Mitt Romney Video: Barack Obama Voters 'Dependent On Government'

Quote:

It's Romney's remark about the president's backers that might have the most potential to undermine his candidacy, however, as Romney seeks to persuade people who voted for Obama in 2008 to switch this time.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney says in one clip. "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."

Quote:

In a separate video, Romney talks about his success. "Both my dad and [wife] Ann's dad did quite well in their lives. But when they came to the end of their lives and passed along the inheritance to Ann and me, we both decided to give it all away. So I have inherited nothing. Everything that Ann and I have, we earned the old-fashioned way."

Romney's parents did pay for his boarding school, his college, his graduate school and his first home.

and the nail in coffin Romney

Quote:

He got closer to the truth in another clip. "There's a perception that all of you were born with a silver spoon. You know, you never had to earn anything and so forth," Romney said to the donors. "Frankly, I was born with a silver spoon."

As I've stated for the past few days....just when I think his days of campaign fails has ended, the sun rises.

Just Mitt being Mitt, nothing can stop him. Congrats GOP!

[Myth is the gift that keeps on giving, he has missed so many opportunities it is no wonder that the Republicans are questioning their choice for president...

Apparently there is a lot of behind the scenes discontent, does that sound familiar.. here is a hint, McCain/Palin..

I wonder if he plans for his children to do the same thing with the $100,000,000+ tax free trust fund he's established for them?

For a political party that almost prides itself on its conformity, Mitt is a breath of bad air.

the funny thing is that the guy filming it IS a donor, and obviously has had enough of Romney.

I'm sure he set aside that money for his children to donate.

Very perceptive of Romney. You look at the number of people getting a check from government and the % who don't pay federal taxes,

Sounds about right. I'll give him credit for being more perceptive that I would have thought.

Typical lefty response in here is so silly.

1) being rich is bad
2) having ever used government services means you can never criticize the government

Talk about brainwashed.
