My mom lives in a retirement community made up mainly of older Republicans living on Social Security and covered by Medicare. She tells me all the talk at meal time is about being tossed under the bus by their own man. Perhaps Mitt should not continue to count on those he insulted. This latest exposure of the ‘real’ Mitt is going to have long lasting effects. Way to go buddy.

What will it take for the republicans who now know without a doubt that they are voting against their own self interest to not vote for Romney? Does he have to caught with his hand in the collection plate at the Senior Citizens’ Home? Oh wait…

They need to proof read;
“– are among the Southern whites inclined to vote for Romney. In 2008
, “Election day is Nov 6 2012. Romney/Ryan weren’t running 4 years ago.

I can’t delete my comment, I need to poof read.

“It’s the Negro Stupid!”

It could have been a conversation in the 1700’s. It could have been a conversation on inauguration day 2009. Those that really run things in America have always known a good thing when they see it, a way to take or maintain power in a racially divided America. When the captains of commerce in Colonial America needed cheap labor for the tobacco and cotton fields and someone to manage the slaves, they turned to those that they could manipulate through fear and loathing to help them maintain power. They turned to the lower class, the uneducated, those that would do their bidding and never know it wasn’t really in their best interest. Managing the poor is an age old enterprise. It is in the DNA of those that would rule the world.

The election of Barack Obama was a godsend to those that would manage the poor and the more poor, the merrier. It is a “gimmee” for those that would put a match to the tinder box of hate and racism in an uneducated lower class that would do their bidding in the name of “I want my country back.”

Janes Carville had ir right in the 1990′s when he declared, “It’s the economy stupif!”

Rove and his ilk may not have said it out loud, but they know their only way back to power in 2012. “It’s the Negro, stupid!”

Romney is just too honest. The twist that Americans are free loaders can only be gleaned from well edited versions of the tape. If 47% pay no taxes, they will not be engaged by a policy of tax cuts. That is just logical. Many people feel they are victims of the economic collapse, and blame government policies, or just George Bush. If they feel wronged by the government, they would expect the government to compensate. This was a blunt, but accurate assessment of the problems that his election effort is facing.

Fact is there was a dirty, fetid democRAT spy in that Invited only room. Fact is ROMNEY told the TRUTH, something Obama and his minions CAN’T! Fact is, 47% of American’s DON’T pay income tax, and the majority of those are BRIBED by the 21st Century commie party aka democRATS, DAS LEADERS, by buying thier votes! Barack Obama is a slavemaster, holding down the indigent, unemployed and generational DOLE takers so they are beholden to voting him in again to keep receieving freebee’s, dole and free condoms! SICK, if this is today’s AMRRICA, and sicker if this inetp, forked tongued, snake oil salesman LIAR were to be re-elected! ONLY HOPE is that WE, the PEOPLE, those of US who have WORKED all our lives and PAY taxes are planning on defeating this community agitator on November 6,2012, IN A LANDSLIDE! GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA

I can’t speak for the tax structure for seniors on SS but I can speak for the teenagers and the self-employed. We all pay taxes – regardless of how much we earn. My youngest son got an “internship” between his Jr & Sr years in college. He received $7,000 for 12 weeks of work and paid close to $1,o00 in federal taxes (including the self-employment tax). That was the only income he had for that year. I have worked every year since I was 16 years old. I have received tax refunds but never all of what I paid in – even the years when I was really scraping the bottom I still ended up paying something to the feds (and the state and so on).

The “47%” is another big lie in a campaign that is built on lies.

Looking for that 47 percent Mitt?

First, I would like to remind everyone that the do nothing Republican House still has not passed Obama’s jobs creation bill from a year and a month ago.

Second…One year agoTODAY—- In a White House address President Barack Obama demanded that the richest Americans pay higher taxes to help cut soaring U.S. deficits by more than $3 trillion.

He is still waiting, and the “fiscal ledge” looms while a do nothing Republican Teaparty controlled House sits idley by while the 47% suffer…

One of the best summaries Conason has written:

“Romney said “my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Perhaps that cold remark falls within the category of opinion rather than fact. But does Romney truly believe that a lifelong worker, an impoverished veteran, a struggling student, an elderly widow, or any of the millions of Americans in similar straits don’t merit the concern of the president of the United States?

That ugly sentiment, an insult to every citizen of this country, would be hard to express more “elegantly” without the use of a four-letter word.”

To all you Romney apologists:

Romney won’t be elected, but if some catastrophe befalls the Democrats, and somehow Romney/Ryan/ Koch Brothers et al are elected to the Presidency, this entire planet is “in the tank.”

Another point of history regarding the phrase “in the tank.”

Bush Senior utilized the phrase with clear reference to where it came from in his speech at the Republican National Convention in 1992:

“After all, my opponent’s campaign is being backed by practically every trial lawyer who ever wore a tasseled loafer. He’s not in the ring with them; he’s in the tank.”

In Romney’s case, he’s backed by every Republican fascist billionaires and “Karl Rove “super pacs” that wants to buy our government, and steal the election with voter registration suppression.

Yes—trying to suppress the “47%” Romney so despises.

I have never felt insulted by a presidential candidate until know. I am independent, all members of our family are college educated, working and pay takes. No one has received welfare, unemployment or went to school on the government’s dime. I voted for President Obama because I felt he cared about the greatest majority of people in this country and the world. He is not perfect nor a miracle worker, he has not had much help. We have all worked for people who seem like Governor Romney, they market very well, say they want you to succeed, are vague how, yet you know their primary interest is their own, they will benefit and you will pay the bill. Comes down to who you trust and who you do not.

Can anybody say “George Orwell”? Remember “double-speak”?

According to Mitt Romney 47% of the population is not paying taxes and they are all Democrats who will not support him. Anybody who is a Democrat is a moocher (never mind whether they are students, old people, disabled, or simply cannot find jobs or jobs that pay enough to generate income taxes). This 47%, according to Romney, does not have a sense of personal responsibility and cannot be convinced to assume that responsibility.

HOWEVER: We NYers who live in one of the most expensive states pay MORE taxes to support people who live in the least expensive states. And those people pay fewer taxes. Our state is BLUE, the other ones are RED. Yet, WE are not calling THEM moochers. THEY are calling US moochers. ????

As part of the 53% who is PAYING taxes (double as an independent contractor) I am still part of the 47% who is voting for Obama. After paying all that tax because I am taking personal responsibility and working despite having multiple disabilities, I will absolutely, 100% need social security and medicare—which I believe I am entitled to. (1) I paid MORE into the system percentage-wise than most people. (2) I am more than $100,000 in debt because of high, uncovered medical expenses, so have not been able to save for retirement (which I doubt I will be able to do so I will KEEP ON paying taxes).

In the meantime, I am NOT complaining about supporting all those Republicans who are not paying taxes. Why? Because I believe that those of us who can still work and are fortunate enough to have jobs have a PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to contribute to social programs for people in need (even if they will vote against such benefits).

So, what was that again about the 47%? How is it that some of the 53% are in the 47%? Maybe because we are all part of the 99% who are not rich. Maybe the arithmetic of Romney—a so-called business-smart guy—does not add up.

Now, let’s go over to race, which was not mentioned here. So people like Condoleeza Rice and Herman Cain will not pay taxes and vote for Obama? So will Marc Rubio and the children of Jeb Bush? According to Romney, they won’t because of their ethnicities.

And this white lady who is 63.5, according to Romney will vote for him? I’m paying taxes. I’m white? I’m older.

I don’t THINK so. . . .! Not gonna happen! NOT!

Romney jut finished a $50,000 a plate fund rasing dinner in Dallas last evening.

Along with his 1% supporters was T. Boone Pickens.

Real Median Household Income in Texas

2010 1 Year Change 3 Year Change

US $50,046 -1.97% -6.20%

Texas $48,615 -0.90% -2.77%

Let them (the people) eat cake!

These people ARE OUT OF TOUCH with the midddle class!

YepTellThat, Learn to read and don’t tell me what I think. Those who get withholding refunds often pay tax. They don’t get 100% back. Do you deny that those who pay no taxes are not motivated by tax cuts?
Furthermore, it is the media, not Romney using terms like “freeloaders” and “moochers”. If you have no ability to discern what is said from what is spun, then I can see why you support Obama.

Let’s get to the elephant is the room. When Mitt was hiding his money off shore in Switzerland, the Caymans, and Bermuda did he or did he not pay taxes on the interest? We will never know that question because he has such contempt for the American people he won’t release them. He could for all we know have the same attitude as Leonia Helmsley who said “only little people pay taxes’, as she tried to write off her girdle.
Romney considers himself to be an American aristocrat, who has no idea about the struggles of the working poor. This is why he says very flipently, that he would do away with programs such as Head start, and Pell grants. These programs, which are a pimple on a elephants ass in terms of federal expendures, help working mothers by providing Pre school to lower income families, and college assistance to young people who don’t want a welfare check but want a career, and know that they need higher education. We have a crisis in innner city education where the kids already start school academically behind their counterparts in surban districts, and head start helps end this dispariety. The right wing is attacking the very programs that are trying to end the welfare sate that they scream about.
The red states are the ones on the dole. All these tea party type that live there should take a Norquist like pledge that they will reduce their dependence on the federal government and pay their own way. Let the people in south that march around with signs about ending the nanny state culture practice what they preach. Start by sacraficing. Isn’t that what they want the rest of us to do?

I think mitt romdey needs to go and hide under a rock this man does not have a clue he talks about people who are not paying taxes he doesnot pay any taxes and hidding his money in other countries he really is a very stupit person. I am a working american and you do have working people a lot of them and sometimes you do need a little help. and what he said about the 47% that goes to show you he is only for the rich and latter for everyone else this is not the man to run this counrty he is a biogt. If it was not for those GOPS this counrty would not be the way it is George Bush did a lot of harm to america stealing for himself and his other rich friends that’s all that they do those GOPS are not for everyone

Wait

If you think this is the last of RoMoney stepping on his own toes, think again. There are still seven more weeks left for Mittens to further screw up his chances at even out doing that dynamic duo of McCain-Palin in 2008.

Question from this writer is “Where does the former GOP find these clowns who believe the electorate is as stupid as they think.” In the good old days, we had to wait for the excitement of the debates to make our final decision, but with this current pair the debates will only be the icing on the cake.

It’s a good thing Ryan still has his senate campaign going since the only way he will see the White House is from the tourist tour line. Note that RoMoney has not been invited to “campaign” for Ryan.

I see it as a result of discrimination – Those elderly whites – especially men – just can’t stand the fact that a black man is our commander and chief.

Perhaps the Democratic Party should push for new voter registration laws that would eliminate anyone over say 65 or 70 from being able to vote – after all they probably shouldn’t have a say in who should run our country since they probably won’t be around long enough to be affectedd.

I even heard one young white girl age 11 from a very affluent family say out loud that we can’t have a black man for president during the last election – all in front of one of her figure skating coaches who incidently was of black decent. I wonder how she obtained her point of view?

Even my Father-In-Law age 89 can not be pursuaded to vote for the best candidate, I know it’s because he sees the President as a black man even though he don’t come out a say it. I guess it’s because he’s polish – oh there I go discriminating myself.

We need to convince people to vote for the best person for the job – regardless of color or party affiliation. Plain and simple. And any one with an IQ greater than a meatball should choice Barrack Obama and not a nut job like Romney.

This will be the dirtiest campaign we will ever see. We thought the Nixon election was.

karinursala’It is u the IDIOT anyone who would vote for this marxist-maoist muslim shill is a TRAITOR to this Great Constitutional Republic! 4 more years of this “commrade” we will be part of commie china, with that fetid fool as Vice Chairman of the Peoples Republic of the United States!U vote him in U DESTROY AMERICA!

Romney’s recent comments are not surprising to us in Massachussetts. Romney is not one of us – the ordinary people. Romney lived swimming in pools of money as a child; he never took public transits like us; he calls anybody that is not rich “lazy”; he does not pay correct taxes and avoids payment of taxes at all until time to run for office; he destroyed records in Massachussetts Governor’s office to hide his crooked means; he outsourced American jobs to exploit cheap labor; launders money offshore; took away his and his father’s wealth from Michigan to cover his tracks to Cayman Island, Swiss Bank, Ireland, India and China; said his own hometown – Detroit should go bankrupt; Romney now accuses 47% Americans of not paying any taxes but he does not call out himself as the chief tax evader. Romney says if he was born Hispanic he may have won the presidency; Romney calls ordinary Americans “Welfare Victims” who will vote Obama nomatter what. I told you guys long ago that Romney’s candidacy is a visit of daddy-long-legs in America. Romney donated lots of money to defend Warren Jeff who raped several underage girls in Mormon church. He tells minimum of three lies before the cock crows; he wants to protect Donald Trump and others but to throw you and me under the bus; He wants to deport Hispanics for political interests; he is a disaster in International diplomacy; wants to limit women rights like mormon church does; wants to close ministry of education and create department of Tax Cut for the rich. Romney will sink America if elected.

U below ALWAYS pull the race card when u have nothing to go on but a marxist-maoist muslim shill of a president who is DESTROYING our Great Constitutional Republic! Barack Obama has set race relations back to before the 1950′s! He has DIVIDED US more than any one man on earth! The Great Martin Luther King is turning over in his grave seeing Obama destroy ALL the GOOD he did! U r a gd racist, and I say it as did the racist, America hating Rev. Wright, who said gd America over and over again! Un-American commies., ALL of U!
