Mitt Romney is at it again! During a May private meeting with donors in Boca Raton, Republican nominee Mitt Romney told his wealthy audience that it wasn't his job to worry about the 47% whom didn't pay federal income taxes. They were moochers, solely dependent upon the government and wouldn't vote for him anyway. As it was a private meeting, Mr. Romney was unaware that it was being recorded and that it would circulate the internet and airwaves more than lesbians scream when they see Justin Bieber. This resulted in his approval numbers falling harder than Dane Cook does for himself. Romney then attempted to suggest that he didn't really mean what he said during that private meeting and he would represent 100% of the people.
Following the beat-down Romney suffered on election day, he decided to suggest to fund-raisers and donors that Obama only beat him because of how generous he was with his gift-giving to certain key demographics - namely blacks, Latinos and young adults.
More specifically, Romney said: "In each case, they were very generous in what they gave to those groups... With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest was a big gift. Free contraceptives were very big with young, college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents' plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008."
He continued with: "You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 a year, being told you're now going to get free health care, particularly if you don't have it, getting free health care worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity - I mean, this is huge. Likewise with Hispanic voters, free health care was a big plus. But in addition with regards to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids, was a huge plus for that voting group."
In actuality, Obama won a slightly smaller share of the young person vote than he did in the 2008 election and there wasn't much difference between the two elections with regard to the African-American vote.
What's funny about this is for one - after Romney went back on his private-meeting words following the video leak and his approval numbers suffering as a consequence, he's essentially going back to what he stated in the video at the outset - that President Obama won because of the dependent moochers of this country. Secondly, he's kind of saying, "Obama won because he did good for some people. Shame on him!" Lastly, Romney makes it appear as if the president was the only one of the two candidates who promised any "gifts" to people. The fact of the matter is that while President Obama offered to provide some help and improvement in the lives of the bottom 98%, Romney only offered these kinds of benefits to the top 2%. While Romney was representing the top 2% of this country, the bottom 98% gave him a gift of our own - a double dosage of middle fingers when casting our votes for Barack Obama.
Why don't you just admit it, Mitt? You got your butt pounded harder than someone named Lance in prison. I think the question the lower 98% of people would like to ask you now is would you like some cheese to go with that w(h)ine?
