For people to get so upset about Romney using a "statistic" is ridiculous and they got upset because they were manipulated by the liberal media just like they were manipulated to get upset over "binders of woman". People are cheap and easy.
Hey now. Outlandish statements can only be used to stereotype people when said people don't vote the way others here petch, and/or when they have more melanin.
I hope the OP isn't disabled or retired, otherwise he's insulting himself.
Well once again the republicans allow the democrats to paint a picture of them and they say something stupid to support the picture drawn. Be it Romney is out of touch with the average citizen or Republicans hate women (legitimate rape claim) the republicans have been more than willing to dive on that sword.
Romney’s comments was about how people veered from ethic of hard work and self-reliance to an entitlement system that are often undeservedly.
Separate the needy from the freeloaders. Sadly, Obama have politicized every effort to discuss solutions. Obama has greatly increased entitlement spending. He has doubled the funding for Pell Grants and expanded the number of recipients by 50 percent; welfare spending now costs almost $1 trillion annually.
Romney could have used better language, but his fundamental point that far too many Americans are dependent on government assistance — is true.

Again, the freeloaders hiding behind the disabled and children is pathetic.

He also would have been wise to exclude SS retirees, veterans, and the disabled from the statement. 47% includes ALL of the aforementioned.
So while he was an idiot in terms of tone, he was also an idiot not to separate those who could help themselves from those we should be willing to support.
Mittens brought to life why Jindal's comments were so spot on. The uneducated rural wing nut fringe loves the over the top, but totally pointless tone. I guess it is the only meaning in their tragic lives. That tone simply drives more voters away, and aids the opposition in electing the big one..POTUS.
It's called a MEME. The DumDumocrats get fired up by saying things like "Rmoney is an idiot" and "Dick Cheney is going to be tried for war crimes".
It's just the DumDumocrats firing up their base..........the Netroots is extremely powerful and effective.
Look for SOS-Fatbutt to take it in 2016!!!!!!!!!!
