That secret tape recording at Romney's $50,000 per plate fund raiser told us who Romney really cares about and its not our belover seniors, disabled, veterans or poor children, because they are in his 47% group of needy and burdensome people. Romney shows contempt for 150 Million Americans ( 47% ) and calls us Moochers. We all paid our Taxes and paid into Social Security and Medicare, but now Romney says we have the nerve to think we are " ENTITLED " to Healthcare and that we want to be treated like victims. That secret tape showed us how out of touch and insensitive the real Romney is. There he was in his normal setting, surrounded by fellow billionaires and all he could do was belittle and attack half of our Nation. Romney has no use or respect for 150 Million Americans. The ironic thing about that tape recording was that it may have been recorded by a servant waiting on all the wealthy donors. Could you imagine that servant, working his or her tail off and having to listen to Romney attack 47% of our great Nation. This coming from a man who wants to be our President. Romneys allegiance is to his Corporate Billionaire friends and partners. Do you think Romney cares about our struggling seniors, disabled, veterans or poor children ? Today Romney rushed out and said " I Care About 100% Of America ", as he stood in front of a sign saying " Save Medicare ".( Thats funny, he and Ryan have plans to dismantle Medicare and turn it into a Voucher System ). If Romney wins, we will lose Social Security and Medicare, because the wealthy dont need it. |

You know that's a crock. The whole thing was taken out of context. People that paid in to the system during their working lives and are now reaping what they are entitled to are not "moochers". I receive both SS and Medicare, I also pay taxes on my pension. If you really want to talk about something, how about the disasterous obama foreign policy????

Sure it was Labrat, Romney was just bluffing at $50,000 per plate. Now you sound like Romney, just change the subject or begin counter accusations.

That tape was carefully edited, leaving out several minutes around the 47% comment. Response to Re: Romney Calls Us Moochers: Sure it was Labrat, Romney was just bluffing at $50,000 per plate.

Face it Labrat, Romney is an out of touch, insensitive corporate billionaire. You can view the whole tape and it only gets worse, not better, attacking 150 million Americans. If you vote for Romney and he wins, I hope you're a wealthy man, because your Medicare is going to be dismantled into a voucher system, that wont keep up with inflation and next they attack Social Security. Romney doesn't care about " THOSE PEOPLE ".as he refers to us in his secret tape..Response to Re: Romney Calls Us Moochers: That tape was carefully edited, leaving out several minutes around the 47% comment.

Ben Swann of Reality check talks about this 47% http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G5s8XteAHg Romney has been rich for the whole life and he believes he can do or say anything without any consequences RNC has nominated him and so called "party loyals" will ALWAYS vote for him even if he did or said something outrageously stupid. They do not think for themselves. (The same is true for Democrats of course) |

You need to go back and take a real good look at what King Obama has done to our health care benefits. Remember no one under 200,000 would have taxes raised well I make only 34,000 a year and had my taxes raised 20%, my TriWest by 25% along with other primeums. If Obama stays in office then expect to loose big time on all Medical Fronts. And as for his aird comment well its the truth, who would give up free hand-outs and actually have to pay their fair share. This is not an intitalment nation we get what we work for and controle our own lives not hearded by the Gov Bosses. I was very disappointed on how much news coverage was given on so called mature retirees booing, we should we should be alot more mature than that with all our life experiances. I was really embarased by the whole thing. GD USN/RET |

If Romney wins, we will lose Social Security and Medicare, because the wealthy dont need it. Posted by mandm84 Romney isn't the first one to have ever said anything like this cause he knew it was popular amongst the right wingers...especially the wealthy like himself. This notion has been parrotting for a long time that ALL the working poor are just lazy and the old people are moochers. I don't know how they can MOCK that toll-taker, the clerks in the stores, the food on arriving on their table fresh and on time, products they own, infrastructure, medical personnel, cleaning personnel, roofers, secretaries and say we have people who are lazy. Ide LOVE to see all these working people just stay home one week and watch how our society goes into a tailspin. Ide love to see the young folks who are mocking start out from scratch without all the infrastructure we have and the progress made in this country since the early 1900's. I also heard the term ---Don't pay the help too much ....it will spoil them. These statements are coming from soul-less people...with such stinking-thinking. And who really believes they'll vote for anyone like Romney after that statement but the most ignorant of our society who isn't rich. |
