He wasn’t wrong at all. I’ll remember those Monday morning statements and who stated them.

0 promised free things, paid for by Whitey.
Romney promised that he would respect hard-working people who pay for 0’s free things.
The freeloaders won.
So what happens now, as there are fewer and fewer suckers who are willing to go out and work in the cold, paying for their own gas and clothes, and who have half their pay seized by the government?

Communism.

Romney was absolutely correct, and if the GOP does not find some way to stigmatize reliance on public largess as it once was they will never win another national election.

Romney told the truth, the truth isn’t allowed in America.

Can you even imagine these low life cowardly republican SOB’s, knowing they are sitting on an incredible mountain of spending and debt, and decrying the idea that voters are getting stuff??

I know plenty of Asian Americans that while successful are right at the front of the line for freebies.

Freebies ARE a problem.

Anyone, anyone who disputes Romney’s statement, isn’t grounded in reality. He’s 100% correct;

“You can’t beat Santa Claus”. (Rush)

Asians? Aren’t they the recipients of chain migration big time with condos and free stuff for their elderly relatives?

This is the European model - Obama executed it rather well, and we will all the price for it now. I wouldn’t be surprised if that forevermore we will have to gift voters for their vote - unless someones unwinds the entitlements - and guess what, no one will if they want to be elected.

We conservatives will be the most frustrated... how will we win elections when the other side is buying votes ? Even if the country is center right - people are going to vote with their pocketbook.... and worse still relatively few even are aware of the issues.

Bump.

Thank you for perfectly stating my thought.

Sir Alexander Tytler:

And here we are.

Romney just stated the truth. Too bad all the others don't have the cojones to admit he's right.

Use a different demigod. Santa Claus delivers coal ~ Obama doesn’t want you to have coal. Huge difference there!

The folks who thought that lived in a time when democracy was little known beyond theories propounded in books. They certainly didn’t live in democracies.
