Was Jeb's "you're not working enough" remark his 47% moment?

[MoonRiver]

He keeps trying to rationalize his comment, just like Romney, but it keeps coming back to bite him.

[Warpy]

1. If he gets the nomination

Every Democratic candidate for every office needs to play it over and over in their ads.

His staffers tried to deodorize it within minutes of his having said it. I don't know that it's worked particularly well, I keep seeing it posted in its original form all over the place.

[MoonRiver]

2. That's what I'm seeing too.

The sanitizing apparently hasn't worked very well. In the original statement there was absolutely NO reference about part time workers moving to full time, as if they have any control over that anyway.

[Nay]

6. If he actually meant that more people should be working full time, then he addressed

the wrong crowd when he said "you ought to work more." He should have railed against the businesses who have full time work but scam the system by hiring twice as many people and making them part time.

The fact that he was addressing workers (as if they had any say about how many hours WalMart is going to give them!) makes me very leery of what he meant.

[MoonRiver]

7. Yes, exactly!

3. Most Americans are not paying much attention to the race

Romney's 47% comment came out 5 weeks before the election. Any comment candidates make now is going to be stale by the time the general election rolls around.

But seriously, if we are having to rely on Republicans to make stupid statements in order to win...we've got a problem with our own candidates.

[MoonRiver]

4. No one is relying on stupid remarks by Repubs, but they don't hurt either!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Yes!!!!!!!

8. Jeb is the dumb brother

9. Jeb is a fucking idiot

he has non-stop "moments"
