Exactly. The basic problem with Romney’s statement is that it was broad verging on outright incorrect. White Christians outside of the Northeast vote majority Republican far down into the net tax-recipient income range. Asian and Jews pay tend to pay high taxes and overwhelmingly vote Democrat anyway. It was true only with respect to the minority position in a demographic: find a white Christian in Texas who votes Democrat, and it’s very likely he’s lower income. Find a Jew or African American who votes Republican, he’s likely to be well off.
Correct, there is no 47%, that it why it is being defined in so many diverse, contradictory ways, it has no definition.
It is just another phrase that people absorb and work into every conversation, Romney revealed yet again that he is clueless about America, and the American people, the American voters, American politics, he showed himself as a surface skimmer again, shallow absorbsion, and mimicking, with no comprehension or personal input.
