**** Romney, the worst part is that I don't even think he believes what he is saying.Just telling the audience what he thinks they what to hear, as usual. He is a clown who definitely should not be President

Wait, Obama doesn't do that? Oh...
Every politician does that, Not just Romney.
It's pretty true. Math turns most people off. We voted for Obama without any voting record whatsoever and hoped that his charisma would translate into leadership and negotiating ability.I watched some of the other videos on this page. I'll give Mitt Romney credit. He's knows politics and the American public.
This is my favorite, and I think the most powerful quote from those videos,
"Well, I wrote a book that lays out my view for what has to happen in the country, and people who are fascinated by policy will read the book. We have a website that lays out white papers on a whole series of issues that I care about. I have to tell you, I don't think this will have a significant impact on my electability. I wish it did. I think our ads will have a much bigger impact. I think the debates will have a big impact....In a setting like this, a highly intellectual subject—discussion on a whole series of important topics typically doesn't win elections."
[font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]Put simply...he doesn't believe the public cares about issues, or he doesn't believe that a truly intellectual attack on the president would work because it wouldn't resonate with votes. Both of which I'd agree with.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Bitstream Vera Sans, sans-serif]It's sad, because he's probably right...which is why we have straight character-slander ads and don't talk about any issues earnestly until you can get both candidates in a town hall and hash it out.[/font]
Government care (I'm assuming you meant health care is one thing)...but dude came out and said that 47% of America wants free food and housing.I consider myself Independent, lean towards the left, registered Democrat, and I will most likely vote for Obama (again).
However I see no problem with what Mitt Romney said. I'm sure the other 47% of voters are conservative so that leaves around 6% of Independent voters. That makes absolute sense. Whats the issue? I'm sure not all of the 47% of democratic voters are looking for government care but I sure bet most of them are.
^^^ The republican base composes of a lot of poor/lower middle class white southerns that pay no taxes. So he has to know that what he is saying is false

He'll be back tracking tomorrow morning.
Thing is...he sounded like a consultant...and for that, I can't blame him. Hes a goddamn salesman.

That seems like a stretch.
Oh...also...how in the world are 47% of people not paying any taxes. Is that only counting of-age individuals? That seems insane.

It's not about people looking for government hand outs. It's about all those old heads out there that came up believing that if you find a good job, work hard, and save your money you'll be just fine. These people thought of that as the American dream. Now there living in the reality of being forced into early retirement, having their jobs outsourced, having their savings and 401k's being stolen from them be evil greedy business men, etc. To where no matter how hard they worked there entire life they still don't have enough to support themselves. So they have no one to depend on to help them out, but the government.I consider myself Independent, lean towards the left, registered Democrat, and I will most likely vote for Obama (again).

Yea, you're right, some of those people on welfare worked hard and got screwed. However a lot of them didn't so I, myself wouldn't have any sympathy for them as well.It's not about people looking for government hand outs.

Rich Republicans are trying to sell this bad bill of goods that all people needing government assistance are lazy bums that never tried in life. When that is far from the truth. The truth is that some of these people that depend on the government are the older generation that worked hard, and got d***ed in the end by right wing financial gluttonous. That lied cheated and stole their way to wealth.
Romney ain't giving a damn about hearing personal stories on how some of these hard working people ended up depending on the government, because he's a greedy pig like the rest of these money wh***s pimped out by the almighty dollar
