Seriously... These past 2.5 weeks have been a disaster for the Romney campaign. Running mate Paul Ryan made Pinocchio sound like Jesus with all the lying he did during his speech at the Republican National Convention. Clint Eastwood rambled to an empty chair at the RNC for 12 minutes. Romney flip-flopped on healthcare more than Gene Simmons got blown by a complete stranger. Ryan tried explaining his vote for a cut in military spending as a vote for anything other than a cut in military spending. Mitt Romney then accused President Obama of sympathizing with the attackers in Egypt and Libya based on a statement sent from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo of which Obama had no part prior to the attacks.
Now a video has been released of Romney saying the following at a closed-door gathering with several large donors on hand:
"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 on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."
Romney also said, "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Ah, so almost half the country is fully dependent on government, eh? It's not even more comical that the Romney team cast President Obama as the divisive one, waging class warfare. Seriously, is Mitt Romney trying to lose this election or does he have a bet going with someone? Perhaps the bet is, "I, Mitt Romney, bet I can make 20 extremely stupid, divisive statements, not give any specifics of my plans and win the election."
I find these words spoken by Mitt Romney to be all the more funny due to his situation. Aren't parents to a child kind of like government is to its citizens? They both look after their children, try to protect them, offer the essentials, with their goal in the end being that they raised some kind, decent, responsible, hard-working, successful kids. With what Romney has said about 47% of the population receiving far too much from its parents (the government) and being too dependent on it, could he not say the same thing about himself? While he seems reluctant to talk about it and when he does, appears to enjoy twisting the truth to place himself in a better light, Mitt was pretty dependent upon his parents. Records show that they paid for his boarding school, college, graduate school and first home, among other things.
Replacing "government" with " their parents," I think Mitt said it best about himself:
"There are 47 percent of the people...who are dependent on their parents, who believe that, that they are the victims, who believe that their parents have the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."
