when a politician tells the truth
Should this have been his Convention speech?
From Video:
For the past three years, all everybody’s been told is “don’t worry, we’ll take care of you.”
How are you going to do it? In two months before the elections to convince everybody you’ve got to take care of yourself?
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’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…
And I mean the president starts off with 48, 49 … he starts off with a huge number. These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax.
So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. So he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean that’s what they sell every four years.
And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. What I have to convince the five to ten percent in the center that are independents that are thoughtful, that look at voting one way or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not….” [video cut off]
So that is supposed to be Romney’s clinging bitterly to their guns and religion moment? The Progs are on fire with this today.
Yeah.
So long as Mitt doesn’t walk back his comments — or gawd fahbid apologize for them — I think this’ll reach some folks.
And spread the divide another step…
The Prog Kerfluffle has to convince these people:
This is his “walk-back”:
“The president believes in what I’ve described as a government-centered society, where government plays a larger and larger role, provides for more and more of the needs of the individuals,” Romney said in Orange County, Calif. “I happen to believe instead in a free enterprise, free individual society where people pursuing their dreams are able to employ one another, build enterprises, build the strongest economy in the world.”
There’s something to build on, Mitt. Go, Mitt, GO!!
Both comments and trackbacks are currently closed.

Nature mirrors his original remark.
Don’t feed the Bears. They become dependent and lazy.
If you stop feeding they eat you.
Sounds familiar.
Eeexcellent!
I also hope he stands his ground on this truth.
Yep,
Traditional Americanism is blasphemy to Progs.
No, not blasphemy.
Oh, what’s the word?
Oh, yeah … racist.
So 67% of Dems think the government should do more. An interesting followup question would be “Are you willing to pay more in taxes to enable the government to do more?”.
How much of a drop do you think you’d see?
That’s the problem with Dems. As long as someone else is paying for it they’re on board.
OPM, baby. OPM.
It’s about time. Mitt must have been listening to some of my fundraising calls from back in the day. I’ve been staying that about Obama’s supporters forever. This is a no-lose for Romney. The only people he pissed off were the media and those who ain’t voting for him anyway, but I repeat myself.
Same for what he said about the Palestinians not being interested in peace. Bingo.
Lock ‘n’ load, Mitt
Speaking truth to power (take note Hillary) heh.
Speaking of rolling it back: I heard Uhbama/Holder *spit* are negotiating with Egypt to turn the Blind Sheik loose. If I had my druthers, I’d hang him in public and dump his body off the tailgate of a truck in front of CAIR or Muzzie Brotherhood Headquarters, and let the riots begin. More dead muzzie fanatics. That’s a good thing.
How come Gallup didn`t point out how many of the people they polled are TAX PAYERS? I mean——DUHHH
Please Mr Romney don’t step in their crap– let them walk in their own!!
The lying SOB’s are scaring the shit our of everyone— heard the seniors are all worried that Mitt is going to make them pay taxes on their SS and disability SS— because he hates people who don’t pay taxes—– The Prince of fools has his fools so afraid they’ll vote for him for sure. Please Please get this over with!!!
Nothing new here:
Mitt Romney, March 2012, in broad daylight: “If you’re looking for free stuff, vote for the other guy”
Remember when I said his campaign slogan should be FREEEE in stead of Forward. (Act–U –a– leeee)— it should be Forward to Backward and than lie your ass of and try to cover it– which for the Hill– takes awhile– there’s a lot to cover there—-
