It's all over the news, and Jim Messina - Obama's campaign manager - said this (in addition to what Politico.com had to say about the dysfunction in the Romney campaign)

 

====================================================

 

Today we learned that Mitt Romney said this about Obama supporters to fellow millionaires at a closed-door fundraiser:

 

"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 ...

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

 

The man who spoke these words -- who demonstrates such disgust and disdain for half of our fellow Americans -- is the other side's choice for president of the United States. He wants to lead our country.

ROMNEY GETS REAL: OBAMA SUPPORTERS "DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT"

 

* 80% of darkies(95% blacks, 99% muslims, 80% Guyanese, 67% hispanics, etc) will be voting for Obama

 

* The majority of those darkies are dependent on Government.

 

* Romney is right to focus on the WHITE BLUE COLLAR VOTERS.

 

* Even though millions of white blue collar voters are on the dole---they remain patriotic and will not tolerate the black guy ruining their country further.

 

====================

 

It's about time Romney make it clear he wants the white votes---and say *&^% the darkie votes--let Obama have them.

PS. The Rev is among the 20% of darkies who would be supporting Romney.

Damm right the Govt should feed it's own people and give them healthcare. They give it to other countries while the Americans suffer. Half our income go in taxes, and the rich bastards do no work, and refuse to pay their fair share of taxes. Time to seize their damm assets and send them out to work for a living. By now, people should realize it doesn't take brains to become a millionaire, just business smarts, luck, and plenty of wheeling and dealing. This Rommey fellow is not that smart, but I am wondering why his rich cronies put him up for president. By now they should have realized that the world has changed and most Americans are not that stupid to be taken in by a con man, but then again I see many Guyanese with Rommey signs in their yard.

Romney is smart enough to know that when he says, Obama supporters are dependent on government---60+%  white voters will read that as blacks hate working and hispanics love welfare. Even whites on welfare would love that statement by Romney

Let us not forget also how Romney mishandled the embassy storming and the subsequent deaths before anything was confirmed, and that while Obama never sanctioned the embassy statement in Benghazi before the protests, Romney said he Obama was apologizing. Romney was un-Reagan-like by attacking for political gains a sitting US President in a time of national problems overseas.

 

Romney insulted the British over their Olympic preparation and stereotyped the Jews as money-hungry people. One country is the easiest to say things about (Britain) and the other has a Prime Minister who worked at Bain Capital (Israel), and he flubbed them both.

 

He has shown an unsteady hand like McCain did when Lehman collapsed.

And now this revelation, and they are not walking it back. When Obama had his “cling to guns and God” he was not disavowing those folks. He was stating a fact. Romney on the other hand disparaged 47% of the population.

 

Think about it – with Blacks being only 12% of the population he had to be speaking about white folks who would normally vote for a Republican candidate.

 

Obama is one lucky son of a gun I guess.

 

October surprise in September?

Remember folks with 12% blacks, the 35% are white folks who are on some kind of entitlement program such as social security, medicare, medicaid etc.

Did not most of these people work and pay taxes b4 they are entitled to these benefits? What a joker!

 

Willard, your goose is cooked!

ROMNEY WAS 100% CORRECT!

 

This is what he said:

 

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 whatâ€ĶThese are people who pay no income tax.

 

 

BACK IN 2008 OBAMA SAID THIS:

 

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

 

 

Clearly the black guy accused blue collar whites of bigotry back in 2008---and he got elected.

 

COME NOVEMBER--THOSE WHO LOVE GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS WILL VOTE OBAMA; THOSE WHO LOVE AMERICA WILL VOTE ROMNEY.

 

Romney 53%; Obama 46%

This is for you rev. I know you are a man of figures. You blame Obama for every thing in America. I got this from CNN

 

2004’s  5.4% jobless rate was up from a 4.2% reading when Bush took office. By comparison, the unemployment rate today is only slightly higher than the 7.8% rate on the day Obama was sworn in, and slightly better than the 8.3% reading a few weeks later.

Do some fact checking. Do not rely on that racist moron as a source of information. He is allergic to truths.

The Obama "Cling to guns and religion" moment was to state a mind-set of the people whom he wants to court.

 

Romney on the other hand, clearly stated that the 47% is not his job to go after. IT is the 10 - 15% Independents.

 

That's a huge difference between the two private moments caught on camera.

 

It';s is clear also that Romney's aspirations to being a leader of the US and his comments to "kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it" are just ugly.

 

Stick a fork on this fake. His approach is to say that with the economic situation this election is a gimme for the Republican nominee. Therefore I don't need to do anything but say Obama is in over his head - nice guy though. Romney has no passion for this contest. He refuses to lay out specific policies that would achieve his goals of debt reduction, job creation, etc. He's just a fake. Obama is pulling away, like he did with McCain in Sep 2008. The election is just going to be boring from here on in. Like SNL said, Obama's main weapon in his contest is his opponent.

Why should Romney focus his attention on those who don't pay taxes and contribute to the country's economy? Seniors should be taken care of because they already worked for their retirements. The free hand out is an encouragement for young people to be lazy and mooch off the government for life. America is experiencing its worst economics crises, and here we have to worry about those who take from government and put nothing into the system. We're talking about Chief and company who always want something from brother Obama.

From today's New York Times front page article.......

 

Mr. Romney’s figure of 47 percent comes from the Tax Policy Center, which found that 46.4 percent of households paid no federal income tax in 2011.

 

But most households did pay payroll taxes. Of the 18.1 percent of households that paid neither income taxes nor payroll taxes, the center found that more than half were elderly and more than a third were not elderly but had income under $20,000. Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the center, wrote in a blog post last summer that about half of those were off the rolls because they had low incomes.
