Today, Mitt Romney Lost the Election

[Katzndogz]

47% of the people don't pay taxes. obama's entire strategy since he parked his ass in the presidential chair has been to increase government dependency.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Calling out 47% of Americans as scofflaws and neer-do-wells is a sign of someone with extremely poor judgment, a lack of empthy and in this case self righteous arrogance. The right has characterized Obama as an elitist - Romney's words characterize him as such better than any partisan Democrat could.

There are reasons why 47% or so of Americans do not pay income tax and no one who pays income tax would trade places with them. Yet the party who holds the poor and working poor in such disdain is also the party which opposes a federal minimum wage, opposes universal preventative health care and scorns public education.

Today, Mitt Romney Lost the Election



You can mark my prediction now: A secret recording from a closed-door Mitt Romney fundraiser, released today by David Corn at Mother Jones, has killed Mitt Romney's campaign for president.


On the tape, Romney explains that his electoral strategy involves writing off nearly half the country as unmoveable Obama voters. As Romney explains, 47 percent of Americans "believe that they are victims." He laments: "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."


So what's the upshot? "My job is not to worry about those people," he says. He also notes, describing President Obama's base, "These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax."


This is an utter disaster for Romney.


Romney already has trouble relating to the public and convincing people he cares about them. Now, he's been caught on video saying that nearly half the country consists of hopeless losers.


Romney has been vigorously denying President Obama's claims that his tax plan would raise taxes on the middle class. Now, he's been caught on video suggesting that low- and middle-income Americans are undertaxed.


(That one is especially problematic given the speculation about what's on Mitt's unreleased pre-2010 tax returns.)




*snip*

I think it all started with his capping on Obama for the embassey attack.


This one is going to polish him off.

They have over an hour of tape.

they are going to dribble it out a little at a time for the rest of the campaign,


Mitt already was floundering and now it will be a real blowout and some Rs in the house and senate will be gone too.


This country is about to have sane leadership for a couple of years.

If obama wins, we have no choice but a military junta which is already in the works.

 

[Truthmatters]

Stating that FORTY SEVEN percent of Americans do not pay INCOME TAXES* and are dependent on government for everything is way beyond WRONG.


*Like the RWNs, Romney appears not to realize there are many, many taxes apart form income taxes. We know he avoids paying income tax when ever possible. Struggling by on 4 million instead of 5 million a year isn't his "style".

Romney is a boldface liar. His entire platform is structured on fabricated premises. Unfortunately a large percentage of American voters are either too ignorant to understand what Romney represents or they are sufficiently weak-minded as to be effectively brainwashed by right-wing propaganda.

you can say the same thing about all those brainwashed by Left-Wing propaganda......let me guess which ass you have your tongue in....

dear fucking idiot,


You are the ones who hate science, teachers, smart people, history and facts.


You depend on fox news for your whole belief system.

That and people who were so fucking crazy even fox kicked them to the curb.


Its you who live in an alternate universe to reality

 

[JakeStarkey]

No such "junta" is in the works excpet in the misworking of your scrambled brain.

If obama wins, we have no choice but a military junta which is already in the works.

 

[Wry Catcher]

If obama wins, we have no choice but a military junta which is already in the works.

Please add a bit more detail.

PS I suggest you change your 'name' from katzndogz to Arnold Burr, after the infamouus Aaron and Bendict.

 

[Katzndogz]

If obama wins, we have no choice but a military junta which is already in the works.

Please add a bit more detail.

So far, two plots in the military against this failed regime have been exposed and the plotters arrested. You don't think these are the only ones, do you? Or the only ones that will ever be. There are topics on this very board about the subject. Look around.

There are 33 million registered republicans and 1.5 million people who watch Fox news of which that groups is Cons, Mods and Dem's.

A study by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, which found that Fox News' audience is more balanced along party lines than either CNN's or MSNBC's.

The study found that 51% of CNN's regular viewers are Democrats, compared to 18% Republicans. Fox News' audience leans Republican but is more balanced overall, with 39% of regular viewers declaring themselves Republicans compared to 33% declaring themselves Democrats. MSNBC's regular audience is 45% Democrat and 18% Republican.

So who is more brainwashed?
It is the Dem's who do not watch a variety of news outlets. Who are so biased against Fox News and always believe the lies that are told to them about Fox and the far left Dem's in their party.

The left keep saying that everyone that is conservative watches Fox News. If that were true then fox should have over 33 million viewer's not 1.5 million.

In back to back weeks Mitt Romney has destroyed his presidential aspirations

Last week he blew away his foreign policy credentials
This week he called working Americans who use tax deductions leeches while he defends tax breaks for billionaires

Like Specialist Burr, and Private Arnold, and Recruit Katzndogz are going to do anything of signficance other than go to jail for the rest of their lives?

If obama wins, we have no choice but a military junta which is already in the works.

It might be that obama's appearance on David Letterman when our nation is in crisis that might lose him the election.

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE....the 47% is SIMPLY ANOTHER LIE....

the lower income people pay federal payroll taxes on ALL of their incomes of which the social security surplus tax is used in the budget to mask the federal deficit, of which income taxes should be paying for.... the lower 50% of individuals also pay the bulk of federal gasoline taxes and cigarette taxes...by sheer numbers alone, and these are also federal taxes collected to pay for the federal budget. Then you add in the corporate income taxes of which the lower 50% of income earners pay every time they purchase something, and other federal excise taxes collected to pay for the federal budget, the lower 50% pays about 15% of their incomes in federal taxes going towards the federal budget, even with paying zero in income taxes....NOTE! federal income taxes collected contributeS ONLY about 30% of the revenues paying for the federal outlays/spending in the federal budget.

in addition to this, look at the chart below and look at what percentage of higher income people that pay NO INCOME TAXES...yet this scumbag and the rest of you extremely ignorant people keep touting the lie your masters have told you to say....another sad day indeed....

over 6,600,000 individuals who pay n0 federal income taxes make OVER 50,000 a year.....over 770, 000 people who pay no federal income taxes earned over $100,000 each....
over 124,000 people earning over $200,000 a year each payed zero in federal income taxes....

over 24000 people that earned from $500,000 to $1,000,000 PLUS paid zero in federal income taxes....

ARE these the 'lowlife moochers'' Romney was talking about?

and you guys bitch and moan about the 34 million people who earn less than $20,000 a year not paying any federal income taxes, of which 15 million earn less than $10k a year???

I will never understand you.....

 

[Plasmaball]

Wow. This is a big fucking deal.

I wonder if Mitt realizes that a whole lot of active duty military are in that 47%?

Why does Mitt Romney hate the troops?

So are 16 million senior citizens.

As is Mitt Romney himself.

I would love for someone to ask him if he meant the military, the seniors or the people that earn their income playing the market.

And if he didn't, who exactly did he mean.

Florida a swing state is on the top ten list of states who have a greater % of people who don't pay income tax.

In a sense Mittens just talked himself out of florida.

 

[candycorn]

Are we sure Romney isn't in the 47%....he doesn't seem to want to release his tax records.

 

[Plasmaball]

In fact, while Romney seemed to say that the president will draw most of his support from those who pay no income taxes, a Tax Foundation map highlighting the 10 states with the highest percentages of "non-payers" shows most are Republican territories:

-- Alabama

-- Arkansas

-- Florida

-- Georgia

-- Idaho

-- Louisiana

-- Mississippi

-- New Mexico

-- South Carolina

-- Texas
