Romney is counting on the poor white trash he is making fun of to vote for him. And the good news is likely half of them will.

She had 5 children lived with a man that was the father of 3 of the kids they never married, he worked under the table. She used meth and died at the age of 38, never worked a day in her life, she said she would lose her welfare if she worked.

I thought Christians believed in not judging others? Didn't Jesus have a saying about judging others?? I have nothing against true Christians, it's the frauds that deserve the bashing.
So when Christians speak out against fraud thats judging, but you can judge others for seeing the problem of people who don't work and use others to pay their cell phone and cable bills???

I see you really don't even know what a true Christian is, you just think you do............

Well no kidding. Everything the man says is turned into some sor tof misleading counter factual statement by you obama supporters. It doesn't matter what is said. That is all you folks do. Its like comedy central watching you folks try and a) vilify romney and b) excuse anything and everything Obama does.

It's actually good that Romney said these things. His words are representative of how most Republicans view their fellow Americans - with disdain.

It's well known and documented that Mitt Romney needs to lie on the campaign trail to people to attempt to get votes. However, this was a fundraiser where people like him were in attendance so it's frightening that he is still pandering to people he knows are going to vote for him. This also shows that he actually believes his lies. Even if what he said weren't incredibly stupid he still said incredibly ignorant things.

Mitt Romney doesn't care about you, he cares about the wealthy.

Romney uses lies like these while he's campaigning to force false propaganda on potential voters and that's beyond pathetic. This was a private fundraiser where people were going to vote for him regardless (the kind that he was complaining about) so the fact that he used the same lines just shows how delusional he is. Then he goes and talks about what he considers is okay to base your decisions on who to vote for and some are ridiculously stupid.

Mitt wants money and his way. If he can get that he doesn't care what happens to the lower and middle classes.

Just the other day, someone started a thread about having qualified for financial aid and Pell grants so she could return to college after having raised her kids and every single response was positive and full of congratulations - even though almost without exception the responders were known Romney supporters, even though Paul Ryan's budget, which Romney says he supports, would greatly diminish Pell grants.

But, you know, as long as they get theirs..........
I like your post, I agree.

The Republican party calling is "I've got mine, screw-you."

I never heard Mitt so lucid, so self-assured, so AUTHENTIC. No corny jokes, no reciting "America the Beautiful", no stumbling over his words, no pause for effect while rolling his eyes, no contradictions, no talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Just a hateful, spiteful, spoiled-rotten corporate "Master of the Universe " spouting the disgusting crap I hear all the time from Republicans, where ever two or more of them are gathered.

Here was Romney, in his element, surrounded by his "peers", saying exactly what he thinks of half the country he wants us to think he's fit to lead.

And BOY was it ever ugly!
Wow...

Wow...

Wow...

You really never cease to amaze me.

After this sh*t storm today, there's no way that poor states like Mississippi or West Virginia should vote for Romney. But they will "cuz Obama's a Muzzlum"
