Yes, because Romney was the epitome of "gentlemanliness" during his debate. He acted like he was hopped up on crank lobbing bombs all over the countryside trying to hit a specific target.
I don't think it's a matter of hating wealth.
I think it's a matter of hating the lack of integrity behind the things that some people do to acquire that wealth.
These are the individuals that are ruining it for everyone.
It's only money.

Out of the two debates, the only person who did a good job was Romney. He was like Ali in there. He looked good and sounded good. He controlled every part of the debate and pulled back when he was becoming too confrontational.
Biden was more like Frasier. He wasn't scientific, but he got the job done. He should have monitored his tone better and controlled some of the laughing, but he did what he was sent there to do. It's not like he would have been credited for a good debate from those who do not like him anyway. Ryan was a total disappointment. He had the ability to wipe the floor with Biden, but was afraid to be a fighter. The VP is not supposed to be Presidential. He is supposed to fight for his boss and attack anything and everyone who gets in his way. Ryan didn't do that.
I would like to see a Biden vs. Romney debate, just to see what would happen. Unfortunately, these debates will not turn anyone, because everyone has their mind made up. Even the undecided voters they survey after the debates already have their minds made up. That's why they never ask them the question. They only ask them who won the debate.

I concur, and here's why.
1) Joe started out aggressively, just like Mitt did. Funny how when Mitt did it the GOP fanbois were cool with it, but when Joe does it, he's a jerk.
2) He called out Ryan's lies right then and there. He didn't pull an Obama and just let the bombs keep dropping.
3) This is the most important part, he said he was religious but that he would NOT force his beliefs on another person. Ryan came out and stated flat out that abortion WOULD be illegal as per his beliefs. I cannot stand religious doctrine being forced upon us, so Ryan automatically loses because of this.
4) I felt Biden was more sincere, sorry Ryan comes across as a psychopath when he makes intense eye contact. It's like he's trying to "out-stare" the camera.
There's more here however I have to get the kids up and ready for school.
But capping income at $1M doesn't help me or make me feel better. I need my income boosted. Let's just make it where everyone gets paid the same amount. I also feel bad that some people have nicer vehicles than me... and second homes... fine jewelry... it just isn't fair that some have so much when I have so little.
Cerainily didn't mean to be a buzz-kill.
I think they both did their jobs.
Ryan - defended the 47% quote and made the common man understand how it could be taken the wrong way. However, I didn't like the way he said "my best friend is in a FOB..." not taking into account that his statement could put him in danger.
Biden - very stong and aggressive, although a bit annoying and over-the-top. Did well makng the tax issue a point of extended discussion, with Ryan not having a clear answer. He also did well bringing out the fact that Ryan contacted him for some of that stimulus money. However, Biden should definitely stay away from attempting to explain military tactics.
As for the "my friend" thing, those guys (politicians) are friends. They eat meals together, play golf, email and attend each other's family events. They are a very small fraternity and do very well putting political differences aside in their personal lives, when the cameras aren't on.
+1
Exactly! When my husband works 80+ hours a week on the business he has worked hard to build over the last 30 years, sometimes my only solace is the fact that we can now make improvements to our house that have waited for 10 years.
That's just an excuse. There are lots of people who use their wealth for good, but nobody goes around saying we should have more wealthy people so their charitable acts can be increased.
That line you just gave is nothing but a way to deflect from the fact that some people don't want others to have what they can't have. I'm not accusing you of holding that opinion, but there is absolutely no reason why one person should have any say or influence in the amount of wealth another person acquires. Not matter how awful a person he might be.
That's the second time you've projected your own inclinations onto others. What else do you know about me that I should be aware of?
Is that why the polls are showing Romney gaining overall and throughout the proverbial swing states?
