Oh, that whole personal responsibility thing ~ that only applies to OTHER people.

Do we have to submit a form or something? Do we have a catalog to choose from? Since my whole family voted for him, can we get a bigger free thing? My GD is half black and I have a gay cousin. We should get affirmative action points. Do we qualify for a free trip to Disney or something? I want details. I want my free stuff!

I thought Rommey disavowed his "47%" comments? but here he is, basically repeating them, for the same crowd of well-healed donors.

Funny, cuz I always thought that, on the 47% tape, it was the only time during the whole campaign that you could tell Romney was really speaking with conviction. The only time the "real" Romney was on display.

America made the RIGHT CHOICE. I said it a year ago on these boards, and I'll say it again: NOBODY LIKES A PHONEY!
Wait, What? I was suppose to get STUFF?? I voted for President Obama and all I'm getting in return is good governance, an ethical leader and man of integrity - what a rip!!

Mittens' true colors came out during the original 47% video; he tried to deny those comments were his true beliefs, but now we know that him and his other Entitlement Society friends really do believe that we that are the true Earners and Makers are only want stuff. He is slime!!

When I first heard of the video, I thought his statement was being taken out of context- that he was saying he had written them off as far as getting their vote. But then I saw the entire video and it said it all. It was, I think, his undoing. What a hateful, judgmental man. There but for the grace of corporate welfare goes he.

It's behind comments like Mitt's & the rest of the GOP that they'll never see the White House again, at least in my lifetime if I can help it.

Yes, Limbaugh and right-wing media play both sides, depending on the moment.

He reminded me of Queen Victoria. He was not amused.
So, why would he vote for those who hate his "entitlement"? Repubs would do away with all of them, including his, if they get the power.

Dumb Romney didn't know how to read the polls to realize he was likely to lose. He was shocked when he lost even thought the normal polls clearly showed this.

Now Dumb Romney things there is a sudden influx of young voters in 2012 because Obamacare kept young adults on their parents insurance until age 26.

Dumb Romney should learn how to look at data to evaluate trends. He would see that the baby boomers (a large boom in population) now have children that are young adults and many turned 18 and became voters the past 4 years. In a nutshell, there is an influx of young voters BECAUSE there is an influx of young people in the USA. Period. The more young people we have, the more they vote.

Dumn Romney needs to go away. It's been very nice this past week without Dumb Romney. Bye, Bye Dumb Romney.
