Remember during the election where Romney told his contributors that there was 47% of Americans who will not vote for him no matter what. To get the most of their money he was going to spend the campaign contributions to talk to people who are open minded enough to hear what he had to say. This was smart because why would anyone spend money on something or someone that can not be changed. Those 47% knew he was right, they knew they would never vote for him but they got offended.
Now we have 3 scandals, each having their own set of serious issues. Yet there are still people who are still defending the Obama administration.
Yea, just like Romney said, they will vote for Obama no matter what. It would have been a waste of campaign money to talk to people who had their mind made up in Obama's favor. And he was right.
Let the attacks begin.
I'll be sure to adopt a similar attitude when some scandal inevitably develops under the next Republican administration.
You act like your group of thugs is any better...what a joke.

How'd that work out?
A little lesson in math... 100 - 47 = 53, obviously Romney's $992 million didn't do much to convince even those who weren't part of that 47% (assuming errantly that of that 47% 100 percent voted for Obama).
I've followed Romney for a long time, so there was no way I was voting for Romney. However my single vote clearly didn't swing the election. I do believe the attitude among Republicans that 47% of the country are parasites went a long way towards turning off those voters who could have been persuaded to vote for Romney.
A parasite is an organism that lives off a host and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. CDC - Parasites
So you want people to pay even more taxes as other Americans contribute nothing or very little. Then you call that fair. Then you expect people who work for that money but have to pay it to people who refuse to work not to be p**sed?

I would hope that a person running for President would realize that 47% of the country are not parasites.
Go ahead keep claiming that Romney was right; you will find Romney's assertion to be self fulfilling.

Oh so there was a chance in hell that you would have voted for him? Of course not so why waste campaign money on you. He said it like it was and you didn't like it.
Oh, you just wanted to see him pander to you. He was too smart to waste his money pandering to people who would never vote for him and has too much class to pander in the first place.

Considering that 61% of that 47% work for a living adding to the profits of those who do pay taxes, along with some 22% who are retirees, and an additional 8% or so who work and know how to take advantage of the services of competent tax preparers it would be, as you point out, an ill-advised position to take.

uhm, we are talking about the 47% who would never have voted for Romney. A smart person knows not to waste money trying to accomplish something that can not be accomplished. You would not vote for him so why waste campaign money on you?

I already admitted there was no way I was voting for Romney, because I had followed his political career and how he handled himself. I stopped taking Romney seriously in 2007 when he accused Obama of wanting to teach kindergartners about sex. Of course he was speaking to social conservative audiences at the time so I'm sure he meant it and wasn't just pandering.
His 47% remark was based on the belief that his "job is not to worry about those people—I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Romney and I guess you actually believe that 47% of the country don't take personal responsibility or care for their lives. 47%, unbelievable! Keep it up though, let everyone know what you think of nearly half the country.

His 47% was based on how he was going to spend campaign money. Why throw money trying to change something that will not change. He said it like it was and all the thin skinned couldn't take it.
