Keep up the good work on the Romney/Ryan 2012 campaign!

Most people already know who they are going to vote for on November 6th. This tape may hurt him and I don't like him but he is right and the truth hurts. I know many of the 47% are disabled or retired vets but many are also lazy freeloaders that don't ever want to work and they never will unless we stop giving them a free ride.

I think politicians need to realize the camera is ALWAYS ON. That being said, I'd like to remind everyone of these comments by president obama:

Remember the bitter people in rural America clinging to their guns and religion, showing antipathy towards people not like them.

Remember that time Obama called his grandmother a "typical white person"

Candidates say stupid things, even offensive things. The question comes down to who is going to do the best job getting this country back to work and back on the right track. Don't let some silly remarks get in the way of that. The point is both candidates make them. Don't let the left-leaning media let you believe otherwise.

Reality is that Romney is speaking the truth. The people receiving entitlements like EBT cards, medicaid and rent subsidies are probably not going to vote for Romney... it would not be to their perceived advantage.

Will the Carter video hurt Romney in the long run? I don't think so. Not any more than the Middle East fiasco will hurt Obama. People's minds are made up at this point... the undecideds are leaning in one direction or another, and it is just a matter of tallying it up. I don't even think the debates will make a difference because we see in the candidate of our choice what we want to see. I'll vote for Romney or any Republican no matter what they say or bungle, because much more inflation is not to my perceived advantage. And inflation is on the way in higher fuel costs and bread that costs $5 a loaf.

When politicians are at events they should always assume every word they say is being recorded and whatever they say is fair game for criticism. What baffles me is how Obama gets a pass on things he says when he knows he's being recorded, like the Egypt is not our Ally comment... that was an incredible gaffe that he got a complete pass on (as well as several others). How about the mishandling of the Egyptian Embassy comments about "Abusing the universal right of freedom of speech..."? It's obvious to everyone that the mainstream media will dig up every little obscure comment by Romney (i.e. the Olympics comment) but Obama never has had the same level of scrutiny on stuff he says on a daily basis.

Funny how a video of a May fundraiser comes to light just before a Letterman appearance. I suspect this is just the beginning. In all likelihood, there are many more to come. Some may even hit the target and seriously wound Romney/Ryan

By now, I am sure the Obama camp has amassed all kinds of tidbits they hope will fire up their base. These will be leaked in drips and drabs over the coming weeks. It will be the timing that counts. I hope the Romney camp is ready. I think he is handling this first grenade pretty well.

it will only hurt Romney if the 47% of the freeloaders vote against him.....lucky for him..those 47% constitute 10 electoral votes...lol

Half of the 47% are seniors collecting SS, etc. A good chuck of the rest are military personnel. There are also a few thousand folks in there who make more than $1 million a year. Many of the poor folks that are left come from republican leaning states. Somehow, Mittens has managed to insult supporters of both he and Obama AND be wrong on the facts....ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

For the record, I'm voting for Obama (again), but I'm not dependent on the state or fed government any more than Mittens is. I know it's easy to think all Obama supporters are dependent on the government. It might even sound good at a fundraiser. But if you believe it, you've got your head stuck in the sand.

Bert: Romney was strategizing before a group of wealthy supporters. Are you naive enough to believe that when Obama dines with ultra-liberal academia and Hollywood loyalists he is not divvying us up in the same way? It is the nature of the beast. In this "wired" world, we now get to see how "we the people" are chewed up and spit out by the political class. Just pick a side.

It seems MANY stick their foot in there own mouths (so to speak) Lessons will be learned and some VERY HARD LESSONS! Put yourself in the 47%'s worn tired (some lazy) shoes, how would you feel? We are all 1 Pay check away from broke! Sad to say, write, feel or know. Blessings to us ALL!

Yes, He's right. I'm one of the 47% and I won't be voting for him. So yes,, He was right.

When you find the $719 Billion that was reportedly "stolen" by the Obama administration to pay for Obamacare/Obamatax/Pelosi-Tax, fill us all in. And return the money to where it belongs in the first place.

Time for new management. Good thing this is an election year.

Doom

Romney was right about the 47% voting for their own self interest (OBAMA). Have you seen the 200/300 pounders pushing their baskets full of junk food & other non necessary items in Supermarkets, Walmarts & other stores & paying for it with E.B.T. cards? I'm sure they return home to their section 8 apartments/homes & wait for other entitlements/assistance to arrive in the mail. Why would they vote for ROMNEY and risk loosing their freebees? If someone is TRUELY disabled or in need, of course give them assistance, but there's so much fraud & abuse of the ENTITLEMENT SYSTEMS and everyone seems to know how to SCAM THE SYSTEM. I fear it's too far gone to correct now anyway!

Reality to Romney: It's over.

The most amazing thing about this election cycle is the sheer number of people who are reporting that they regularly stand in line behind people in grocery stores and watch as well-dressed people get all their food for free by sliding their EBT cards through the machine, and then bring their bags out to their shiny new cars. It's pretty incredible, for years I have done most of my grocery shopping at the Hyde Park Shaw's and Price Rite (and when I'm in the area, the Chelsea Market Basket) and I have never once witnessed this phenomenon. In fact, usually when I'm behind someone who has food stamps or an EBT credit, they are dressed in Goodwill threads and own their own rolling cart to walk their groceries back to their apartment. Maybe all of these EBT cheats are shopping at Whole Foods, or maybe just the pie stores at the farmer's market.

To understand Romney's views about poverty, see Brigham Young University's "Attitudes about Poverty." http://eom.byu.edu/index.php/Poverty,_Attitudes_Toward The Mormons established an extensive Welfare Services program in 1935 that makes government programs unnecessary for Mormons. Utah, which is 60% Mormon, has the lowest childhood poverty rate in the country. But most of the country is not Mormon.

Go check your own parrot facts @Elizabeth Evans. Some of us do not want to pay for the current prostitution scandal involving the White House either. That's also on FoxNews. Get yourself educated.

The choice is simple...Vote for the guy who promotes the "american dream" or vote for the guy who promotes a "welfare state"

I am voting for Romney/Ryan as i believe in working for my money and that hard work and dedication will pay off. When we first moved to MA we were able to get MassHealth for our daughter (we paid for it still but got it, my husband and I did not qualify though) It was amazing, everything medical other than that monthly payment, was FREE. We thought, well, if my husband made a little less we could get a few things for free off the system.. Then we laughed neither of us could do it. We pride ourselves on hard work and earning our 'keep'. I am in favor of people that really need help getting it (for a period of time) and during that time we assist in training them on options for work. Then after a to be determined period its over. I heard a lot of HARSH but TRUE facts in that Romney video.. Time for people to wake up and take responsibility for themselves and their families.

C-Span video from last night's Steve King-Republican from Iowa clip on reforms in the Food Program; comments regarding the nanny state...and previously there were 19 million on food stamps and now during the Obama administration that figure has risen significantly to 47 million on food stamps. re: house agriculture farm bill.

This tape only confirms what informed people already knew! For Romney if you are poor, it is your fault and you are a drag on society. He has no use for the midddle class because they have nothing to offer him.
To Romney, people are expendable unless they are rich. It may as well be Donald Trump running, they are both arrogant and heartless!
