SECRET VIDEO: Romney Tells Millionaire Donors What He REALLY Thinks of Obama Voters

[TigerClaws]

During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don't assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them. Fielding a question from a donor about how he could triumph in November, Romney replied:

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 that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

Romney stated absolute truth to lies and anyone can prove that EVERYTHING that Romney said about obama supporters is true. Romney left out one important fact. ALL obama SUPPORTERS ARE evil!

He forgot the crazy leftists and aging Marxists.

I guess the truth hurts...the left.

“He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders...”

OK, Mittens just gained a point. Didn’t think he had it in him.

I hope that they do... we start with ads featuring that woman in Orlando that said,” I ain't gotta worry ‘bout my house note or gas for my car. obama is going to take care of me”. The we run the riots in Atlanta when he spread his stash around. Cut to Chicago and the same rioting masses breaking down glass doors to get some free obama stash. I mean that we can destroy obama if he tries to use the truth against Romney.

Did they have the video or is this just hearsay?

This sounds very much like the distorted version of reality Sean Hannity was peddling for most of a year ~ then it was pointed out to him that if he imagined he could elect more Republicans by promising to raise taxes on the poor he was NUTS.

He's calmed down lately.

He'd best get an increase on his thorazine dosage though ~

SECRET?....this was shown already....Mother Jones...out of material.....rewind news.

[stranger and pilgrim]

I hate to admit it, but the more I see of Romney, the more I like him.

[Proud2BeRight]

Sounds exactly right to me.

[muawiyah]

The story doesn’t start with Mitt ~ and Mother Jones’ reporters have no idea what it’s about anyway. Besides, since the days of the Sumerians it has been well known that NO ONE gets out without paying taxes.

[matt1234]

Romney is correct. He is describing those who “bitterly cling to their couch cushions and welfare checks.”

[machogirl]

Wonder when Mother Jones is going to obtain the Rashid Khalidi tape of Barry toasting (the tape that the LA Times wouldn’t release)?

[swamprebel]

they posted a graphic with the quote of Romney saying these people are victims, and Diane Sawyer concluding this video “will be explosive in the next 24 hrs”.

[EnquiringMind]

A video with a clearly audible voice. Chuck Todd is OH! so dismayed. Compares it to Obama’s statement 4 years ago “clinging to guns and religion”.

[muawiyah]

The factoids don't stand up well to scrutiny and are well understood to be inapplicable to life on planet Earth anyway.

Maybe somewhere else in the universe they don't pay taxes, but this isn't that place.

People who believe this are not well educated I am sure.

"ABC evening news is reporting this story now. "

Good, this is information that needs to get out there. I personally think Mitt planted this info.

The video is over in the link page.

Right? I’m happy to hear these remarks. Just saw NBC making a stink about it.
