This hurt him and didn’t help him even after his numerous restatements to make his intent more clear. I have no issue with the retraction tonight.
I disagree. The same day this video surfaced, I was on the Yahoo Finance site looking at stocks. Yahoo put a poll up asking whether you agreed or disagreed with Romney’s statement (unscientific).
By the time I left the site, 20,000 had voted and 78% agreed with Romney’s statement. After that, I visited other sites and the responses were similar to Yahoo’s poll.
Everyone thinks the majority of Americans are stupid, uninformed and aren’t paying attention. Well, I will tell you that isn’t true and most of us are sick and tired of what has happened under Obama and others before him.
We all know that half of this country can’t pull the welfare wagon with half of the rest the country riding in it. And Romney was right, most of them will not vote their bennies and freebies away.
