    Didn't you participate in a lawsuit so you could "leech" more money from the government?

    Why yes you did. Welcome to the dependent class.

    Interesting article, and he may be right. However, as it says in one of the updates below the article, it would be better if we had the full context for Romney's quote. It's a little unfair to judge Obama based on everything he said but to only cherry pick a short part of Romney's quote.

    We do have the full context for Romney's quote.


    There's no "we need to convince these people" - like Obama said. - it's "them" and "us", in fact he expressly ruled convincing them out: "[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." this is completely in line with what Ryan & the conservative echo chamber has been preaching for the last 4 years +.

    The other difference between Obama and Romney's remarks is that Romney's is demonstrably false and misleading. Obama's is far more subjective.

    poor basso

    I sense a little defensiveness this morning.

    So you are actually saying that 47% of the country is on food stamps?

    I commend your effort in asking well-thought out questions, but you know they won't be answering any of it, right? Just like in any other thread. You may want to invest your time in other ways.

    Ouch!

    Obama Camp Video Documents Reactions To ‘47 Percent’

    The Obama campaign filmed voters listening to Mitt Romney's comments that 47 percent of Americans consider themselves "victims," and released a web video of their reactions Tuesday.

    "I actually felt sick to my stomach," one woman says in the video. "I don't think anybody's ever looking for a handout. I think that we all want chances and opportunities."

    "That isn't someone who I'm thinking, 'Oh I want him as my president," another woman says.

    Watch:

    basso, it sounds like Romney is talking about you here-

    As a "victim" of some perceived injustice you actually sued the government to get more services that you felt "entitled" to and that you are "dependent" on. Education services would fall under the "you-name-it" entitlement.

    Apparently the video was found by Jimmy Carter's grandson. Romney kept throwing Carter under the bus and now it's biting him in the ass. Nice.

    Yes, when?

    You would think, if it existed, it would be released.

    Good question

    You should start a thread about it.
