The overwhelming majority of voters who back President Barack Obama do so because they are "dependent on government" and "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing," Mitt Romney told a closed-door gathering of about 30 major donors earlier this year, according to video of the event that has surfaced on the Internet.

Nah, it just makes him look petty now.  No snide comeback line.

Would seem the Romney campaign is starting to implode.  I won't count them out, but it almost seems like they want to lose now.  Because no campaign can be this inept.

Gweed, you need my pacifier yet?

Nothing petty or unusual about a person telling the damned truth. Now where have we seen that 47% figure before....Oh yeah, that' s the number of people that do not pay federal income tax. And linking to David Shuster? Sheesh, isn't he the guy who thought Rove was going to be indicted? Oh wait, he was the guy who accused the one with the snuke up the snizz of pimping out her kid.

Like the Marine's say, " We're supposed to help those, who can't help themselves!"

I'm beginning to think Mitt's campaign is all about a tax shelter...

Goldwater 2! I'm wondering if in 50 years Americans will look back on RMoney's losing attempt to become President as middle of the road.

Keep 'em coming Gweed because you keep this forum on balance despite your inflexibility.

I'm sure everyone is equally offended by this:

I'm sure everyone is equally offended by this:

Nice...bring up some 2008 campaign rhetoric because you can't find anything from him on this?

...Now where have we seen that 47% figure before....Oh yeah, that' s the number of people that do not pay federal income tax.

And surprisingly enough, that number (though it changes whenever it's convenient for your argument) speaks more to the level of poverty in this country since that 47% or 45% or 42% or 40% don't have enough income to owe any federal taxes. You imply that they're freeloading on the taxpayers.  I suggest you spend a month or two living on food stamps and government cheese.

Current electoral vote forecast:305/232

Just to be clear, is nothing prior to 2012 allowed to be brought up for discussion when it pertains to Obama anymore?

I'm sure everyone is equally offended by this:

Let's see... did Obama accuse 47% of the electorate of being "bitter" and "clinging to guns and religion"?

Nope.

Yet the conservatives turned that into a bigtime election issue...

This needs to be a bigtime issue when Romney stereotypes Obama voters as the 47%, many of whom are veterans, disabled, seniors, unemployed, etc etc... many of them are Republicans, evangelicals, Ron Paul dittoheads, tea partiers, etc etc... and MANY of them still paid a higher percentage of their income than Romney did last year...

Didn't say that.  It does, however, speak to the desperation that the Romney water-carriers currently use.

[img]The truth hurts...

I paid a higher rate of federal taxes than Mitt Romney did last year.
And I won't vote for a "legacy" who thinks "middle income" is a salary of $200k to $250k per year...

I wouldn't think that insulting 47% of the population would be a winning election strategy.

"And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
