"Us"? Who is this us you speak of? I'm certainly not one of the 47 percenters.
Romney's mistake was not owning that comment. He could have made that his defining moment and won the election with it. But nooooo. He was too wussified and walked it back.
Owning the comment?
He was recorded saying it at a fundraising dinner with his big $$$$ GOPe donors, a waiter put the recorder on a table.
He didn't intend to tell us that, that was a message to his rich buddies.
Romney knew it was a loser (wrt to the election). Common sense would tell anyone it was.
It was a classic GOPe moment, same GOPe who wants amnesty. "Those lazy Americans refuse to work, that's why we need immigration reform, immigrants are willing to work"
