Mitt Romney calls half of America freeloaders

[joeydb]

Obama cannot run on his record, and so he must destroy Romney.

Obama added 5 trillion to the debt, bringing us to 16 trillion and counting.

That's 4 million bags of $4 million dollars each. $4 million squared.

Unemployment has gone up, peaking at just short of 10% even after cooking the books.

Forcing through a medical takeover that the majority of people do not want.

What, besides dishing out teleprompter scrolled condescension, has this guy really done?

Each individual has to make his/her own assessment, but I know that I'm not dumb enough to vote for him. He's shown us nothing good.

romney's doing a good enough job of destroying himself, obama just has to sit back and watch him implode.

and i'm pretty sure romney has only been attacking obama, rather than run on his 'record'.

I won't disagree that Romney has made some missteps. He's far from perfect. But he doesn't need to be that great to be preferable to Obama.

He doesn't need to be that great?

I can't facepalm enough. This once great country is gone and has been co-opted by special interests that prey on people like Joey who would rather the world end than a baby be aborted.

Tired of this s.hit. Need to go back to states rights so I can have a chance of getting away from these idiots. Right now it's impossible.

Can you read?

He is better than Obama. That is the only choice to be made in a two-party system.

It's not a two-party system. We have the choice to pick other candidates. The problem is people like you don't stand for anything important. You do what you're told and aren't particularly inquisitive. Just like being spoon-fed and your environment stable.

A slave.

Explain this, slave.

The entiitlement side of the street will never go to a 3rd party, big labor as well. This goes to the point Romney was trying to make (badly). 5 to 10% of the voters are in play. Hard to imagine a 3rd party able to overcome that dynamic and defeat the left. Unless/until things come completely unglued.

in what regard?

Media Matters follows the development of Fox News and RW media in creating, out of thin air, the meme that the 47% who pay no taxes are "freeloaders and moochers" via Hannity, Doocey, Carlson, O'Reilly

How The Right Wing Media Built Mitt Romney's 47 Percent Line

The right-wing media's assault on struggling Americans found its way in to GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's recently revealed remarks disparaging 47 percent of Americans "who pay no income tax" to a group of wealthy donors, once again demonstrating the conservative media's central role in the GOP.

Well I guess Romney lost any chance of stealing the freeloaders votes from Obama.

This just the flavor of the week in the MSM's coordinated campaign to destroy Romney to protect their failed dear leader. Last week it was the comments about Obama apologizing to to thugs. Can you imagine if the MSM did this with the comments from those two idiots Obama and Biden?

Mother Jones is releasing rest of Romney tape, which includes more of Mitt Romney saying exactly what he really thinks:


Romney: Palestinians not interested in peace

By KEN THOMAS, Associated Press – 1 minute ago

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney faced a new challenge Tuesday for saying Palestinians "have no interest" in peace with Israel, comments captured on newly released videotape of his private remarks to wealthy donors.

"You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem ... and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it," Romney said. He said pushing Israel to give up disputed territory for a two-state solution with the Palestinians "is the worst idea in the world."

The clip is the second to surface this week of Romney's remarks at a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser in Boca Raton, Fla., on May 17. Romney's campaign spent part of Monday trying to mitigate fallout from the first clip, in which Romney tells donors that 47 percent of Americans "believe they are victims" entitled to help from the government that permeates their lives.

Interesting stories on all these tapes: first, there is a one-hour tape of the entire private dinner. All the bits and pieces are from this.

Excerpts have been out on the internet for some time, weeks, mostly YouTube. I saw one of them on Daily Kos earlier in the week.

A person going by the name of Anneonymous620 has been dribbling them out for some time, but not gaining traction.

In fact, 9 audio clips were posted on Daily Kos a couple days ago, but the poster was accused by other members of a false flag operation without verification of source/clips.

Jimmy Carter IV, yes, Jimmy Carter's grandson, does oppo research on his own. He saw one of the clips of tape on YouTube, Kos, Huffpost, and contacted, via Twitter, the person who put the tapes out.

Carter got the person connected with David Corn. Corn verified the tapes, location, etc. and published them under Mother Jones masthead. Corn has the original, high quality video with no blurring, blocking, etc.

And then they took off.

And the party? The location and host has been revealed, it was held March 17 at the Boca Raton residence of hedge-fund manager Mark Leder.

Mark Leder is famous for throwing sex-parties and orgies at his Bridgehampton home.

A thorough, non-hysterical opinion piece by David Brooks in the NYT. Succinct regarding Romney and the purely inaccurate, wrong-headed notions.

Thurston Howell Romney

This comment suggests a few things. First, it suggests that he really doesn’t know much about the country he inhabits. Who are these freeloaders? Is it the Iraq war veteran who goes to the V.A.? Is it the student getting a loan to go to college? Is it the retiree on Social Security or Medicare?
