Some people take this country for granted and they don’t consider how to take care of it. Not during an election. They are bought, their votes are bought. They will not understand basic economics from someone whom they hate in eight short weeks.

Why people who are on govt. dole are allowed to vote is probably a flaw in the system. Conflict of interest, just to start.

Ooh, I cringe in anticipation.

Don’t back down Mitt, you are correct.

Very true. There are tons of people out there who, due to the flaccid economy, are downright ashamed that they pretty much had no choice but to accept some form of government assistance. They want to work, but there is just so little job creation.

Obama’s lead over Romney among low income voters is only around 15%, and taking into account the low percentage of poor people that even do vote, clearly these are different slices of the 47%.

I fail to see the inaccuracy of Romney’s remarks.

What percentage does he think is reasonable. He has included the military, police officers, fire fighters, all government workers and, social security recipients. All painted with a broad brush of being lazy and irresponsible and Obama voters. I don’t think he meant it that way but that is why he has to clarify so many of his statements. Maybe if he had given some thought to a solution he could have been more effective.

Of course. Someone was sitting on this video, and the polls must be showing that the foreign policy disaster in the Middle East is starting to hurt Dear Leader, so out it comes. Nothing but 24/7 lapdog media coverage of this until the Muzzies stop burning our embassies and killing our diplomats, or until after the election.

The Makers [53%] will vote for Romney.

The Takers [47%] will vote for Obama.

So what are YOU? A Maker or a Taker?

Vote Accordingly...

Those 47% bitterly clinging to their welfare checks and gubmint cheese will vote for the guy who accused those of bitterly clinging to their guns and religion of voting for Republicans.

Thank you for bringing this article and videos to our attention.

Romney has embraced the RINO Hydra of trying in vain to win over moderates. Independents, undecided and of he fence sitters.

Here is the main idea from the article that I base this on: “ - - - Asked why he wouldn’t go full-throttle and assail Obama as corrupt, Romney explained the internal thinking of his campaign and revealed that he and his aides, in response to focus-group studies conducted by his consultants, were hesitant to hammer the president too hard out of fear of alienating independents who voted for Obama in 2008 - - - . “

Key phrases are “his aides,” focus-group studies,” “his consultants,” and “fear of alienating independents.”

America needs a leader to get us back on the right Track, Romney.

Tick-Tock Romney: can you discard the above 4 groups that keep you tied with Obama? Tick-Tock.

Bookmarked.

Of all the stupidity! He got into trouble for saying something like this in the GOP Primary when he said he wasn't concerned about the poor which was what they ran with even though he meant because there's a safety net (a safety net not worth a hill of beans unless you tick the right boxes).

Did he learn nothing about the press then?
