His own people have starting bailing...
This should make the peoples decision very easy come November
Funny/sad thing is, he still has a chance to win. Kind of a bummer how many people are willing to vote against their own best interests.

I am actually in compete and utter shock. How can a president possibly have that much disdain for "47%" of the people? Sickening actually.

Sounds like there is more to come

These are people who pay no income tax.

Every time this guy opens his mouth I respect him less. Railing against people for not paying taxes! YOU DON'T PAY TAXES, MITT!!!

before this gets too far down, did this video change anyone's mind about Mitt? My guess is this will do nothing to change anyone's mind. The people who find/post stuff on Obama were never going to vote for him, and the people who find/post stuff on Mitt were never going to vote for him.


He clearly has some bad numbers, but what about this is surprising to people? The exact words maybe weren't used before, but the message has always been there.

I guess this is what happens when you have no fucking clue how 99% of people live.

You're right, I was never going to vote for him and yes, this was clearly how he has felt all along, but to me it just shows and unbelievable contempt for the poor in our country. He's disgusted with them regardless of their situation solely because they are poor.

And fuck him saying nothing was given to him. Um your fucking education, you asshole. An eduction millions don't have access to because they are poor

I'd hope Obama pumps this in ads in poor rural areas.

I think this will close alot of independents and people who weren't fully decided to turn of him completly. this could be a big turning point

It is very ironic that the 99% feel so helpless yet they vote Democratic every year. Why is Gary, Indiana a dump after so many decades? COuld it have anything to do with Democratic politicians they elect every year? The Democrats don't care about people, they care about dependency on government and power.

Republicans - you make your destiny
Democrats - government makes your destiny

This country was founded on people being able to control their own destiny. Romney is correct that there are a huge amount of voters who just want handouts from government, and there is nothing he can say to change that.

It is very sad that there is so much dependency on goverment. We'll never get a leader elected who can fix problems because there are so many people who blindly vote based on handouts. Social security is going bankrupt. Medicare/Medicaid is going bankrupt. We need leaders who will make tough decisions to fix these programs, but we don't have the people that will vote for those leaders because they think they are entitled to everything for free.

So how do you explain the 100's of cities, counties, towns, etc... That always vote republican and stay in the shitter?

Thanks for the laugh.

So every week when I get my check and I see money taken out for Medicare and Social Security, when I am older and use those programs I should consider it a handout from the government?

Am I shocked he said this? No.

I will attempt to be bipartisan here:

It may, it may not, but you can be sure this WILL be topic of conversation for more than a few days, if not weeks. That in itself is devastating to a candidate that has been criticized across the aisle about not being specific enough about HIS policies. He's got 50 something days left and is offering golden soundbytes to the left about writing off 47% of the vote?

I can honestly say i am not surprised at his candid comments as it will be a leading indicator of how he will lead approx 50% of the populous if elected.

If Gary Indiana is a shithole because of liberals, please explain the whole state of Mississippi, the most conservative state in the union.

If that is really his attitude towards half the population, he is a very dangerous man to have as President.... it makes him look kind of evil and sick too, which doesn't help. :?

Not that I can vote, but it honestly made me think he's a much bigger asshole than j thought he was before seeing that. It really is a shitty, mean-spirited attitude, as well as scary. It literally tells me that he has no intention of even giving the needs and wants of a lot of people a second thought. And it tells me that his notion of those on welfare, those who are liberal, those who are poor, those who are sick and not well off, those who voted for Obama are 1) all the same, and 2) lazy leeches?? 47% of the country? Woooow. I have never had a good opinion of him, but I never thought he was maliciously disdainful of the poor until now, or so deluded to think that everyone who voted for Obama simply wants hand outs. :? That is fucked up shit.

No.
But you should be pissed that you will only get out a fraction of what you put in.
That is, if you get anything out at all.

They are already sending out letters telling you that your payments will be reduced (i started getting these letters when i was 25) ... "don't worry, Social Security will still be around, but payments will probably be reduced..."

lol.
great system.

I was referencing the people that identify themselves as the 99%, the ones out protesting. I don't think 99% of the population was out protesting or feeling sorry for themselves.
