Anyone else think it's interesting that Romney says his advisers worked for Netanyahu?
Oh Mittens not your foot in mouth again

he is claiming 47% of americans pay no income taxes and take no personal responsibility for themselves.
median income is at $50k, are you going to suggest to me that someone making $50k a year pays no income taxes, takes no personal responsibility, and is only in it for welfare?
pure mental retardation if you actually think that.

did you see him out there trying to defend his remarks?
to paraphrase, he said they 'weren't eloquently stated'.
how do you eloquently state that half the nation are lazy, parasitic bums?
romney is sounding like beenthere now.

I want to hear the whole thing... not some bits a pieces. I need to hear the whole content before condemning anyone.
But, that's me.
I swear we are becoming like those idiots in the middle east.
Reactive without the whole facts. Easy to whip up into a frenzy.
That goes for Dems, Reps, Ind, and what ever political party you align with..

You know what... I hate both nominees. I think romney is to extremely right and obama too left. Its a shame that we cant have a president that is who he is. That he can be somewhere in the middle. Right now its seems the lesser of each evil. Kind of sad america.
I know there are alot of smart sane people that could get this country back to where it needs to be, were it should be with out the stupid politics that are destroying our country.

I must have face palmed a dozen times while he blundered through that "press conference."

it was a good explanation though, although that won't make the words he said or the contempt with which he said them go away.
he was talking inside baseball. he was basically saying that he would not focus on the dems and instead go for the indies.
too bad he called half the independents he was reaching out to lazy, good for nothing, mooches.
i saw this earlier today and didn't think it would get legs, but boy was i wrong.

As well as most of his values voter base.
Because we've shifted so far to the right that a Rockefeller republican is now Karl Marx.

"And I mean the president starts off with 48, 49, 4... he starts off with a huge number....."
I didn't catch that Mitt. What comes after 49? Maybe you should take your shoes off so you can count higher than 10.
edit: Wow... this is getting juicy. The event where Mitt was speaking was at the home of a man worth about 8 billion dollars and throws lavish parties and fund raisers. I guess this includes orgies and sex acts. Oh, Mitt. When the faithful hear about this.... tsk tsk tsk.

The 47% number seems to be very deceiving. To imply people who don't pay income tax tend to vote republican (EDIT: oops, I mean democrat), well, just cause you say it doesn't make it true.
Also, seeing as I don't care who really wins, I find this whole thing pretty amusing. Especially about not being Mexican, love it!

Curious, in your opinion what does help society? How would roads be paid for it there were no taxes? (please don't go all keyboard warrior on me, serious question)
