Secret video: Mitt Romney thinks you're a freeloader.

Apparently there's a number of these "secret videos" that were released from this person. Let's see how idiots like Goth spin it.

Yeah, this doesn't need to be spunned. The wording may not be as polite as the wording he and his campaign managers use on, say, "Meet the Press," but this is basically the Republican platform. It's not even extreme. That's just how they feel about government.

These videos have been seen

And obviously ignored...

My feed on Twitter and Facebook is still talking about the 47% and this has to be the first time David Corn's name (the Mother Jones writer who posted these videos) ever hit trending topics. Not a really good Monday story (only the primetime cable news shows are talking about it) but Tuesday should be interesting.

Whoops! Sorry, I thought this was the tape that was already posted about and not something new.

If anyone votes for him after this, they are either VERY rich or VERY stupid.

The worst thing Romney said was 'people think they are entitled to food and shelter'.

What a horrible man.

Huffington Post had this as their headline:

'MY JOB IS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE'

So, as President he will ONLY look after those who are rich and who voted for him.

Mitt on Fox this afternoon:

" I do believe that we should have enough jobs and enough take home pay such that people have the privilege of higher incomes that allow them to be paying taxes. I think people would like to be paying taxes.”

I wish he had said this on a real media outlet. The obvious follow-up would be "DO YOU like to pay taxes, governor? If so why do you go so far out of your way to AVOID doing so?"

I know it's the Onion but it is HILARIOUS!

Well, if he were less cowardly, maybe he'd do just that.

And in case you're wondering, here are the people Romney was talking about.


The 47 %

Oh, I didn't bother to click on his links (YouTube as research? Cute!), but I'm not surprised to hear they were racist.

It is difficult enough to deal with the serious problems that face us without having to waste time and energy educating smug know-nothings about the basic facts of life. Among the recipients of government largess are Public Roads, Air Traffic Control, NOAA Weather, Railroad land grant subsidies, Corps of Engineers navigation projects, universal telephone service and universal postal coverage.

Agribusiness gets price supports and subsidized water. Mining and energy extraction get subsidized access to resources on public lands. Timber and paper products business get subsidies every time they cut a tree on public land as the fees they pay are far below market cost.

Wages earned today by the "worthy" Americans were made possible by an education funded by Federal Grants, Loans or VA benefits. Tuition paid at state schools is subsidized and all Land Grant schools--including some Ivy League institutions, those bastions of the "worthy"--are the recipients of massive federal grants.

Children watching Sesame Street benefitted from CPB funds. Food and medicine that decent, hard-working, wage-earning Americans consumed today has been tested under USDA and FDA programs. And don't forget the cleaner water and air we have because of the Clean Air Act & Clean Water Acts, while many medicines saving lives this day were developed by tax funded research that was given to big Pharma.

Grrrrr....hate those lazy, dependent Negroes...

We've certainly reached the point where "righties" have become so deaf to their own racist (and misogynist and homophobic) speech that they simply smile and flip their hair. And to that extent I agree that it's pointless to point it out.


I have no idea what fairy tales they read to make themselves feel better about that.
