That said I have 5 adult children, their spouses and mates and out of 10 all are voting Romney. They understand their civic duty as voters and that you do not ever vote just your wallet. That 47% is a BS number because it hides all the details of it's existence.
You are correct. It is not even 47 percent of people, it is 47 percent of households. If your mother is living with you, and she gets social security, your household is one of the 47 percent. If your spouse is getting a military pension, your household is one of the 47 percent.
A considerable number of the 47 percent are conservatives.
I understand the point Romney was trying to make, which is that we are becoming a dependant nation, but he has said that he could have said it better, and it is true.
There is also a good bit of the tape missing and we do not know the context for that. Presumably it was to make the worst possible cut for Romney.
This whole 47% argument is a major decoy to get the other 53% to feel things are hopeless. The reality is we have about 35 to 37% who are either severe dependents who have no choice, total losers who love free sh!t, hard core Marxists & the brain dead Hollywood/Broadway/Media Elites. The percentage that are truly in need of assistance are some of the most conservative people I know. 47% to Obama is BS.
