And what’s so bad about that statement? It’s pretty accurate. The Democrats certainly have a lock on over 40% of the voters no matter what. That’s why the Democrat party can become as radical, communist and godless as they want, and they will still keep getting about their same share of the votes. Most people don’t think and only vote the party.
The only thing you can quibble with is whether the same percent who don’t pay income tax are the same people who vote Democrat. I’m sure he was just talking fast, and confusing his statements a little. Because even he definitely knows from living in the wealthy liberal state of Massachusetts that many Democrat voters do pay income tax.
No it's wrong all the way around.
There are 47% who don't pay income tax but that includes retired Social Security recipients who tend to be Republican and many others. It was stupid to categorize them this way.
The 47% who don't pay income tax are different from the % who are on the gov't dole.
The % that are on the Gov't dole is not any where near 47% unless you include Social Security and Medicare Recipients.
Romney sounds like Coach Watson used to sound when he was head coach of Vanderbilt. They'd have a pre-game interview and Coach Watson would have 6 reasons ready why Vanderbilt was at a disadvantage. And the game wasn't even started. There's no wonder he had a terrible record.
