Mitt Romney's campaign responded to the hidden camera footage of Romney at fundraiser claimg that Obama's voters are "are dependent upon government" and "believe that they are victims" posted online in a statement Monday evening.

"Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans struggling in the Obama economy. As the governor has made clear all year, he is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government, including the record number of people who are on food stamps, nearly one in six Americans in poverty, and the 23 million Americans who are struggling to find work," Romney spokesperson Gail Gitcho said in a statement. "Mitt Romney's plan creates 12 million new jobs in four years, grows the economy and moves Americans off of government dependency and into jobs."

1. WHO is gonna get this interview??

"So, Mr. Romney, what did you mean by 'I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives'"?

[Liberalynn]

2. Care to explain the

"my job is not to worry about those people" remark, if you are supposed to care so much about all American's Mittens?

3. And don't forget

"Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans struggling in the Obama economy. As the governor has made clear all year, he is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government, including the record number of people who are on food stamps, nearly one in six Americans in poverty, and the 23 million Americans who are struggling to find work," Romney spokesperson Gail Gitcho said in a statement. "Mitt Romney's plan creates 12 million new jobs in four years, grows the economy and moves Americans off of government dependency and into jobs."

And all you have to do is "vote" for him and "AFTER" he is elected, then you might find out just how he will do all these things while still giving the 1% a huge "TAX BREAK"! Don't worry about all the programs that are helping you now, like medicare, medicaid, food stamps etc., because they won't be around if Romney gets elected anyway!

This along with all the other blunders by Romney pretty much prove this man should never, ever be the leader of this country, period!

4. SECRET VIDEO: Romney Tells Millionaire Donors What He REALLY Thinks of Obama Voters

Mitt Romney: There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…. These are people who pay no income tax…. My job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives…

7. I feel sorry for those poor servers. :(

A captive audience, forced to listen to that nonsense. Romney even managed to insult independents in that video.



Thanks for the link!

5. LOl that's not what Mitt said!!!!!

[kestrel91316]

6. Liar, liar, pants on fire! He basically said he doesn't give a rat's a-- about HALF of America.

[magic59]

8. A reply to the fascist GOP

Americans are entitled to health care, to food, to housing!

[yends21012]

9. I thought they would try to explain it away...

as something that wasn't real or it was made up by somebody, but now they've fully admitted it. Bye bye Romney. Maybe you should just run for president of the club of millionaire donors. It's all the people you want to hang around with anyway.

[Beartracks]

10. You're going to "not worry about those people" and yet move them "off dependency" and "into jobs"??

WTF, Mitt?

Honestly, we have to go with your first answer. It's usually the one that reflects a person most accurately.

==================

[WestSeattle2]

11. Who are they kidding. it's painfully apparent that you

simply cannot believe a word spoken by Mittens or his campaign.

The man is a liar, panderer, and tax cheat. There's not enough lipstick in the world for that pig.

And this is the best the republican party could come up with?

Cue the morbidly obese soprano; it's over.

[itssimplestupid]

12. Not Concerned Enough To Demand They Pass The Jobs Act

What a lying piece of slime. The jobs act could have put as many as 4 million Americans to work and it is "sitting" in the House doa. Romney doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself, and every action he has ever taken proves it.

http://www.RepublicansAreADisease.com

The "Obama Economy" that he inherited from Republican slime. The economy that the Republicans filibustered every bill to make it better.

Yeah, the Obama economy.

And to think there are people out there stupid enough to not understand the ECONOMIC TREASON the Republicans have been engaged in since inauguration night.

God I Hate Republicans.

[marew]

13. All of them are liars! n/t

[donqpublic]

14. After that laughable response...

Gail Gitcho yelled, "Get me Nathan Thurm!"

[progressivebydesign]

15. Remember his comment "the very poor, I'm not concerned about them, they have a safety net." ??

He just can't decide. But we know for sure that he doesn't care about them.

[DemKittyNC]

16. Damnit!

I am so sick and tired of hearing this BS about Mitt Twits plan to create 12 million new jobs when that would happen no matter who was president with the way Obama has set things up. What BS!

[el scorcho]

17. I'll be helping all Americans

by re-electing President Obama and working to make sure he has a Democratic majority in the house and senate.

oh and fuck you Mitt. :gfys

[PD Turk]

18. heh

So let me get this straight.Now Mitt wants to help "all Americans" , but according to him 47% of us are a bunch of freeloaders. So Mitt wants to help millions of freeloaders?

Damn, if played correctly, it's got the makings of a real "Norman" moment.

[Arrowhead2k1]

19. Oh Mitty,

You're done...

[mgarr]

20. Goodbye, Mr. Romney

Goodbye, Mr. Romney.

We don't want to see you anywhere NEAR the White House.

It is going to be a lot more than 47% of Americans who vote against you.

You are not only cynical and vacant, you are frightening.

Go back where you came from.

[Javaman]

21. "You gonna trust me or your lyin' eyes?" nt

[patricia92243]

22. Do the unemployed and people on food stamps, and welfare add up to 47% - the amount of

people that Romney considers dead-beats. Of course not - it has to add seniors who are on SS and medicare - to even come close to the 47%.

What is sad, most republican seniors will not realize that Romney is talking about them.
