This chart shows that younger voters voted in very high numbers for Obama and the older voters voted for McCain.
When someone is 20 years old and still in college, they are too young to be earning the kind of money that a 55 year old will earn. That 20 year old might be in school to be an MD but they only earned $5000 that year working part-time as an intern during the summer.
A bunch of younger voters are going to be low earners because many are still in school and others are in their first jobs that start out with lower pay. It doesn't mean they are janitors and bus drivers for their profession.
The actual difference is that Obama's words were never actually reported by the media and Romney's haven't been allowed to die by the same people. Oh there is a lot of difference for those reasons.
NBC news sure as hell did not lead off their broadcast night with 0bama's "bitter, clinger" comments, and have probably never addressed them to this day.
It actually showed most income ranges to vote for Obama.

a lot of people are making low end wages because of this 0bama economy, a lot of college students are living with their parents after graduation too, and stuck with those student loans.
A great many people in So. Dak make under $75,000 a year and we have been a red state forever, just as most of the south is where the income is even lower than here. For you to imply that the 47% only vote democrat is idiocy.
And yes, I did read the link, but responded to the question that was asked in the thread title. Was the comment bad? According to your source, maybe not, but according to the polls, yes.
It is past time for you to read the link in the OP. Reading my thread titles and basing everything on them is not good business as many of the left leaners here can attest to. However, those who make the loudest noises about this never, and I mean never, read any of the links I post. I pretty surely know why that is, too.
I read your link and it is fairly vapid. I think many people have read your link and they just don't think much of it. Can't you accept that? You do this in every thread. You think you've found some profound statement and they are just big letdowns. The guy isn't really saying much. He talks about a social contract. As I said "no argument there." What he doesn't discuss is that Romney did a disservice to many people in the 47%.

Not to worry. The Romney supporters are dragging it out again. They've got nothing else and the polls are NOT looking good.
So we'll all hear about the Bitter Clingers because Romney is running the most inept campaign in presidential history and Bitter Clingers is one of the straws they're grasping at.

You're right. It's far better just to skip your threads altogether.
This comment is still being talked about, of course it is bad.
As for the Aussie admiring Romney, those comments were made for high earning donors, not the general public, so what does that say about Romney's bold honesty? If this tape had never come to light Romney would likely never had said anything about those 47% moochers. That doesn't sound very bold to me.

Was Romney's 47% comment so really bad?
