Pues... Larry Send a noteboard - 18/09/2012 05:25:24 AM
The same hidden camera that caught him dismissing 47% of voters as Obama voters beneath his consideration also caught him saying that (see link.)

Then, of course, there is the spectacle of Romney guaranteeing his opponent at least 47% of the vote (whatever his explanation.)


One twitter account seems to think otherwise ;)

P.S. I could have talked about how this was recorded at a party thrown by a sex party-hosting fundraiser, but that's just only an amusing aside :P

Unemployment is either the fault of people too lazy to work, or Obamas fault. Joel - 18/09/2012 05:28:26 AM 390 Views
That's... actually a cogent point. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/09/2012 09:11:07 AM 187 Views

You would be surprised how well that does NOT work. Joel - 18/09/2012 03:13:23 PM 386 Views
Well, that's not exactly the point, and I think you know it. nossy - 18/09/2012 05:24:48 PM 385 Views
In terms of employment, it really is, inescapably. Joel - 18/09/2012 09:48:28 PM 496 Views
Nope. nossy - 18/09/2012 10:29:50 PM 374 Views
Even granting the first part, extending unemployment insurance 6 months=/=4 years of 8% unemployment Joel - 19/09/2012 12:06:15 AM 447 Views
Actually, there was one other Obama "entitlement:" He gave out a lot of small business loans. Joel - 18/09/2012 10:01:45 PM 337 Views
That's not really the point though, is it? Nebhead - 18/09/2012 09:41:52 AM 402 Views

American politics is a joke. As such, you will see/hear stupid things like this all the time. callandor1000 - 19/09/2012 05:14:56 PM 377 Views
You never did answer my questions in the previous thread Roland00 - 18/09/2012 04:57:20 PM 379 Views
Just from my point of view.... Jeordam - 18/09/2012 05:05:45 PM 347 Views
Hold on there. Everyone should work? And conservatives time and time again talk out their asses. callandor1000 - 19/09/2012 05:04:30 PM 372 Views

You mean he really IS latino! Ohnoes, Obama is DOOOOMED! Joel - 18/09/2012 05:40:21 AM 458 Views
Oh, but do not forget: If you make $200,000-$250,000/year you are also "middle class." Joel - 18/09/2012 06:10:55 AM 450 Views

You are forgetting that Obama only graduated due to the evils of Affirmative Action Stephen - 18/09/2012 05:16:24 PM 419 Views
Lets say I accept that premise of admittance was caused by Affirmative Action Roland00 - 18/09/2012 05:33:13 PM 368 Views

I should note my comment was joking *NM* Stephen - 18/09/2012 10:40:42 PM 206 Views
That first sentence is too long: "If it wasn't due to the safety net George Romney would not lived" Joel - 18/09/2012 10:00:12 PM 405 Views
And we are going to see plenty more of it, it seems snoopcester - 18/09/2012 08:57:45 PM 523 Views
I don't recall him (or any other Republican) advocating a revocation of assistance. Tom - 18/09/2012 11:02:08 PM 400 Views
WE ARE THE 47 PERCENT! moondog - 18/09/2012 03:07:09 PM 387 Views
It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid. Tom - 18/09/2012 10:59:48 PM 392 Views
I guess his is perhaps a true "politically incorrect" comment (much as I hate that phrase)? Larry - 19/09/2012 12:05:48 AM 358 Views
I really don't think he was talking about a situation like that. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:39:15 AM 374 Views
I don't know that it really hurts him that bad. everynametaken - 19/09/2012 12:55:36 AM 398 Views
If it plays okay in Ohio, Virginia and Iowa then you're right. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:40:45 AM 373 Views
