought it outrageous the top 5% of the nation ignored the needs of the 95%.  HE doesn't believe only 1% is the problem, it has to be at least 5%.  Dam the research about it.  Father knows best.

For some unknown reason, the supporters son, age 26 with a chronic illness, does not sufficient funds to pay all his bills.  How about that.

Willard is having a problem.  He is visiting with every available VFW and military affiliation in South Carolina he can find.  South Carolina is a new reality for Willard Romney.  He has been alienated from poverty.  Massachusetts takes care of its needy.  They look after the disadvantaged.  All that 'mess' is not common place in Massachusetts as it is in South Carolina.  So, he is getting his feet wet.  I can't believe his answer to the unemployed is throw cash at it.  It sounds like he believes in extended unemployment benefits.

I doubt $20 + US will solve the unemployed woman's problems.  In true Republican form, she was immediately put to work as a campaign volunteer for the monies she received.   I hope circumstances improver in South Carolina, the state of Nicki Halley, Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint right along with Tea Party House members.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican (click title to entry - thank you) presidential candidate Mitt Romney has opened a wide lead over his rivals in the South Carolina primary election race, trouncing Newt Gingrich and gaining momentum in his march toward the party's nomination, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, could all but quash his rivals' presidential aspirations with a victory in South Carolina on January 21 after winning the first state-by-state nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Voters in South Carolina - who have favored Republicans in nine of the last 10 presidential elections - appear to have shrugged off attacks on Romney by rivals who accuse him of killing jobs as a private equity executive for Bain Capital in the 1990s.

The poll showed 37 percent of South Carolina Republican voters back Romney. Congressman Ron Paul and former Senator Rick Santorum tied for second place with 16 percent support....
