Romney Stands By ‘47 Percent’ Remark


Mitt Romney’s leaked comments, recorded by a hidden camera at a closed-door fundraiser, that 47 percent of Americans “believe that they are victims” and prefer President Obama because his politics are “attractive to people who are not paying taxes” quickly lit up the blogosphere Monday—so quickly, in fact, that Romney held an impromptu press conference at 10:30 p.m. that night to address them. In his brief remarks, he doesn’t disavow the argument, instead saying it was “not elegantly stated” and “spoken off the cuff.” He also said that comments were in line with his campaign strategy to “focus on the people in the middle.”

Romney is 65 years old.

When is it too old to be president?!?

I have a real issue with his age, and the fact that he's an asshole.

WOW, I didn't realize he was that old. No wonder he fits in so well with the Repub/Old White Man regime. :o
He is going to do, say, and PAY anything to get elected.
And the worst is all the poor white schmucks following him thinking that maybe they will someday be as rich as him.

Why wouldn't he stand by it?
That's what the morons voting for him believe anyhow and that's pretty much what he's been saying all along.

The dumbest thing is how many idiots voting for him are some of those exact same people he is "complaining" about for not paying taxes.

I know, right?
He's mocking them for not paying taxes and openly plotting to take away their medicare but the idiots are STILL going to vote for him.
Hmm, I wonder what his appeal could be....
