He may be done......

I cannot see him coming back from this....I pray that I am right. I knew when he dogged the cookie maker he was not suited for office. He proved it tonight...

"What did I miss?"

A video from a Romney fundraiser where he labels 47% of the electorate as victims and so wedded to their entitlements that he doesn't care about getting their votes.

Regards,

D-Ray

Not sure what the problem is. Is he wrong? Why would he care about losing people who identify themselves as being 'wedded to entitlements'? ... and any digbats out there who are still on the Obama bandwagon aren't going to suddenly vote for a rational and/or viable candidate instead, now are they.

I imagine some of the 47% are republicans receiving their social security entitlements.


Aside from that, it was just a stupid thing for a presidential candidate to say.

Yeah, he is wrong. And, so are you.

The difference is he knows what he's up to and YOU DON'T.

The difference is snakes like Romney have figured out how to make fortunes off of putz's like you. It's really very easy. With a little he-man hullabaloo and pseudo-patriotic flag-waiving, they can talk you into giving up whatever they want from you. They have perfected methods of making you feel ashamed of yourself for expecting anything of them.

Go off to fight the wars they start? F**k that, that's for "Little People" like Mezz. Pay taxes? "Whoooooaaaaaa, just you hold on there, Mister! How dare you punish my success? No, no. Paying taxes is for the little people too. You will give ME AND ALL OF MY FELLOW PLUTOCRATS a tax CUT and if it puts a dent in the budget, that's okay, I'll just slick talk that Putz Mezz and his ilk into giving up their Medicare. After all "real Americans and true patriots" don't accept "handouts" anyways....................."

See how that works?

That's you.

Dave

Right, but they refuse to admit it. Why, what would their friends think?

That's exactly what it is. It's coming down to the last few weeks, and they are NOT seeing the lead they expected to have by now. The delusional arrogance is wearing off and reality is setting in.

As it sits, who knows? It could still go either way. But, to a self assured and deeply conceited pig head like Romney, who can't fathom why the whole world doesn't just adore him and his party it just doesn't make sense that he isn't already 30 points ahead.......It MUST be that everyone is too stupid to see that he really is our saviour. Must be that we're all just a bunch of stupid begging dogs, sniffing for a handout.
