One of the breaths of fresh air from Romney was his “47%” remark. It was, of course, dead on accurate. What infuriates me is that nearly every establishment Republican thinks he shouldn’t have spoken the truth. And Romney even distanced himself from his own remark!
I figured the leak of that “47% remark” represented a door being cracked open for the perfect opportunity to describe the rat base as exactly what it is - - a pack of moochers, deadbeats, bums, and parasites who vote for politicians to confiscate more tax money... from friends and neighbors... and hand the loot over to them, the moochers, in exchange for their votes. This basic truth can EASILY be backed up with raw data and evidence galore.
I mean, does anybody truly believe the welfare / food stamp dependency class votes Republican??
There’s a reason Ubanga never brought up the “47%” remark in the debates...
The 47% of America comment could have been rebutted by exposing that Obama is against more than half of America based the fact the not one Repucblican voted for Obamacare. Mr. President you pushed through a policy the manortiy opposed!
As big and costly a gaffe as it was, no one ever succeeded in defining what it meant, did they?
Not one thing, just many little things with cowardice to back it up.
Don’t forget all the subsidy receivers and the “freetrade” jobs movers who’re able to go overseas because we won’t impose an environmental and slave labor arbitrage tariff on Chinese imports...
It was chilling to see the actual Rat base (not factoring in actual voter turnout interest, which the Rats did better than the GOP) poll out at that number. Although there was some overlap. Some nominal capitalists voted for Obama (please tax me more!) and others on the dole now but wishing for better times voted for Mitt.
I really think Romney needed to explain on the campaign or an ad, the 47% remark. He needed to explain it was the folks that get welfare/foood stamps long term, generational group.
Friends of mine who worked hard all their lives wondered if Romney was referring to them, those on ss now. Or a friend who is getting unemployment because she lost her job due to economy. Or another friend who get social security disability due to having Lupus. He never really made that clear who the 47% was; and I think that hurt him, in fact I know it hurt him with votes. I understood it, but not everyone understood what group he was referrencing.
He had every right to make that statement but he let the left and Obama make that his “image”. Romney had an obligation to really explain in detail who are the 47%.
The reason that was foolish to say, and Jindal and Newt are right!..is that you want to talk some sense into as many of those 47% er’s to vote republican. Not tell them that they will always vote leftist! That is what Reagan did! And many DID vote for him that otherwise voted dem all the time! That is truth. Because he knew what was best for even the leftists and wanted them to switch over. This is hopeful politicking and why Reagan was a master.
