Romney On 47 Percent: ‘I Said Something That’s Just Completely Wrong’

[alp227]

80. "Mitt Happens IS a liberal."

Creeping in Freeperville I see...

Mitt Happens IS a liberal.

He has no core principles nor what we called in the olden days, “the courage of one’s convictions.”

He can never stick to a position without taking the other side. He makes Obama look principled!

I can’t stand him and I won’t vote for a liberal - not this one.

Also...

Ahhhhh.
Oh good god.
He has a fantastic debate then back peddles on something that is true..........who advises this man.
(Really the ‘media is lying’ about this is a lame excuse)

NO! He should stand by it, and clarify:

Mr. Obama, You have increased the percentage of those taking out of the government budget to almost 50%. Does it occur to you that those who are paying in, and being buried in taxes are going to stop working at some point? You can’t keep taking from one half and giving to the other half. People aren’t going to work if they are being fleeced to pay others not to work.

I say that he has NOTHING to apologize for and should just explain the facts calmly and clearly.

Yep, he just handed a big debate win for Obama there

Don’t ignore them. Revoke all their benefits. I’m sick and tired of being taxed to pay for these parasites.

Yeah, parasites like new small business owners that are creating new jobs but aren’t making much profit yet.

At least some said things like

Didn’t like it at first, but I now think this was best. After some coverage on Friday it will largely die down. It will neuter attacks largely on this later, at least compared to what would have been.

And quite frankly, a lot of people just want to hear a politician admit an error....they like honesty like that.

His statement was right, but despite explaining why it was, many just don’t get it still and see it as a personal attack on them.

This was a wise move to run out and do in the post-debate glow.

It was stupid.

There have been a number of callers to the various radio talk shows who've claimed to be conservative, a member of the 47% who don't pay federal income taxes, and who are Romney voters. They were still voting for him, but just thought his characterization of the entire group as all Obama supporters was a little insulting.
