"STOP apologizing Romney"

I watched the video.

You obviously didn't.

There was no apology.

"47, 48, 49 %, something like that, these are people are in his camp, they will vote for him no matter what ... and I have a large number of people that will vote for me no matter what ... my campaign effort is to focus on the people in the middle. ... It's a question that I recall about the process of the campaign ... I recognize that among those that pay no tax -- approximately 47% of Americans, I'm not likely to be highly successful with a message of lowering taxes. That's not as attractive to those who don't pay income taxes as it is to those who do; and likewise those that are reliant are government are not as attracted to my message of slimming down the size of government. And so I then focus on those individuals who I believe who are most likely to be able to be pulled into my camp and help me win the 51 or 50.1% I'd need to become the next President."

Romney: "He said that it was not “elegantly stated” and that he was “speaking off the cuff.”

How is that not an apology?

Now he is floundering trying to explain himself.

He should restate what he said: My message of lowing taxes has no appeal to those who don't pay taxes.

And he is right about that.

Let's not even get into that this proclamation of his alienates 49% of voting people, by stating his message is worthless to them.

Romney is not a conservative, when he tries to talk about conservative issues IE lower taxes he is unable.

Everyone benefits from lower taxes, not just the people who pay them.

It's called economic growth, yet Romney apparently is unable, maybe unwilling to put that idea out in front.

He really is a disaster as a campaigner.
