Romney himself said it was not well put.

Now YOU are stomping on Paul Ryan for saying same.

The “47% who don’t pay taxes will vote Obama no matter what and see themselves as victims and entitled” is the part that is mistakenly put.

The principle is correct...too many are dependent on government and that is where Obama wants them and his policies reveal that and cause that.

I agree with Romney/Ryan on that part.

I disagree that everyone - equalling the 47% who don’t pay income taxes - who receives something from the government, is as Romney appeared to be describing.

He needs to flesh out who he means. He can’t mean government retirees, or those receiving medicare, social security retirement, unemployment if indeed they have tried and tried and could not find work or working but too poor to pay taxes etc...but the enemy within is now in full throttle to convince Americans that is exactly what he meant.

A caller to C-Span (I couldn’t stand to hear the rest of the callers, it was all so vile and filled with lies based on the full-video-release perceptions) said if Romney is elected, it’s over, we’re done, he will take my medicare, he will take everything. C-Span had just got through airing the entire thing.

The principle that Romney enunciated was great.

He got lost in the weeds some on the details he claimed, and he lost some of the truth in what he was trying to say.

Both he and Ryan are admitting it.

But I knew it when I first heard his exact wording...I knew what he meant, but something was OFF.

See post #10.

Please don’t attack Paul Ryan. Try to HEAR what he is saying.

Mitt said the same, already.

They are telling the truth. The devil was in Mitt’s details. His principle was correct.

They need to stop apologizing, we have had enough of that in the last 4 years and many are tired of this perpetual apologizing when there is nothing to apologize for.

What Romney said was spot on accurate and the ONLY reason it is an issue is so 0bama doesn't have to dwelle on the murdering of Americans overseas and he is getting away with it via the MSM.

I am a moocher. I don't pay income tax.

Because my social security benefits are not taxable and the earned interest income off my savings are below taxable levels, I don't pay taxes.

There are a lot of retired people who don't pay income tax or pay a relatively small amount of income tax on interest income who will be in a world of hurt when Romney and the GOP start taxing SS benefits.
