That was quick… Less than an hour ago Drudge posted video of Barack Obama telling an audience in 1998 that he believes in redistribution of wealth. Mitt Romney was just on Your World with Cavuto and hammered the president over this shocking admission. “He wants redistribution of wealth. I disagree.”
(video)
Mitt Romney on Barack Obama:
“Frankly we have two very different views about America. The president’s view is one of a larger government. There’s a tape that just came out today where the president is saying he likes redistribution. I disagree. I think a society based upon a government-centered nation where government plays a larger and larger role, redistributes money, that’s the wrong course for America. That will not build a strong America or help people out of poverty. I believe the right course for America is one where government steps in to help those who are in need. We’re a compassionate people. But then we let people build their own lives… We believe in free people and free enterprises.”
Touché.

That’s the one I believe where he is talking about “posiive rights”. That is as radical as you can get. I don’t know if the American public would get it though....
I hope not.
That would earn him standing with the likes of Deep Throat or something . . . a journalist who’s breaking story would likely not be topped for many decades to come.
Poppycock. Those are the same people that won't vote for him anyway.
(Ping to #25!!)
Whoa! Spinal Transplant!
“He brings a knife, you bring a gun...” to quote a certain political figure.
Excellent point!
If we called it what it is -- income redistribution, or, maybe, paycheck redistribution -- it would have more impact as well as being more accurate.
That’ll cause Axelhead some heartburn; Alinskyites don’t like to be Alinskied.
RomneyCare(tm) is a huge indictment.
He needs to apologize for RomneyCare, refute its intellectual basis, and admit the hated 0bamaCare is fully based on RomneyCare.
After he renounces his promotion of straight-up Socialism, I could be fully on board.
In the mean time, it is good to hear any conservative position upheld in public, even if I don’t trust Romney (see above.)
Well it is about time. However mitt just does not come across as hard hitting. I want to see him angrily demanding obama explain what happened to our libya, eqypt, our consulate and our economy. In 4 years o bama has destroyed a country. He also needs to ask “barney fife” to identify all responsible for not allowing guards to have bullets in a muslim country on 9/11.
I’m so sick of all the cry baby negatives. Now attacking socialist “redistribution” makes you a “rich guy”? To hell with redistribution it’s un American. Period.
Romney fights back? I’m afraid I’ll wake up soon and its just a dream.
Werksferme!!
Ain’t it sad, there seems to be no one out there with the cajones dig up real dirt on Obama, but what’s even sadder, that dirt has to be hidden from the American people else, the 47% would drop to 46%...
Was Sununu like this ‘way back when’? I recall the name, but don’t recall him being so outspoken - he’s quite an effective ‘attack dog’. To my great enjoyment, he makes mincemeat of the media interviewing him .... great spokesperson for Romney.
