Bill Kristol: Romney Remarks Arrogant And Stupid
Conservative columnist Bill Kristol lit into Mitt Romney in the Weekly Standard over his leaked remarks that 47% of Americans are hopelessly dependent on government and thus will vote for President Obama.
"It remains important for the country that Romney wins in November (unless he chooses to step down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve!)," Kristol wrote on Tuesday. "But that shouldn't blind us to the fact that Romney's comments, like those of Obama four years ago, are arrogant and stupid.
Noting that many of the 47% of Americans who don't pay income tax are core Republican groups like seniors and active military, Kristol added that "Romney seems to have contempt not just for the Democrats who oppose him, but for tens of millions who intend to vote for him."

For a minute I almost thought Kristol was having a lucid thought.

We need a President who will "kick the issue down the road and hope that something happens"? Now that, my friends is leadership!

Despite the false equivalency, at least he realizes that Rmoney threw his own base under the bus.

Bill Kristol is a genius! May be Kristol should clutch his religion and gun a little harder.

Romney's remarks were the way you Republican's commonly talk among yourselves. It isn't the remarks that are arrogant & stupid. It's the assholes making them.
