Laying here under the weather, and doing what I always do when I find myself snuggled in...watching CNN as the news junkie that I am. Seems that someone recorded Mitt Romney at a private fund raiser for well heeled FAT CATS...think UBER RICH. He had some rather explosive things to say, seems to be actually mocking and insulting those who support him...think SENIOR CITIZENS. Lets share here his most explosive statement:
Mitt Romney essentially wrote off 47 percent of the population who he said will always support the president because they “believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax. ”
OK, lets dissect this...For all those senior citizens who are planning on voting for Romney, PAY ATTENTION HERE.
1. Do you, or will you collect social security? If you answer yes to this question, you are a part of that 47,48 or 49 percent who see themselves as victims, who want a FREE RIDE compliments of Uncle Sam and the United States government. NEVER MIND THAT YOU PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY FOR OVER FORTY YEARS!
2. Do you get Medicare as a Senior Citizen? OMG, do you see yourself as a victim, do you see yourself as someone expecting the government to give you something you have not earned, but instead are entitled too? Hello, again if you are on Medicare, YOU EARNED IT, paid into the system for over 40 years so that Medicare would be there when you retired!
3. Do you have a child, parent or other relative with serious medical issues, who is disabled that receives some kind of government assistance? IE, think about our 50,000 troops who have been injured in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you are someone that falls into this category, if one of your loved ones does, you fall into this category of people that Romney DOES NOT CARE ABOUT? In his words, you see yourself as a victim, you expect and even demand that the government give you a FREE HANDOUT!
4. Have you, or anyone you know ever needed foodstamps? Romney does not care for you!
If you, someone you love falls into any of these categories, this is what Mitt Romney went on to say in that private fund raiser about you....
“My job is not to worry about those people,”... “I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
Hello seniors...you worked your entire lives, paid into the system, paid into both the Medicare and Social Security systems so that those benefits would be there for you when you retired...now Mitt Romney is saying it is not his job to worry about you, and even worse, he is saying (basically) that you are a FREE LOADER who does not take responsibility for yourself, is saying you do not care about your own lives. Yet, you are going to vote for him? REALLY?
Faced with his own remarks, Romney DID NOT APOLOGIZE...all he had to say, is that maybe he could have made his statements in a more politically correct fashion! Come on folks...WAKE UP...it is time to toss this out of touch with reality spoiled rotten rich asshole under the bus..
