So all along we have been hearing all this crap about politicians as liars and why can't they come out and say what they mean...
Here we have several instances of comments Romney makes, candidly, where he speaks the absolute truth, and is complete right about it... but it's turned into a big uproar, and Mitt Romney is being called stupid to make those remarks... You know, the ones that the overwhelming majority of us think...
So what is it... did you want a politician to speak honestly... or did you want the wool pulled over your eyes again?
Obama lies to you, promising the moon, but delivering only Swiss cheese... Now we have $16T in debt, stagnant employment figures while many are dropping out of the workforce altogether, and crippling fuel prices which are higher than most Americans can afford to spend...
In the meantime, Obama has been taking tax money from the hard working people, and giving it to those who are either "less fortunate"... or didn't do what they were supposed to in order to afford their basic necessities...
Think Ant and the Cricket... Obama would rather take from the Ants and give to the Crickets without the Cricket having to pay a price, Romney says let the Ants keep what they've earned and we all should do as they do...
So now, in order to distract from the main points of the election, like the economy, the job numbers, his record, and his foreign policy failures, the president and his followers are trying to harp on every word Romney says, as if Romney is being deceitful about his real intentions...
On the contrary... Romney is coming right out and telling you what you ought to hear, but you're not enjoying it... We need to cut spending, since we are spending too much... We need to revise the tax code and make it simpler, flatter, and fairer... We need to revise the entitlement programs to prevent a massive spike in debt as the result of unfunded liabilities...
Yet, the MSM is inaccurately portraying these things as mistakes by Romney...
Mitt Romney is right - we need to revise the tax code and the entitlement programs, not only can we not afford to, but they're creating major problems with government dependence... Oh, but for some reason we can't offend the poor those precious creatures who are all innocent hard working Americans that did what they were supposed to in school and would never break the law or continually repeat negtive behaviors....
Mitt Romney is right - we need to worry that the ethnic groups will end up voting as ethnic groups, rather than to vote as individuals based on principals that they would like to see followed... Most Hispanics agree in principal on most issues that Republicans do, yet for the reason of conformity and popularity they're following the liberal agenda... This would be a travesty if yet another ethnic group gets nearly entirely sucked into a single party as their... Oh, but for some reason its considered okay to reach out to them and ask them how issues effect these ethnic groups as a whole... but not refer to them as members of an ethnic group, and measure how that ethnic group reacts...
Mitt Romney is right - to call out the president for his negligence in protecting American embassies on the anniversary of 9/11, and for his weak apologetic foreign policy positions, which lead to the appearance of weakness that encourages attacks, or leads us into freindships with foreign dignitaries who don't have our best interests in mind... Oh, but the liberal media whined about it being too soon, or Obama not saying the actual words "I apologize"... way to get the large picture.... You still didn't get it when the violence spread to 20 other countries...
Romney is the one who is being accurate in his commentary, it is the liberal media that are mishandling these stories... They're on the side of the generationally impoverished government dependents, the indignant immigrants who come to this contry but dont want to adapt to it, and the negligent leaders who failed to provide security in volitaile areas despite reports of potential violence occuring on a major terrorism threat watch day...
Here's a spoof article by the Onion attempting to discredit Romney for his comments... Only... when you read the comments it further enhances Romney's point...
Romney Apologizes To Nation's 150 Million 'Starving, Filthy Beggars' | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
"The Romney campaign reportedly scrambled into damage-control mode after the video leaked Monday, issuing a statement late last night stating that the intended target of Romney’s remarks was ingrained big-government largesse, not the “hordes of uneducated, loathsome scum who unfortunately populate this country.”
That's exactly how it really is... and I wish Romney had said it nearly as accurate as that...
Nearly 50% of the people in this country do not pay taxes... 50% of earners of taxable income pay an effective tax rate of 2.5%... That's an astonishing amount...
Think of the precedent that sends...
We need to do something about this, and the time to do it is now... That's what Romney is doing... taking the leadership of this issue by the horns... while the president is still pretending to be Robin Hood...
