Romney's 47 percenters
Posted: Sep 18, 2012
live mostly in the south: Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas, New Mexico, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Idaho. 45% of those 47 percenters live in Mississippi. 30.4% are the working poor who, even in their struggle to survive, still don’t earn enough to pay income tax so they get tax credits for their children. They still pay payroll taxes and other taxes. 44% are senior citizens who receive SS and have already paid into the system; 5.6% are students who get education credits. Looks like Romney is throwing a lot of his supporters under the bus and they still don’t realize it. I’m not sure he was making reference to the 3000 high income earners who made more than $24 million and paid no federal income taxes.
U.S. Population statistics: Whites 78.1%, Non-Hispanic Whites 63.4%, Blacks 13.1%; Hispanics 16.7%.
When you look at the facts, it's gets more difficult to pit the races against each other with the food stamp, moocher argument.

He's really talking about citizens who support safety - net programs, not the poor or Dems per se.
[ In Reply To ..]BTW, note that that statement was at a $50K/plate fund raiser in response to a question about how he's going to "...in two months...convince everybody, you've got to take care of yourself?"
This is NOT an attack on a mythical 47% of the population who are liberal and don't pay taxes, it's about all the people who do pay taxes, pay into social programs they feel are desirable, and support those programs. Half of them his own supporters.
Right. It's not about Pub, red states, etc. It's about - what he'd do with Social Security.
[ In Reply To ..]Good businessman that he is, maybe he just intends to profitize it, not destroy it entirely?
I think you mean privatize : ) - (but I like profitize!)
[ In Reply To ..]
I meant that in their eyes privatize IS profitize. Only accident - is if they get their hands on my money. :)NM

Romney's 47%.Sep 23, 2012
My husband and his friends at work discuss politics at lunch, probably not with as little respect for each other as is sometimes shown on this board, but nonetheless that's a topic for another post. Yesterday, a lady who has been one of Obama's most ardent supporters, usually saying she just cannot support Romney because he is rich and cannot identify with her, told them of an incident she had witnessed that morning. She said a young man walked off his job and said ...

Remember this? Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters yesterday that the company plans to build more Jeeps in China. The Detroit News reports: “As part of our global expansion of the Jeep brand, there are some cars — that because of the price position in the market — can never be made in the U.S. and exported,” Marchionne told reporters on the sidelines of the North American International Auto Show. “We’re going to be announcing the first step in the globalization of Je ...
Romney CharityMar 01, 2012
Posted earlier today or last dark time that one of the Romney's daddy or Jr donated an entire fortune to college education. I did not verify the information. But I do think that was an extraordinarily snobby thing to do. I guess he thinks everyone should be remade over in his image. That might not be so bad because he is handsome. Dont be fooled by his slick appearance. He is nice man to his family, but must be a snob. What he did to those people in the companie ...

Romney As HeroJan 13, 2012
Media massagers out in full force transforming Mittens into a hero for kicking middle class to the curb and walking off with millions. The fact that a fella born into luxury and spent entire life enriching self at expense of others says it all. When one is born into wealth, there is the luxury of choice - to protect wealth and accumulate more or to improve life for others. Mittens clearly chose the former. He has spent his life in lovely homes specifically located to s ...
Ann Romney Should ApologizeApr 13, 2012
Imagining the reaction to her "I know what it means to struggle" remark if Democrats acted like Republicans Ann Romney (Credit: Reuters/Jeff Haynes) Nicely played, GOP.

Romney 48%, Obama 43%Apr 17, 2012
48 to 43 is pretty close. In a poll registered voters were asked if election was held today who would you vote for. 48 Romney and 43 for Obama. What this says is it's very close and it still gives me hope that the Romney haters don't outweigh the ones who have a clear mind and will vote based on what is best for the country. So all the haters can spin all they want. Reading so many posts below I had to take what was posted and go research for myself and found out that most of wh ...

He truly seems like a very, very loving family man. He seemed much more humanized to me tonight than he's been before. I even thought there was a moment during his speech when he was on the verge of crying, which, to me, was genuine. I think it hurt him that the nice video introduction was later followed by Clint Eastwood's appearance....that part will make a lot of people forget what they just watched on the video montage! Mitt Romney has a lov ...
Some Of Romney's Lies, Sep 01, 2012
It's only fair that in the lie/debunk contest, the GOP gets their chance to start their debunk tally, since so far we have a big fat goose egg for wingers able to debunk Romney's lies. These first 50+ lies should keep y'all busy from a while, but do let me know when you run out of assignments. There's lots more where that came from. Here is Romney lying about his own first name: http://romneytheliar.blogspot.com/... Here is Romney lying about def ...

Mitt needs to learn when to zip his lip. I suspect we may hear an apology from him later today. Then again, maybe not. For him to politicize this is unforgiveable. Like I said before, let's wait until all the facts are known. This may just be the final nail in Romney's coffin. ...

Okay, Exactly Who ARE The 47% Mr. Romney ClaimsSep 19, 2012
Link to Factcheck.org's analysis below. BTW, Mr. Romney's 47% of people who end up paying NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX is already out of date. It has dropped to about 46% under current policies and is expected to fall to 44% in 2013, under current policies. @50% are employed people, but low income, who do pay employment taxes. (No doubt many MTs fall in this group he won't be bothering about these days.)@22% are seniors, i.e., most retired workers, living on limited incomes. (Mos ...

and Obama lied.

Now he's flip-flopped back to calling it a terrorist attack. Romney nailed it from the get-go. ...
