Oh, my. Several people who have heard the full 47% quote tell me they are not likely to vote for Romney. Especially some friends living on modest, mostly SS benefits in their old age.

Let me see if I have this straight: ROMNEY is a phony?

I’m afraid that this joker is caught on the wrong side of the looking-glass.

By the time his daddy died, Mitt was already filthy rich. So, he signed over his relative pittance of an inheritance to fund the George W. Romney Institute of Public Management at Brigham Young U.

As Reince Priebus wrote:

As Romney told a C-SPAN interviewer in 2006:

"I did get a check from my dad when he passed away. I shouldn’t say a check, but I did inherit some funds from my dad. But I turned and gave that away to charity. In this case I gave it to a school which Brigham Young University established in his honor. ... And that’s where his inheritance ended up."

Why did he give the money away?

"I figured we had enough of our own," he said.

Zucker has partaken of too much Obama cocktail! One sip and you become a bumbling, rambling idiot who focuses solely on repeating the fraudulent tales of MSNBC and completely ignor and shortcomings or screw-ups of our current White House occupant. The cocktail is habit forming and paid for by your tax dollars....please pray that Mitt wins big....I don’t want the Obama lawyers slowing down the Eject Obama Express!

A silly Liberal rant—watch out, more like him in MSM will be hitting Mitt when he wins—anything he does will be seen as a negative “Rich Guy” with no soul. In truth many Liberals will be glad to see Obama Gone. He failed them too.

Whatever money Mitt Romney inherited from his father (and promptly gave away to charity) probably wouldn't be enough to even restock the Kennedy wine cellar on Martha's Vineyard.

Remind me where the Kennedy clan got their money.

Liars, reprobates, and sociopaths are generally the folks who accuse others of the very tactics they themselves plan to use. They are so adept at it, they cannot comprehend or recognize the literal truth even when it is standing right in front of them! Or that someone else would conduct themselves in a humble and god-fearing manner. This is the face and work of true evil! But this battle belongs to the LORD!!!!

I heard the entire quote, and it’s meaning was obvious to me, so the fact it’s that people are deliberately distorting the meaning. He clearly meant that he was not concerned in their VOTES, because he was never going to change their mind.

Anyone STARTING OUT with a quote from the Eugenist GEORGE BERNARD SHAW who personally believed in the EXTERMINATION OF THE “SOCIALLY INCOMPATIBLE is already “suspect” from the start.

“The notion that persons should be safe from extermination as long as they do not commit willful murder, or levy war against the Crown, or kidnap, or throw vitriol, is not only to limit social responsibility unnecessarily, and to privilege the large range of intolerable misconduct that lies outside them, but to divert attention from the essential justification for extermination, which is always incorrigible social incompatibility and nothing else.”

Source: George Bernard Shaw, “On the Rocks” (1933), Preface.

USE OF GAS CHAMBERS

“We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment …

A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people’s time to look after them.”

Source: George Bernard Shaw, Lecture to the Eugenics Education Society, Reported in The Daily Express,March 4, 1910.

KILLING THOSE “UNFIT TO LIVE”

“The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?”

Source: George Bernard Shaw, Prefaces (London: Constable and Co., 1934), p. 296.

Not much of anything surprises me these days. When I was in Tahoe, there were more sheiks there than there were in Saudi Arabia. It was very uncomfortable. They do like American women and they are obnoxious about it.
