Bump.

Thank you for perfectly stating my thought.

Sir Alexander Tytler:

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can exist only until voters discover that they can vote themselves largesses from the public treasury. From that time on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury...

And here we are.

Romney just stated the truth. Too bad all the others don't have the cojones to admit he's right.

The folks who thought that lived in a time when democracy was little known beyond theories propounded in books. They certainly didn’t live in democracies.

Of course he did. Those Repubicans are just trying to cover their own arses. You never hear the DEMS doing things like this. Instead, they circle the wagons around even the most immoral of their base. Not our side, no sireee! Pile on and have the pundits repeat every word they say. No wonder we are called the party of stupid. Our side has much to learn from the marxists.

They won't admit it because to all politicians openly criticizing the taxpayer spoils system is as close as you can come to sacrilege in their minds.

On the bright side, paying attention to who in the GOP Romney's comments outrage neatly identifies phony 'conservatives' in our party. They are statists in drag.

Mitt might have been wrong on a number of things, but on this declaration he was absolutely correct. His critics are delusional and demonstrative of political correctness. In other words the critics are full of crap.
