Political discussions about everything

I felt chills going up my leg when I heard the tape.
US Republican presidential candidate filmed at fundraising dinner saying Palestinians "have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace," adding Iran would use nuclear capability to blackmail US.

Mitt Romney described almost half of Americans as “people who pay no income tax” and are “dependent upon government.” Those voters, he said, would probably support President Obama because they believe they are “victims” who are “entitled .

Mr. Romney describes how his campaign would not try to appeal to “47 percent of the people” who will vote for Mr. Obama “no matter what.” They are, he says, “dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.”

He says those people “pay no income tax,” and “so our message of low taxes doesn’t connect.” Mr. Romney adds: “My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
It's refreshing to hear someone in politics tell it like it is. For all of you who never take the time to read anything other than the NYT, this is what those of us out here in the real world think as well. Go Mitt.

Yep, Romney was exposed. Another nail in his coffin.
Only a liberal would call the truth a bad thing. Romney was spot on and for am glad he finally did what other politicians are doing, calling a spade a spade!

Yes,

Romney spoke "off the cuff" or more appropriately "from the heart", that is honestly. He revealed the truth, that he hates Americans. He stated that he hates, or more appropriately disdains at least 47% of all Americans. I would not be surprised to find out that his disdains and has no use for over 99% of all Americans.

Why does he want to be President if he hates Americans? What will he do when he only has an interest in the 1%?

Only an idiot would diss 47% of the population and think they will be elected President.

Only idiots would believe that 47% of the population pays ZERO taxes what with the Republicans passing all those tax laws with all those deductions and loopholes and then not admit or realize those people PAID taxes but got refunds because of Republican laws. Not just funny on the surface but all the way to the core of idiot conservatives heartlessness.

The boy should calmly put his pants on and go back into the private sector to send more jobs overseas!

:D
