A week later Romney is still a douchebag

[dirk digler]

My guess Mittens he won because he didn't insult half the country and didn't come across as a prick to normal middle class people.

Mitt: Obama won because of 'gifts'

http://www.politico.com/news/stories...#ixzz2CIgh0NOo

Mitt Romney told donors Wednesday he blamed last week’s loss to President Barack Obama in part to “gifts” the Obama administration gave to key voter blocs, including African Americans, Hispanics and young women, according to media reports.

“The president’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift — so he made a big effort on small things. Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars,” Romney said on a conference call with donors, the Los Angeles Times first reported.

The “gifts,” according to Romney, included forgiving college loan interest, free contraceptive coverage and the part of Obamacare that allows people 26 and younger to be covered under their parents’ health care plans.

“You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year, being told you’re now going to get free healthcare, particularly if you don’t have it, getting free healthcare worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity. I mean, this is huge,” Romney said, the New York Times reported.

“Likewise with Hispanic voters, free healthcare was a big plus,” Romney added. “But in addition with regards to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids, was a huge plus for that voting group.”

Coming from you that means he's probably not disappointing.

Sometimes the truth is bad politics.

Edit: BTW, I realize that there are good people who receive benefits from the government but who have reasonable views about limited government. I distinguish those people from the gluttons who want more no matter how detrimental it is to our country (much like the strikers who are about to drive Hostess out of business).

I'm on board with off loading the free loaders. I can't stand those lazy shits who do nothing but want hand outs like they are owed something. Pisses me off.

It's a affront to those who are seeking a help up not a hand out. We should have a time limit of how long you can receive free stuff from the taxpayer. A limit on how much you can recieve. Have a plan to get off the government dime. Surely there are enough Dems to join the R's to make this happen. It doesn't benefit anyone but the lazy shits that don;t deserve it.

So do you support the continued extending of unemployment benefits from the gov't? If anyone supports not doing so gets hammered by the press and the admin. Because as Pelosi says, extending them is the best stimulous of all. Or, something like that

Ironic considering the only thing that ugly psychotic hag has stimulated in the past 40 years is a gag reflex from her poodle when she tried to make it play the peanut butter game.

while we were in this deep recession yes, in normal times no. But people pay into unemployment insurance so thats a bad example.

I'm talking food stamps, welfare, free mortgage help, free rent, free college but they dont go to class and get all their living expenses paid.

I dont give a shit if your whole paycheck goes to pay a babysitter and then the government picks up the rest. No one should be allowed to sit on their ass and collect money except those disabled veterans. They have earned and paid the price.

It sure as heck will keep you from getting elected. The scandal on 9/11 pending and fast and furious already under the rug. Oh well if you run as Santa Claus you will be a hero. All these lefties celebrating is amazing to me. His wife said in 2008 it was the first time she was ever proud of her country....2012 is the first time in my life I have ever been ashamed of it~

Neither is being a sore loser. What ever happened to "I was absolutely wrong" about the 47%, Mitt?

Flipper, just thinks it's OK to go back to his "it's the poor's fault" message, because he only has to answer to his donors again, not the majority of America.

My god. This has to stop.

Don't worry, Obama doesn't need to worry about re-election anymore. Those suckers are expendable now.

You probably can grasp what the words, "in part," mean.

I'm not just talking about people like those. I'm talking about ethanol subsidies, child credits, health care expense deductions, student loans, and all kinds of other government subsidies. There are lots of hard working people and even not so hard working people like me receiving those, but that doesn't mean they should get to keep them. We need to trim (or slash) expenses all over the place and everyone needs to recognize that some of the goodies they currently get to take advantage of need to be sacrificed for the greater good.
