Who are these "Real Americans" of which you speak...

So...when Romney Adviser Tara Wall was asked about criticisms of his lack of a detailed Afghanistan policy she noted:

"Unfortunately it’s disappointing that the attacks, these recent attacks on all these issues outside of what the issues are relative to Mitt Romney are diverting away from what real Americans want to talk about. And real Americans want to talk about getting back to work."

Hmmm...perhaps that is what the selfish Americans to whom Romney is trying to appeal want to talk about - what's in it for me - but I do not think that makes them real.  It kind of makes them surreal.  Caricatures maybe.  Evil doppelgangers.  Zombie Americans.  Bizarro Americans wearing American flag lapel pins.

Does she mean that the millions who have been or will be directly or indirectly impacted by our foray into Afghanistan, and those of us who do care about them and want to hear what this candidate's plans are for them, are not real Americans?  Does she think that wars and tax cuts did not contribute to today's' problems?  So, when times are hard, real Americans cut their military loose, just give lip-service to the idea of "heroes" but only care about themselves?  Not the real Americans I know.  I do not think you know what a real American is...you are living in some weird alternate America.

Hello, Mitt.  I served my country in the military for 10 years - not in France on a religious mission.  I care about what is happening to my active duty brothers and sisters and want to know what your plans will be for them.  That's as real as it gets.
