rushmc 23 #28 September 18, 2012 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuote First it was dumb comments about the London Olympics. Then we had his shoot first aim later comments on the Libya embassy. Now we have “There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care of them, who believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you name it,” “That's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. … These are people who pay no income tax. "My job is not to worry about those people, I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." So Romney doesn't care about 47% of US voters. They are tax dodgers. Funny coming from a guy who pays tax at a lower rate than most middle class Obama supporters. Video available He said this not knowing that he was being recorded. I don't know about you, but for me that makes it worse. Clearly the man is too stupid to realize that pretty much ALL comments made anywhere by him are being recorded. At the very least, he needs a security briefing about leaks . . . coming from his own mouth. Of course it is worse for you. You know you are one of those it is said he does not care about Just like Obama does not care about me Truth in politics is refreshing"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

rushmc 23 #29 September 18, 2012 QuoteQuoteQuoteNobody cares. It's about the economy. It proves Romney's an idiot. If he claims that 47% of voters will vote for Obama no matter what, it then means that all Obama has to do is win 3% of the remaining 53% Then this makes Obama an idiot too. It is no different for him"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

"If women feel like they should have the right to decide what happens with their own bodies, then too bad for them." At some point it just becomes "too bad for Romney." Looks like he's reached that point. Wrong, at some point it becomes too bad for America. Wait till the checks start bouncing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #32 September 18, 2012 Clicked on this forum. Saw the title of this thread off to the side. Couldn't see who started it, but I knew from the title who it was. I was right. The comment was clear if you watch the video. It's what every politician does. It's his job as a candidate to not worry about the people whose vote he can not win. It is his job as a candidate to focus on swing voters. He described it just fine. His meaning was clear. Kallend is distorting things again. Other people on this thread are claiming Romney is unintelligent because he told the truth in public. I have no idea how intelligent he is, but his education is beyond reproach and he's done pretty well in life from any obective standpoint. Now, he's honest, too? I don't get the logic. But then, I often don't follow the purported logic of some of the denizens of this forum.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanG 1 #33 September 18, 2012 QuoteOther people on this thread are claiming Romney is unintelligent because he told the truth in public. What people are upset about is that it is not the truth. Everyone likes to throw around the 47% number without thinking about it. IIRC Obama received 53% of the popular vote, or something close. Do you really think that only 6% of the population are both Democrats and pay income tax? Do you really think that 88.7% of Obama supporters pay no income tax, and 100% of McCain supporters do? Everyone talks about Obama trying to incite class warfare, but this statement by Romney is worse than anything Obama has ever said. Not to mention the fact (discussed ad naseum here) that income tax is not the only federal tax. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,027 #34 September 18, 2012 Quote Kallend is distorting things again. How is quoting verbatim, in their entirety, several paragraph's of Romney's speech "distorting" anything?...

kallend 2,027 #35 September 18, 2012 Romney tells us that the Dems are waging class warfare, then along comes a video of him writing off nearly half of the US population.

kallend 2,027 #39 September 18, 2012 QuoteFunny to see how shocked people get when a candidate speaks the truth. So you too believe that 47% of the US voting population, including all Obama supporters, are freeloaders who avoid paying tax and just want government handouts. Your definition of "truth" is rather strange.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That money is non-taxable according to current law. I also get a regular paycheck from my full time professional job. I pay income taxes on that.
