His own people have starting bailing...
This should make the peoples decision very easy come NovemberFunny/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 don't see what was wrong with what he said. It's true.
It goes for both sides, there are people dead set on their vote no matter what.
I'm liberal, but give props to Romney for at least being honest.
For every lazy liberal there are plenty of hard working selfless liberals to make up for it and make things better.
For every hard working conservative, there's a handful of white trash conservatives who will hide behind the handouts they receive, and pretend they have conservative values, while they lie, cheat, steal and pray to cover their asses.0 -

your a pragmatist, good on you. however the "my team vs their team" bullshit will not play well. He basically doubled down again last night at that bizarro press conference. He's giving approx 50% of our voting population a big fuck you.
and to the simpletons that compare this to obama's 'guns and religion' comment. go find a google machine and turn to page 2 (of that transcript-ed speech) where he says he will be visiting them on the campaign trail to listen and win them over.San Diego Sports Arena - Oct 25, 2000

That's not what he said.
He said that all democrats and anyone who will vote for the president are a bunch of lazy people who only want handouts. He said that the only people who have jobs and want to work are Republicans or people who will consider voting for him.
It shows how clueless he is about America. Equating half of the whole country with a bunch of moochers and leaches and welfare bums. Saying that ANYONE who voted for the president feels the government should give them food and housing and health care.
Clearly not true. But it's also obnoxious and dismissive and shows that to him, being the president just means catering to the "rich" people who could consider voting for him. He makes it clear that he doesn't give a shit about anyone who has a lower income and thinks they're just a burden to he and his billionaire buddies.
AND it shows that as a president, he would do nothing to create jobs... he'd do nothing to help the working class and doesn't feel it's his job... his job is to make it so the richer people can get richer.
Most of the people in that ROOM pay little to no income tax and it's not secret that states with more "rich" people are usually the "Blue" states.
Which to me is always odd when I hear Republicans whining about the mega-million fund raisers that are held for the Democratic party in Hollywood, The Hamptons, New York or Seattle.0 -

I don't think the dems will to be honest. Republicans, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Pretty telling of the standing of a party that they aren't running away with this considering the state of the country.
ya ... which makes it even less inflammatory in my opinion ...
oh the dems will talk stupid shit too ... because unfortunately for americans - morons aren't a partisan phenomenon ... but yeah - like i've been saying ... it's pretty disturbing to think that mitt is the best the GOP could produce but then again when you spend 4 years basically trying to derail the president and have abosolutely zero interest in the american people - it's not that surprising ...

Add to the list of Bat shit crazy candidates. I can't keep track of them all. For all the wackos they wanted, they had to settle for Romney, the least wacky of the bunch0 -

It's clear these votes are going to the candidate who is providing for them.
It also comes down to very basic ideologies too ...
some want a government who takes care of them.
Problem is we can't afford it.
The more people being provided for the more people who want that too...
fair share entitled.
As far as Obama's campaign words ...
he is a great speech giver, inspires trust and confidence.
Believing in him though at this point must rely on his record and where the country is
under his leadership.
I'm still a fence sitter someone whom it seems Romney is directing his words too....
Independent moderates...
one definition...
"A liberal believes that government can be used to alleviate social ills.
A conservative holds that individuals are responsible for their own situation, and government should not be involved.
A moderate holds an intermediate position between liberal and conservative."
LikeAnOcean...
perfectly said, non biased and insightful. :thumbup:0 -

Not one democrat here disagrees with personal responsibility. What we dont agree with is stereotyping half the country into lazy dependent moochers when that is clearly not the case. Not only is it ignorant, it's incredibly idiotic. read David brooks or David frums article, both great take from real conservatives, not the bullshit the GOP tries to pass as conservative theses days.
My 101 grandfather, lazy fucking mooch, doesn't pay taxes and will vote democrat.0 -

I agree Cliffy, we all have personal responsibility even in the face of adversity in these economic times. I was unemployed for some time years ago and could've gotten unemployment but chose NOT to. Survived, not sure why i did that but i kept myself busy doing other things had I been working. Finally got the job I wanted without any dependency on our government and yes I am a Democrat....one who proudly didn't vote for Obama the first time but surely will come November.
