You mean that very same 47-49% that will invariably vote to keep their addiction to dependency an ongoing process? What does that say about the direction of America in general? Pathetic. =.=
Hogwash.
Go take another look at the "Julia" cartoon and tell me the above statement is true.
Obama is struggling to close the deal and gets about 47% in the polls on and off again depending on what is going on. I think this Romney Gaff may have been Obama’s planned “October Surprise” trying to finally get above Romney and gain momentum in the polls. I wonder if this isn’t Obama’s last big shot at winning.This tape will distract from the terrorist attack on the Embassy in Libya and the Death of our Ambassador there! Obama’s spin on it being a demonstration that got out of hand that was touted all weekend is collapsing as the President of Libya (a government Obama helped install), eye witnesses, and Libyan security forces all paint a much more plausible picture of what happened than the Obama administration spin Machine has come up with. In order to allow a distraction for the median and regain control of the news cycle Obama has put this recording out!
See here’s a truth:
We are outsourcing all our jobs. Too many.
We have nearly reached a point of change. Once we outsource more than half our jobs, we reach a point of breaking our experiment.
Done.
That is the flaw. Our outsourcing, will kill America.
We need to stop outsourcing NOW. Bring back US jobs, and rebuild our economy.
Then we can win elections again.
Right now, we are slowly losing that capability.
Neither here no there...I think it was a correct and totally objective view of the facts. Period.
Mitt is wrong to back off this... when all Conservatives agree with the figures, facts and the candidate's right to observe them publicly or privately.
Denying logic is a dangerous path.... look what it has done to Liberalism.
Related - I heard this morning that the Canadian Auto Workers just inked a new deal w/ Ford that makes Canada the most expensive place to build a car in the world. All of the big 3 US Automakers have moved plants there. Why?
Aside, you are correct. We don't have enough jobs and I don't see where they are going to come from to pull us out of this nose dive.
The truth hurts, eh? It must as the mainstream media is going nuts over Romney’s comments. Morning Joe is adding his two cents worth, which isn’t worth the two cents. We’re tired of ya Joe.
Once again, a “gaffe” becomes an accidental revelation of the truth.
I think you should email or call the Romney campaign right now, seriously, right now, and tell them to use Julia to explain the culture of dependency and defend the attack today is about to become all day long. Good call by you.
god, and can you imagine if Romney inadvertantly said “52 States” or “Typical Latino Person”?
As one who in theory is part of the problem, let me say this about that.
I pay plenty of taxes on income, including on SS insurance payments.
I still work for a living because of just such issues.
I fully realize the present system is unsustainable.
SS, medicare, medicaid, and other welfare payments add up to the entire federal receipts, thus the borrowed 40% to support the rest of the federal budget. You know, the budget that really isn’t a budget because the US Senate refuses to pass it.
I would be one of the first to suggest reductions in benefits on the order of 40% in order to save or wean us off “the system”.
This is 100% True. Many of us are GD tired of the 47% that are living off the left hind teat of the government. We are getting close to a true tax revolt. This is a Atlas Shrug moment that will be soon to come. F the slugs!!!!!!!
Did you realize that almost 99.99999% of Americans never pay the federal excise tax on yachts?
"TIS TRUE!!!!
We are undoubtedly doomed.
Getting down to the guts of his story this writer wants to focus on the half of the country who have someone in their household who receives a government check ~ a retired person with Social Security, someone else on Medicare perhaps, an unemployed adult child living in the basement doing a string of part time jobs that never raise him to the level where he can get off food stamps or EITC ~ we have 53% of our recent college graduates unemployed ~ of course there's a lot of folks around who have a household member who is unemployed and who may be receiving assistance of some kind, or maybe living on grandpa and grandma in some hard hit communities.
That, BTW, doesn't mean that half the people in the country are on welfare ~ it means the middle class is close to exhausting its resources, and time is running out until the red armband salesmen are going to be on the move taking over the country.
Hopefully the Romney campaign monitors FR (or someone here has quick contact with them).
Someone with a bit of savvy could use the Julia propaganda to quickly counterpunch this LSM crap.
I just hope they’re able to be that agile.
Look, do you want Romney or Obama to play the part of VonHindenberg when the red arm band sellers decide to step out and take over America?
That's going to happen unless people get over this class warfare nonsense and begin to focus on retrieving our economy!
Obama followers must defend why it is a good thing that nearly half the country does not pay taxes. We as conservative voters knew the figure but many liberals do not.
Obama must work hard to get the 47% out to vote, which I maintain will be a tall task unlike what he enjoyed in 2008.
He is absolutely right. We have gotten to the point where telling the truth is controversial. Well I guess we have been at that point for a while now.
One of the prime reasons for outsourcing would be our high corporate tax rates. You have hit upon “catch 22”. How do you reduce corporate tax rates when all you are going to hear is leftist screams of “tax cuts for the rich”? That silly mantra is not helping what ails them. When you hang you hat on BS, you get a heaping pile of manure whether you want it.
Or not.
One quick example is the Chevy Equinox is made in Canada.
