Mother Jones took a secret video of a private Romney event in Orange County, CA and are now convinced they've got him. Personally I was rather impressed to hear that Romney does in fact get things as they are. I think this could only help him with independents, who increasingly also get things as they are.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney did not back down from comments published Monday in Mother Jones magazine, in which he dismissed supporters of President Obama as a “victims” who take no responsibility for their livelihoods and who think they are entitled to government handouts.
“It’s not elegantly stated…I’m speaking off the cuff in response to a question,” Romney told reporters Monday night in Costa Mesa, Calif.
Asked what assurances he could give to voters that he doesn’t say different things behind closed doors to his donors than he does at his public rallies, Romney said he gives “the same message” to all audiences.
“We have a very different approach, the president and I, between a government dominated society and a society driven by free people pursuing their dreams,” Romney said.

Meanwhile the LA Times has been sitting on a video of Duh Won from before he was elected, at a private fundraiser. And let us not forget the bitter clingers comment.
Though the media will be spending the rest of this week, at the very least, painting this as Romney's latest gaffe, I think it at worst has no effect. It might even end up helping him among the independents who work and pay taxes. If the story is quietly shelved, that will be proof that it was tending to help rather than hurt Romney.

Oh. Yes. And don't we all remember the press asking the same question of Obongo, referencing his "clinging to their guns and Bibles" speech to the whoeverthehell they were in California.
My patience for this bullsh*t has llllleft the building.
-
Only the MSM can turn the truth into a gaffe . They're all over this shyt this morning .
-
They'll be more amatuer hour theatrics before this thing is over.
Pointing at it and asking "Are you fricken serious?" while laughing your ass off is about as good a response as any to their retarded efforts!

Yes, and that includes the pundits on "our" side. "Oh Em Gee!!! Did Romney just lose the election?!!"
Feh.

Mitt Romney insulted a lot of PARASITES... good for him! People who are physically and mentally capable of supporting themselves, but who choose to suck off the government for year after year after year are parasites! We need to terminate all unearned forms of entitlements and welfare to everyone who has been sucking on them for more than 99 weeks. Then, we need to reduce that maximum time period to something that makes sense, like 52 weeks, and then down to where it belongs -- more like 26 weeks.
If we let them sit on their dead azzes forever, that's exactly what they will do -- SIT ON THEIR DEAD AZZES FOREVER....
-
Since when is stating facts and telling the truth a bad thing?? Oh that's right we live in upside down world.
Got to change that!
-
The only idiots offended by this are the same idiots we don't care about and were always in the Obongo camp not matter what...so it is all a MFM wet dream...another failed attempt to suppress our vote...

They should play them on NBC, CBS, & ABC.
The more times the better.
-
Yeah, honestly I hope they do play this over and over. Let it be a reminder to the remainder of the population, the ones who drag their tired asses into jobs they don't like day after day, let it be a reminder when they see a third of their paycheck withheld due to various taxes.

Agreed, everytime this class warfare crap is launched by the Left it blows up in their faces...
Did you hear rush today? Those clips of Carney talking out his behind about Obama's "bitter clinger" quip (before he became an Obama stooge!) were hilarious!
I hope everytime they bring that up the bring up the Carney quip on O'Bongo!

Wow his remarks about the "made up" Palestinian people is spot on too!

If Romney keeps this up and does not apologize for his remarks I may go into the voting booth actually stoked for a change.

They wouldn't get it. They're clueless.
-
And Magnum, we know what the media will focus on in the clip you posted. Not Romney's sober and realistic assessment of the Palestinians and the regional conflict, but the fact that he says a former Secretary of State told him there is a prospect for peace, and he "didn't delve into it."
Wonder what he said immediately after that. The fact that the video cuts off there indicates that he placed the comment in context.
-
Yeah, I like everything leading up to that point, leaving that tidbit dangling (no douobt on purpose) is setting the table for criticism, but it could blow back on Obama if he takes the bait, if what MItt says after that is revealing and highlights another failure of the Obama Admin.

Romney sticks by his ’47%’ remarks, hits back (http://riehlworldview.com/2012/09/romney-sticks-by-his-47-remarks-hits-back.html)
No retreat, no surrender. It’s too late for that now if you want to be seen as a leader.
Mitt Romney said in an interview Tuesday that remarks he made at a fund-raiser in May casting supporters of President Barack Obama as dependent on government were an honest reflection of his campaigns message.
“This is a message Im carrying day and day out and will carry over the coming months,” Romney said on Fox News. “This is a decision about the course of America, where were going to head. We’ve seen the presidents policies play out over the last four year.”

...and yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcolm's call, one line in the book stayed with me. He spoke of a wish he'd once had. The wish that "the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, could somehow be expunged".
-
Yeah...

The white blood running thru Obama was an act of whoredom.

IF Mittens keeps this up, I may not have to be toilet hugging drunk when I vote for him. That's a BIG if, though.

Wow, Tyler at ZH is using right-wing neo-con charts! Libertarians and their "Both parties equally suck!" crowd must be going apesh*t! And yes, the first comment there goes apesh*t.

I'm now past the point where I'm more enthusiastic about voting for Romney than I ever was about votng for McCain.
I can't ignore the devastation of the past 4 years in forming that opinion. But I think Romney is simply a better candidate, better leader, better conservative, and will make a better President - than John McCain could've ever been.
I can scarcely imagine McCain fecklessly flailing away at the myriad crises we face. Somehow I can imagine Romney in the same position, and leading effectively.
Hopefully I'll get a chance for my gut feeling to be tested.

I think Romney will probably make fewer mistakes than McCain and give in less often, however, that is setting the bar pretty low in my opinion. We need another Lincoln, or a Reagan. Mittens is neither. Less of a disaster than McCain, but it will still be a disaster. They will not repeal Obamacare. The Spending will not be reduced by any meaningful amount. The economy and the dollar will continue to loose traction in the global economy, and we will still be headed to a 3rd world standard of living - either gradually or in a sudden event. They will continue to "compromise" and give out entitlements, and more and more will vote for Dems because they have become dependent wards of the State.
Before the end of Romney's term we will look like Greece today. Children will be abandoned. Riots and stoppages will be ordinary events. Foreigners will be buying any real assets and resources we have, and gain more influence over our governance. The only thing that might preempt that is a war - and that will have its own set of hardships.
Romney has proven he is willing to play as he needs to play - saying one thing then another, and he will behave for us only so long as the Tea Party can hold his feet in the fire. He chose Ryan to entice us, they added a Gold Standard to the platform to try attract the Ron Paul crowd, but its pandering plain and simple. Once in power he will ignore us and govern as he did in Mass, unless someone is able to change and modify his agenda via political power - a power I do not think we yet possess.
Its going to be a wild ride folks. There are no solutions to our problems - reality is going to solve them for us, in the usual and violent ways.

I could perhaps quibble with a few things in Weisshaupt's post, but bottom line I think the result is the same...reality will impose its will no matter what...and it could be a grand perfect storm of everything bad that could conceivably happen or just one or two...the economic issues alone remain the strongest impetus toward the abyss.
Plan accordingly...and pray.

One cannot speak truth to these people, or have them overhear it spoken, without them attempting to use it against one. It's always the gotcha for which they're after. If there's nothing substantial from which to hang the gotcha, they'll make it up out of whole cloth.
No one argues that tax shelters exist, nor are they illegal, but the Left never fails to use it as a moral club, as though sheltering one's money is wrong because it belongs not to the producer, but to them for distribution as they see fit. Yet, they themselves DO IT and behave as though they don't, or it's okay if they do because they have purer motives.
It's ridiculous; it's kabuki theatre; it's faux outrage; it's just a game played for the benefit of the ignorant and covetous.
