An Awful Moniker

One upside to Romney surrogate John Sununu’s ham-handed attacks on Barack Obama today is that they’ve distracted from Mitt Romney’s own unfortunate remarks at a fundraiser in Mississippi on Monday night.

“We’re accused, by the way — in our party — of being the party of the rich,” Romney told donors, according to an ABC News report. “And it’s an awful moniker, because that’s just not true. We’re the party of people who want to get rich. And we’re also the party of people who want to care to help people from getting poor. We want to help the poor.”
