Nice wording on the poll.. NOT
“Do you agree with Mitt Romney’s assessment that 47 percent of Americans see themselves as victims?”
not that they would be trying to influence the poll or anything...

I just walked in on CNN in our break room and they’ve got a bunch of charts up breaking down who pays taxes and who’s on government assistance. They’re trying to spin, of course, but it’s up there for all to see... they’re showing how nearly half of the country either doesn’t have a dog in the fight (don’t pay income tax) or depend on government (receive assistance) or both.
Yes 77.98
When you take all the people on Welfare:
When you take all the people on Food Stamps;
When you take all the people on Unemployment;
When you take all the people on Medicare (which they helped pay for);
When you take all the people on Social Security (which they helped pay for);
When you take all the people on Medicade (which they did NOT help pay for);
When you take all the people on Disability:
When you take all the people on subsidised Rent Programs:
I am astounded that they all only add up to 47%
Only an Idiot would not agree with Romney !!
Yes - 78.77%
I believe the press will be trying to bury this story soon.
