"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what."
-Mitt Romney
He spoke the truth, you just didn't like hearing the truth. He wanted to put policies in place to lower the 47% (more jobs). More people would be working, more paying taxes. Obama's way didn't work, if it did he wouldn't have to be out there demanding higher taxes.
“Obama presidency is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

I really don't think 47% of the people in the country believe they are victims. If Republicans want to run a candidate who believes that them I'm all for it.
In case you missed it, tax revenues are way up and the number of people with jobs has been on a multi-year upward trend.

So everyone on Medicare are all moocher Democrats?

Our unemployment numbers are still quite high. Many if not most jobs have been going to "immigrants" not citizens. Many of our citizens are working part time or are underemployed and working for low wages.

I have no idea whether the 47% who don't pay Federal Income Taxes "think they are Victims" or not.
I expect they don't - but does it matter? What does matter is that 47% (as of 2012) don't pay into our Federal Income Tax system AND that is dangerous for our entire system.
50%+ that become a member of the "taker class" and accept the Charity of the Payer Class is a danger in any Society or System of Government. That is a reality.
Margaret Thatcher had it correctly - "Eventually you run out of other people's money"
Meh...his dad earned it and by all accounts was an honorable man.
Mitt is a decent man too I'm sure...I just don't want him anywhere near the White House.
I liked his dad. I'm sure Mitt is a good man, as well. The comment was directed at the member with "free stuff on the brain."
