Romney: 47% of Americans are victims

[dirk digler]

I guess this maybe the kill shot for his campaign. I know some of you believe you this and won't find a problem with what he said but as a person running for POTUS you probably shouldn't write off 1/2 the country especially in a disparaging way.

A hidden camera video of Mitt Romney at a fundraiser shows him talking disparagingly of people who will vote for President Obama.

Said Romney: "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what...These are people who pay no income tax."

He adds: "My job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

Former Governor Romney is Correct
by former Superior Court of New Jersey, Andrew P. Napolitano—a Ron Paul supporter.

Even if Romney ran to the left of Ted Kennedy, in 1994 and then governed like Mario Cuomo in New York, whichever version of Romney shows up, should he be elected, he's still right on this.

Now comes Romney to say that this [refers to FDR's lies on SS] has gotten out of hand. The feds have deliberately created a class of persons – 47 percent of people living in America today – dependent upon them. The governor is right. Anyone lulled into a false sense of security is a victim, and any government that has deceived members of the public to get them there is dangerous. Thus, the revelation that the big-government types who have dominated the federal government for 100 years, who want voters dependent upon them so that they can count on their votes, and who have made those voters victims have stung the Obama campaign and its media supporters. Romney was correct to call the 47 percent who are dependent upon the government victims of the government’s deceptions and lust for power, and he is courageous to stick to his guns.

The things I disagree strongly with him on, fiscal, energy, commerce, are not philosophical differences. I believe they will work tangible, perhaps irreparable, harm, ironically most devastatingly to those he's doing it 'for.'

When we hit the wall you are absolutely right. They will be crying in the streets. He is the most fiscally irresonsible president ever. Poetic justice right around the corner. YOu guys want this guy in office, so be it.

You are a ****ing moron. We're not hitting any wall anytime soon and we definitely won't hit any wall before Obama is out of office.

Big Daddy, I'm with you on some things (guns, freeloaders, rasing kids, pit bulls etc.) But, I just cant see how massive unpaid for tax cuts heavily weighted to favor the rich and let business run wild, let wall street run unchecked again is the best policy going forward. Thats all Romeny is giving us to base his plan on.

I'm not happy with Obamas performance. We were losing 800,000 jobs a month when he took office, 2 wars were ongoing, markets were locked up, the housing market had crashed, we were on the verge of another depression.

We are not where we need to be, far from it. But I believe as President Clinton said, no President could have gotten us out of that huge hole in 4 years.

Here is the hard part, I am far from pro Romney and will probably protest vote again. There is simply no way to justify what Obama has done and voting for his massive fiscal irresponability. Nobody expected him to get us out of this in 4 years. Stimulation of small business and reduced spending in so many areas we can cut back on (government employees as an example) is all that is going to bring us back, not deficit spending on more cops, firemen and teachers. Here is my question to you or anyone else that supports Obama. What is it that he is going to do to fix our financial problems that is different from the total failure of his first term and why do you think it is going to work. QE3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 is not it BTW.

Obama proposed tax cuts incentives to target small business this summer. Those small business would have created a million new jobs. But, the Republicans said no and the bill went no where. Why did the R's oppose a tax cut?

Teachers, cops and firemen are not the reason we are in this mess.

No they are not but that was what Obama wanted to do to help the economy. That was my point. I have no idea why R's voted that down. I do know that I don't know one small business owner voting for Obama, not one.

The stimulus was 1/2 tax cuts. 1/4 infrastructure and less than 12% money for teacher salaries.

I dont get your opposition to teachers. How is having a class size of 22 kids instead of 32 kids a bad thing?

You mean like blacks?

One establishment media poll has Romney’s support among blacks at 0% — and that’s after Obama drove black unemployment into the stratosphere. It’s nice to see we’re all united and racially healed now as promised.

That's because everyone knows that he's going to pass black reparations in his second term. Blacks will no longer need to work. They will all just get a check each month from the government.
