“my job is not to worry about those people. ”

He could have made a comment with 25,000 words. BUT the above NINE words is what will define him in every ad going forward. He has already made a comment during the primaries that he isnt worried about the poor people. Will make a nice montage.

“We have a 2 party system”

We have a one party system, the Left. We haven’t had a conservative presidential nominee in over 25 years. Haven’t had a conservative Congress since 1996.

All the one-party has to do is run leftists on both the Democrat and Republican side, then most conservatives give up and pretend that the Republican Marxist is less bad than the Democrat.

If Obama had called himself a Republican for this election, lot of Republicans would have voted for him, as the lesser evil.

Mitt Romney did not say that the “47%” were dependent on the federal government. He said that people who have little to no skin in the game are more apt to vote for a politician who tells them he will continue those policies.

How many times have we read or heard about “people voting against their best interests”? This is a democrat lie that has been used to snow people into thinking their “best interests” lie in receiving government largesse. The type of individual who believes this apparently is unfamiliar with the fairy tale “The Goose That Laid Golden the Egg”......

Great thread! Thanks!

“The 47% moment” has been seized upon this afternoon as some grand revelation about Mitt Romney’s disdain for moochers - - - “

Yup. What took you so long Romney? We love it when you serve up RED MEAT.

BTW Romney, we ALWAYS roll up our cuffs when we feast on RED MEAT!

With all due respect, they cannot be heifers and have children, by definition. I would refer to them as tubbies....but your main point is clear.

” - - - 47% of Americans don’t pay income taxes. Which is true!”

Thus we have the line in the sand that Romney drew.

Never apologize, Romney.

That is like in the primaries he had said (TO the effect)”If I hire someone and he doesn’t do his job, I fire him—I like firing people (if they don’t do their job)”.

Which turned out to be “I like firing people” and all got the primer about Bain Cap.

This myth you can say what you want and come back later and say “that is not what I meant”, doesn’t wash when all the other side wants to do is bury you....

Point taken....the term just seems to ‘fit’ however. The other term that comes to mind is “fat, lazy you-know-whats”

It is disgusting. I cannot remember a time in the last 3 years where I haven’t gotten behind one of them in line at Walmart. In my county, they are EVERYWHERE!

I didn’t see the press conf. I will check it out

Only an idiot would attack 47 percent of voters (even if true). He must direct his venom at liberal policies. Attack liberal policies not the voters themselves.

Obama does not have a floor of 47 percent. Never concede a single voter to obama. Reagan would reach out to all and offer to bring them out of bondage to welfare crumbss. We want to motivate voters and raise them up

I didn’t take it that way. I just get so pissed when I have to see this day in and day out - my county is maybe 20,000....96% white, 1% black, and 3% mexican (hispanic).

Today, I was behind a middle aged hispanic who spoke pigeon english buying ‘goodies’...had a brand damned new EBT card and needed help entering his charge off to US Gringos. If he entered this country legally, I’ll eat your hat. goddamit!

Oh yeah, I forgot about “I like firing people”. This is lunacy and I would reluctantly give my right arm for Gingrich.

Thanks for “getting it”

Obviously a lot of huff and puff here from people who didnt watch Romney n that video. I almost threw a shoe at the TV when Romney torturously carefully explained that his goal was 50.1% of the vote

Now we have to hold our noses and vote for Romney

It’s the GOP patriotic thing to do. Vote for an elitist bumbler because the other guy is a charismatic monster

YES THEY WILL.
Listen nobody hates ZERO more than me.
He has screwed this country up so bad that the only fix will be completely starting over.
If we get in and it tanks, we will be blamed for ever, I say let it tank under his watch. He can't blame anybody, well he can but guess what it won't fly.
Mit is Mclame on steroids, he has NO Chance NONE NADA ZIP.
