The ObamaNation Poverty Plantations

If the remaining patriots in our society manage to sink the Marxist vessel piloted by Obummer, what is to be done in four years to continue the progression back toward constitutionalism?

Governor Romney should keep on reminding Americans of this situation. i believe he has hit a nerve and it is a good one. we are a country of independence, not dependence. we have a Declaration of Independence and we celebrate Independence Day. i say keep on trucking.

Romney was off on the details, but he got the essence correct. A single-income family like ours, with 6 dependent children, owes no federal income tax, it's true; but we are not part of the dependent-on-government demo, nor the voting-for-Obama demo. We've been broke a few times, especially the past five years, but we've never been poor and never will be, and no matter how "inelegantly" Romney makes his point we will never vote for the likes of Barack Obama, the man most responsible for thwarting the economic growth that families like ours need to climb back into the 53%.

Benjamin Franklin wasn't afraid to say something that would infuriate today's media. Where are our patriotic statesmen of 2012? Paul Ryan has already done battle with the media over the budget and has proven HE IS NOT AFRAID of them. Unleash the guy. He's the best shot we have. Forget protocol and put him up front, or else let's draft him as an independent candidate and write him in. We're not going to lose this to the likes of Obama and his terrorists. He's laughing on TV when he should be outraged by the death of our embassador. Why? Because he's one of them. It was a victory for Islamists. Don't care what they say, Obama is the worst of the worst and many voters who pledge for him don't understand (blank) other than they think they're voting anti-rich, anti-corrupt corporate weasels. If we lose they'll get just what they deserve. Can't wait to see the surprise on their faces when they find out they won't be living on Romney's confiscated wealth.

His comment was correct! Those 47% that are idiots and think they are entitled to everything will vote for Obama again. They all think he is the savior and not the lying cheating man he is. He doesn't want to help anyone but himself. He's taking our country down and the 47% don't see it and never will. If Obama gets back in we are in big trouble and we will never be able to save our country.

Guess the truth hurts. May it set us free!

The red streaks on the Obama flag are copies of the bloody finger streaks found on a pillar of the US Consulate in Libya. Coincidence? I think not. The republic will NOT survive four more years with this incompetent at the helm, which begs the question as to whether he is incompetent or simply acting out a devious plan to destroy America forever.

The 47% videotape resonates for me because of this sad irony: In Obama's America, even the grandson of a former President can't find work. Just like the rest of us.

I think Romney hit the nail on the head with his remarks about the 47%, and that is why the Obama campaign is so angry.

Mitt Romney was absolutely right on with his comment. Unfortunately the liberal media has taken it and made it a rallying cry for Obama who they wish to remain in power. If he is returned to office for another four years the question we have to ask as a nation is- THEN WHAT is next??

The answer is socialism!!!

Get rid of the vote for.those on welfare. U don't work and or are a benefit to the.country by working. They should not have a vote. They take from the rest of.society. Negroes are still lazy slaves who feel they.are owed because hundreds of.years ago their ancestor's were slaves. Well boo hoo. Get awell job and provide for yourself. Generations of.Negroes on welfare is crap. Stop welfare and are how fast things.change.

Truth is something we all need to live by, and Governor Romney's comment was just that, TRUTH. If people don't know by now that the MSM is sold out to their god OBAMA then you are destined to believe anything. Go see the movie 2016 (or wait to it comes out in DVD in October) and then you can understand the President's agenda; it will all become clear after that.

I predicted, as a life long student of history and political science, that the election of 2008 could well be the tipping point of our Republic. If I was wrong then, I do not pretend infallibility, I do not believe I am wrong in saying, This is our last chance. If Obama and many of the career politicians are reelected, the country as we knew it is not only gone but will never be resurrected. The country has already become a police state. Civil forfeiture without even being charged with a crime makes a travesty of property rights. I am advising my educated grandchildren to look outside our borders for opportunity. Having served as an Infantryman for 32+ years, I would not have dreamed of this statement twenty five years ago.

It is time for personal responsibility to be taught in our homes & schools, preached from the pulpits, & laid out in plain english upon the printed page. That part of the populace is in bondage that must labor to provide for those who do not. Sadly, half of all Americans endure this form of slavery today. May the shackles soon be struck off!!

Our government owes us only two things, security and opportunity. After that, get out of the way!

Romney told the truth. Some people can't handle the truth.

Pardon my thick-headed lack of comprehension, but WTF are you doing with a link to the Obozo website to purchase their product?

Impeach The Treasonous Obama and His Administration. Obama is a cancer on America's Citizens.

Poor Barack! Somehow he had hoped no one would tell the awful truth about his support base. Shame on Mitt for opening up that door for all of us to see. (Please note the above is dripping with sarcasm) Obama really does think we are all stupid!!

Romney merely stated what we have all been saying for the past year. Our country is becoming more like socialist Europe under this administration and the peoples watchdog, the Press, is MIA

WHEN will all Americans see that a vote for obama is a vote for Socialism.Romney has spoken the truth.. some people so enjoy being taken care of by the government from cradle to grave.. they will oppose anyone who tries to get them to help themselves

I didn't write this but think its true.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive an Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of Idiots such as those who made him their president." AMERICA IS BOTH BROKE AND BROKEN

Who will provide for the takers when the providers run out of money? We are fast approaching the day when there won't be enough money to give away. When that day comes everyone will be dirt poor, & living in misery.

Romney's figures were poorly chosen as they include people on Social Security--probably 10% of those he mentioned. Many of them, paid a lot in taxes over their lifetimes, and are not completely reliant on the government. That insinuation is offensive to many oldsters.
In any case, my dog would make a better president than OB.

My dad, a career Army man, taught my brother and I that if we want a good job with good benefits, get a good education because the government owes us nothing. It is and always will be the individuals responsibility to provide for self and family, by God's grace. I have no idea when the notion that government owes everyone something came in to play, but nothing is farther from the truth. I love this country and am proud to be an American. This country is worth fighting for, by ballot or bullet.

Why do you have those Obama campaign symbols in your editorial? Are you trying to show us how absolutely corrupt Obama really is and the tyranny he is going to spread under his Rule By Fiat?

I didn't write this but I think its true

I fought for this country once before. I'll fight for it again if necessary!

I would call Social Security and Medicare "mandated entitlements" ... just like ObamaCare

Romney was absolutely correct and he should be much more vocal about it. It was NOT a political gaffe, it was the truth and it should be brought to light. I can guarantee that the people who do work for a living and who do pay [way too much] of my income in taxes are pissed off about that. Socialism (communism) sucks and will always end badly. Just like fiat currency, it is doomed to failure.

There is one thing I really wish that the media (including so-called conservative media) would talk about incessantly and you guys never do, is the real truth about who is really running things and WHY this country has gone the way it has. WHY it is that congress only passes laws that hurt Americans and never ever help us. PLEASE START EXPOSING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CONTROL. Until yall start to do that, these people in the shadow government and the mega-wealthy bankers [illuminati, CFR, central banks, etc.] will always be able to operate secretly. These are the ones who own nobama and all the wasted payroll masquerading as congress.

If nobama gets re-elected I am leaving the country for good. He will have unlimited free reign to finish destroying the country so that the one-world government people can finalize their plans. They have to destroy the United States to do that and look around... THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Why don't you guys start telling the truth for a change instead of continually dancing around the truth? Talking about the symptoms is OK but does nothing to help rid us of the disease.

When I heard that tape I knew what Romney meant but I also know the opposition, aka the mainstream media, would have a field day. My daughter is in the "47%" and while she is not paying a lot of attention she heard about this and she was offended. Mitt could have chosen his words more carefully but he was speaking off the cuff and it is what it is. Hopefully this will fade in the next week or so and if Romney can avoid give the other side more ammunition let's pray that he can prevail. The thought of another four years under Obama is almost too much to bear.

Unfortunately we may be too late.

As the Heritage Foundation reference book - cited in the PP - shows, the huge increase in Federal dependency occurred in the Bush, Jr. years. Where were we in 2002, 2004, 2006, as well as 2008?

A quick analogous story about California: When Jerry (Moonbeam) Brown was again elected to Governor (2010), I asked some friends why anyone would vote for him. Two voted because they were "True [left wing] Believers" one because he disliked Brown's opponent and one because her government-supported job would likely disappear if Brown lost. I suggest that similar motivations apply here, in addition to the "too-lazy-to-work poor" stereotype.

I was raised to fend for myself and that everything that I obtain should be earned. It would be impossible for me to live off the government because I fear it would take away my self-respect. Now take the polar opposite of my upbringing. Someone who was raised on government services and believes this is the way of life. I believe it is just as difficult for them to change their ways and earn what they need. It will have to be forced on them. But don't think for a minute they will vote for the change. This election will be decided by those on the fence for they represent the tipping point between a free America and one enslaved to the government.

The facts are now coming out right and it is a shame to have people who can work believeing that once Obama is elected they will have more> In fact they will be asked to give back part of what they have. Even the poorest will be doing a bit more to reduce debt. That came right off the David Letterman show> " WE ALL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. All means the poor too will have been effected by this socialist agenda. We will look and act like Russia. NO voices left.

The biggest hangers-on are those that came here illegally, produced children via an american citizen, have that person work at a minamal (reported)n job and sit back and wait for the government hand outs via the ilkligitamate children of their concubine. The law would not allow the irs to clamp down on this in clinton's admin and their has been rampid misuse every since. I think Romney is head on in his remarks.

Machiavelli paraphrase encompasses the notion of “Useful Idiots”: Never lead a revolution, but if you must and you some how succeed, the first thing you must do is kill your supporters, because you will never be able to meet their expectations either.

Another useful Lao Tzu quote: "The fit leader is he whose people say, 'We have done this thing ourselves.'" I guess Barry never heard that one.....

I reciently read a quote from an unknown source. "I came into this world kicking and screaming covered in someone elses blood, I don't mind leaving the same way."

I noticed a 'bumper sticker' in todays essay by Alexander, it read 'rope and chains' under the ubiquitous sotero 'O', I was saying that while the flopeared Teleprompter Kid was still a candidate, based solely on the things he was saying, I was also mocking the bumper sticker that had their names on it, saying 'Obeyme, Blowhard', and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if that became an actual bumper sticker, though I would change it just a little, it would read 'Obeyme, Babblin'. Just a thought.

While I agree with what Romney said, I dislike the attitude, an aire of superiority he came accross with. He said those folks dont matter. Those handicapped dont matter those single moms those with terminal illness those who have served our country to keep him free and on and on. He shouldnt be allowed to wing it, he's not a good speaker and truely is not in touch with the middle class and never will be .People need to feel their leaders really want to help them. He smirks and bobs and weaves like a boxer. He is his own worst enemy.he will lose the election all by his self Im afraid. Well maybe we can survive 4 more obama years and then Santorium ,a true American, with dedicated conservitive beliefs and a strong faith in God above, will take the reins here in America. I now believe we voters need to focus on our senate and congress to prep for a majority there. I think we have lost the presidency in 2012, come on 2016.

Maybe it’s time to call attention to the fact that a small majority (53%) of us are forced to carry nearly half the rest of the country on our backs.

In response to Mr. Obama and his friends, our chant should begin: “We are the 53%! We are the 53%!”

Mr. Romney spoke the truth at this dinner meeting. The truth to the left always hurts, they can't stand it. Mr. Carter junior is a low slug, I hope that what he did will be done to him as well, soon. The American media are anti American, they must hate this country very much or they are paid very well by Mr. Soros for reporting lies and exageration against Mr. Romney and the Republic Party. Shame on all of them, I do not believe anything they have to report, I have stopped listening to them on television and radio, they all are very biased and liers! need I say more!? God bless America, One Nation under God, for ever!!! p.s. Yes, this is STILL, a Christian Nation Mr. President.....We are still Americans under God.

If there's one thing we should all be aware of is that the truth isn't always pretty...but, the truth IS the truth! Generations of families have been on the system -- THAT goes from dependence to expectation and it is NOT right. There is not a Republican or conservative I know who would begrudge a senior who has put INTO the system all his/her life getting social security and medicare; nor ANY veteran getting all the care and assistance they need for their service to our country in defending our values and our lives. We certainly don't have a problem with people who have lost their jobs due to the mishandling of our economy by the current administration getting assistance as they continue to try to get back on their feet. THAT, however, is NOT redistribution of wealth. I don't have much, but what I have I have worked very, very hard for for the past 35 years...I will be damned if I'm going to let some idiot socialist take it and give it to those who feel entitled! I pay for my own healthcare, and did for my son when he was growing up -- ho one offered, nor was I led to believe, that anyone but ME was responsible for my son's well-being. I put food on the table, I paid his medical bills, I gave him everything I could -- NOT everything he WANTED! He had an absent father and learned from that how NOT to be a father. He has now opened a second business, has just bought his first home, and is doing very well -- sadly, in Australia because his America, my America, couldn't get him where he wanted to go. This is OUR country -- we have to be willing to FIGHT for it!

I find it disconcerting to see an Obama add in the middle of your publication, not once but twice!! I was under the impression you din't allow adds inside your publications.

Interesting 47% wow. I am not surprised and way to go Romney for standing on your words. I am a bit perplexed that if it was Jimmy Carter IV that taped and released this "supposedly whole video", why he or someone, chose to edit it (per Fox News) and leave out pertinent positive data by Romney??? I guess the far left didn't want the "public" to really see the TRUTH. Shame on you Jimmy Carter IV or whoever did the editing of the truth. I am not surprised either since I saw the Dem's Caucus' editing of "God and Israel"...oh God's OUT...no...God's IN... sound familiar? One day the Dem's will pay...on God's day!!! He might say: "dem's are down and out". Good luck with that and God bless.

Our currrent president, Barack Obama told us what he was going to do, why did so many fools not believe him? Of course, the takers will always vote for more free stuff, the Democrat Party has been telling them it is their right to have what you and I worked for, for many years. Now we are almost at the point where the takers out number the tax payers, when that happens this country is finished, as a super power, welcome to the third world!

I whole heartedly agree with the statements made by Mitt Romney about the 47% who don't pay taxes and your analysis that 30-40% of them have no reason t support lowering our $16-trillion national debt. If we can not admit or acknowledge the problem we can not solve it.

So how do we convince these folks who depend on government payments for their lively hood, and I'm not talking about those who receive military retirement, Social Security Retirement, or for those who simply can not support themselves, that when the government goes bankrupt or the economy collapses they will HAVE NOT PAYMENTS of any kind from a government that is broke? This view that no matter what those government checks will still come at the first of each month is beyond all comprehension. These people are living in an alternative universe.

Ours is a representative government. Before we look to violence to restore liberty, let us consider that the problem lies not with our elected officials but in the people who elect them. Most of us saw that Clinton should have been impeached, but was protected by a democrat Senate, yet he was re-elected overwhelmingly. The same will likely happen with Obama. The problem is not that Obama will serve another 4 years. The problem is we have failed and the liberals have won at educating others. Before we ever take up arms, we must make a renewed effort to point out the failures of the left and support those tea party candidates who will support our constitution. Remember, too, that most revolutions lead to dictatorships, not a renewed constitution.

The article which I have just read is absolutely true,Most people like this is on a handout from the gov. We as a nation could quit taxing the citizens and quit giving to tyhese other foreign countries, most of whom hate us and look after our own affairs here in america we would be better offf!!!

So what else is new? The Liberals and Progressives can't handle the TRUTH.!!!

A response many make to the 'they don't pay taxes' comment is that, well, they pay Social Security/Medicare. Since those taxes 'pay for the program' only about three fourths of the year, for the rest of the time even they are completely dependent upon the largesse of the income taxpayers. In fact, beginning about now and until the end of the year, the feds have spent ALL the revenue they expect to receive this year. As a result, every check - from the President's salary, Defense contractors, SS, Medicare, etc. - actually is a bounced check, supported only by China and the others who buy bonds (disregarding the paper garbage provided by the Fed Reserve).

re: P.S. Regarding Obama's Hitlerian ObamaNation flags from his official Web site -- unbelievable! For the record, desecrating our national colors, under which so many Patriots have fought and died, causes me a little heartburn.... I remember watching in horror as Jesse Jackson and his group marched into the Democratic National Convention held in San Francisco many years ago waving countless American flags all created in pastel colors. That was when I dissavowed the Democrat Party and became a Republican. My Father shed blood, sweat and tears under and for the red, white and blue flag of our Country and they dishonored it.

See www.examiner.com: "The UnSkewed Average of polls released today shows a Mitt Romney lead over Barack Obama of 51.5 percent to 43.7 percent." This was reported on Sept. 18th, adjusted for disproportionate number of Democrats in the polling samples.

Romney only voiced what the 53% (others) really think. Even the so called independents do not like what is happening to the tax paying 53%.

In fewer than two months, we will find out if enough Americans understand that the ONLY source of government money, at ANY level of government, is the American people, through the taxes they pay. If high unemployment persists, and if the economy fails to expand at a higher rate than at present, then Americans must turn Democrats out of office in November, or face the bleakest future imaginable. That future will include loss of military power and international stature, hyper-inflation, and economic implosion that will affect at least a generation of our people, because Democrats will simply not stop spending money beyond the tax revenue that flows in. Rock bottom will probably arrive around 2030 or so . . . pleasant thought, isn't it?

Obama exemplifies everything our boys fought against in World War II !

"Re-distribution" equals COERCION!!! Four more years of this guy, and the Democrats will be a dead party.

I believe that Romney's comment is right on the mark. I do not believe any apology is needed.

I'm sorry but wasn't it the GOP who instituted the earned income credit? Didn't Bush expand the government to unheard of size? Didn't the GOP during the 90s allow Clinton to push ninja mortgage loans?

Both parties grow govwernment and steal from our pockets to grow the beast. Will Romney kill any federal agencies? Will he cut foreign aid or end affirmative action? Wake up people your liberties are being stolen each day. Now I understand how Hitler came to power.

Mitt Romney doesn't have all the answers.Even if he did left wingnuts would continue to throw wrenches into the works. Mitt Romney is the only candidate that is capable of turning our economy around.While we taxpayers will have to take a hit with either candidate,no way around it,America is better off with a new administration.

The outrageous attacks that are being hurled at Romney are vicious lies and propaganda that are utterly despicable to honest, upright Patriots.

God help us to defeat the regime that wants to disperse our hard earned money to those who depend on socialist handouts.

We have to reduce government,produce our own utilities and fuel. Screw the EPA. As far as i know the U.S. is the only country abiding by clean air acts,etc.Making our citizens foot the bill,such as the refrigerant fiasco.While i think it healthy to limit as much as emissions as possible,not to the extent it shuts down American jobs and puts more Americans in poverty.

If Obama wins again every conservative quit their job the next day!

When you add all the overment employees and union members to the 47% things are looking grim.

As long as the focus is on whether the government handouts will continue at their same level, that segment of voters will vote for the hand that feeds them. However, they are not a consolidated mass. They have many complaints. Focusing on their complaints can move them to vote for a better day.

Abraham Lincoln focused on freedom for the slaves. The welfare recipients are now slaves without hope of escape just as the plantation slaves were in Lincoln's day. Many of his speeches could be given today giving hope of new freedom for the enslaved welfare recipients. Perhaps, many of them will vote for Liberty if the dialog is changed to give them that hope.

I TOTALY AGREE WITH MITT ROMNEYS STATEMENT THAT AT LEAST 47 PERCENT OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE BECOME DEPENDENT ON BIG GOVERMENT TAKING CARE OF THEIR NEEDS.!!!!!!!! WHICH IS A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS FOR OUR COUNTRYS FUTURE THE DEMOCRATIC LIBERALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE CURRENT RESIDENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BANKRUPTED OUR COUNTRY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE YEARS WE CANNOT AFFORD THE VILLAGE IDIOT AND HIS PARTY THET HAVE TO GO.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a constant source of annoyance and frustration to me that the leftmedia is able turn truth into slander or libel and libel and slander into fact...with impugnity...and maintain their credibility amongst a huge part of the population. In this case of media espionage, what is Romney's sin? Causing socialist leaning America to look into the mirror? The statement is entirely consistent with his message on the campaign trail but, because it was uttered in a 'private club' and recorded surreptitiously, somehow the press is able to imbue it with a sinister meaning and intent. Since Obama's coalition of useful idiots comprise enough electoral power to take this election, I am becoming increasingly despondent and alienated as we approach November. Nevertheless, I have not lost hope. John J. McCloskey, Sr.

Mark, A little heartburn? Having served this nation for 17+ years under the Stars and Stripes what they have done to my flag is thoroughly disgusting. Like Nathan Hale, I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. The patriots must unite in our cause to preserve the freedoms that many before us have died for or their efforts and deaths shall have been in vain.

In effect, what Mr Obama has done by circumventing just one portion of the US Constitution by way of NDAA, is to deliberately wage war on “We the People”. This is an impeachment offense and nothing will be done about it.

Waging war on the US by any American is TREASON and punishable by DEATH.

Mitt Romney was absolutely right. It was no gaffe! Talk about Hope and Change...Romney & Ryan are presently our only hope to change the unbelievable direction our country has headed in the last four years under Obama and his administration. Hard to believe so many Americans are willing to follow these people over the cliff like mindless lemmings, but it's a fact of life. Our hope lies in the Republican Party. Our first hope lies in God. May He rescue this nation which He has blessed so abundantly and help those in power who give their allegiance to Him pull us back from the brink while a few moments remain.

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville That day has arrived,

The only thing I want to hear the president say is: "I called president-elect Romney to congratulate him."

Those who are dependent upon the government for aid, foodstamps, SSDI, etc, include those who are forced to cling to this assistance for survival. Some have simply never known the experience of earning their own income. I do think that the security of a government deposit to the bank account on the first of the month cannot be compared to the promises of a rich candidate who promises to provide jobs to replace that monthly security. First of all, the probability of creating all those jobs seems unrealistic in this economy. Second, cuts to entitlement programs is a vague threat, but a serious one, to the only income many of these people receive. They might not be ready to go to work for whatever reason. It can be scary going back into the work force after getting aid for a considerable amount of time. A vote for Romney equals trusting a guy even many conservatives are cool towards. Its no wonder Romney is making little progress in these camps. Romney needs to convince these dependent groups that he will not harm them, but only has their best interest at stake and will work hard to transition them into independence instead of dependence. Then they will ask for details. If Romney can't provide anything now (and it better be convincing)he may not be able to produce after the election. I think a lot of people (I definitely am NOT one of those) feel its safer to take their chances with Obama because he is one of them, than Romney, and that at least Obama will keep the checks coming so they can feed their families. I am, of course, talking about people who would rather be working, not those who like sitting around.

Welcome to the Brave New World of the ShameUs O'Bama where an honest man is punished for telling the truth.

I don't think many in the dependent class realize Obama is taking advantage of them to gain power to use against them. This is the lowest form of parasitism, but then what do you expect from a man who spends unlimited tax dollars for his own enjoyment but has made no personal sacrifice for any other human being? Where are the stories of the humanitarianism of saint Obama?

Never in the history of this great nation have we had so many who feel the government, nay, the entire world owes them. Individual initiative is dead. Creative thinking is gone. We have completely abandoned the principles, ethics, and moral compass established by our founding fathers. Allowing, instead, political correctness and liberal ideology to reign supreme. Education is a complete farce and the media have sunk to lows that would make some of the world's historical propagandist drool with envy.

Obama should be tried for treason on many different levels.......

Romney is mistaken. As one who pays no federal income tax and even takes the much maligned earned income tax credit, I will certainly vote for Romney even though he doesn't get it about conservatism. Although the intention of liberals is indeed to make as many people as possible dependent, that is not the result. Poorer people take handouts for the exact same reason the wealthy take tax breaks; because they can and they believe in improves their standard of living. This "us versus them" rhetoric is really bad medicine politically.

OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST MARXIST WHO FLAUNTS TO RULE OF LAW. ROMNEY'S COMMENTS WILL NOT HURT HIM. HE HAS TO PRESS THIS PRESIDENT IN ORDER TO WIN. THE DEBATES WILL BE CRUCIAL. IF ROMNEY PRESSES JOBS, THE ECONOMY AND THE DEBT DAILY, HE WILL WIN.

Your all nuts. This communist conspiracy stuff played well during the cold war and it was all BS, get over it. Wanna talk something positive, figure out how to get out the 11 year war in Afganistan

Apathy and complacency bringing about the destruction of our Republic. We think immediately of those on welfare who do not work, who have learned to "milk" the system for all it's worth. They are not the only ones to suffer the consequences. The real problem is with those who leave politics to others, who don't get involved. They allow the MSM to feed them pablum every night. Well, those people have no right to complain when the money is no good anymore, and gold and silver is confiscated. Don't think it can't happen. There will not be enough food to go around because the land was given to growing corn for ethanol. Not enough oil because we need more wells. A Supreme Court packed with uber liberals, and our God given rights are gone. All the blood shed by patriots from Valley Forge to Afghanistan will not matter anymore. Well it's not over! Romney may not the best choice but he's the only choice we have. We need to get behind him and give him the support he needs and quit complaining. Obama must be defeated! We all know people who fit into the complacency syndrome, we need to change their minds regardless of their circumstances. Every vote matters!

Excellent article on the ObamaNation Plantation! "No society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce." --Thomas Sowell Here we have a nation in which nearly half of the citizens are living off the other half. In short, I have to work two jobs so I can pay for all the parasites living off my labor. One job for me, and the other for the bums who produce nothing, yet increasingly want MORE "free stuff." I recently saw a picture of a protestor carrying a sign which read, "Just get the government to print more money." How foolish! The more currency that is printed, the less it is worth. By that logic, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving could print a single-issue bill with "16 Trillion" in the corners and pay off the national debt. And I would be willing to bet that our debtors would run all the way to the bank with that note! Didn't depression-era Germany try the same thing? To the point that a wheel-barrow load of Deutschmarks wouldn't buy a loaf of bread?

Listen up everyone! The 'vote for a living' voters clearly outnumber the 'work for a living' voters by a couple per-cent. What does this mean? Sorry folks, it means the democrat's will continue to rule in Washington.

REPUBLICANS - STOP being distracted by inconsequential fluff. 30 - 35 % of the American Population receive government assistance. Many of those HOPE to maintain their "victim" status and may be threatened with the loss of those benefits with a CHANGE to a request for responsible action, like work. like HORROR,

How does the President have the power to change a LAW that requires the pursuit of work or active work to receive govt benefits, to no work ??!! I am seriously asking for an answer.

Another tragedy occurs when people receive entitlements rather than earning money through hard work to take care of themselves, their families, and communities--they grow lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated .

ADDENDUM to earlier comment: When all the those who produce and provide jobs are eliminated through excessive taxation and over-regulation, who will be left to redistribute non-existent wealth to the non-producers? Just a thought...

Saw a bumper sticker the other day. It was an oval one that usually reads, "Wag more, Bark less." This one had a different message, "Work more, Beg less." I nearly ran off the road, I was laughing so hard!

This comment is nowhere near as damning as Obama’s comment to the Russian president that after the election he will have more flexibility on US arms control. Romney’s statement, while meant to be kept within his group, was an incontrovertible statement of fact. Now that it is out, rather than hide from it or apologize for it, he should be making hay with it. If I were Romney, I would make it a bullet point in every presentation I made. Let’s get those paying for this obscene government largess thinking about the cost to them, and the complete waste and lack of necessity for it so they will vote for someone who will put a stop to it.

MAH in WI made the statement "They might not be ready to go to work for whatever reason. It can be scary going back into the work force after getting aid for a considerable amount of time." and it brought to mind a passagae in Proverbs 26:13 "The sluggard says, There is a lion in the way. A lion is in the streets" You never know what you may encounter on your way to work. RADDAD

On the Michael Medved radio show this week, he interviewed a communist leader from here in the US, (I didn't catch the name) who confirmed that they don't use the democratic process - they don't vote- but when their supporters reach 50 million they would march on DC, (with 50 million supporters they would undoubtedly have supporters in the armed forces) and say, (paraphrasing) "We're taking over, your time is over. You are out of power and we are in power." How many food stamp recipients are there today? Was that 46.5 million? Of course not all of them are abusing this program and giving up their Liberty for sitting on the couch or whatever communist minded people do with their time, but dependancy is a pit that is hard to climb out of. You know - crabs in a bucket.

The number 47% is actually confusing. Yes, 47% of the public pays no income tax and many are on government subsidies but when taken into account those working union members, federal government employees and Wall Street bankers benefiting from Ben Bernake printing money and causing the stock market to rise it does appear President Barack Obama has a clear 53% majority advantage going into this election thus ensuring a second term of office regardless of the economy, housing market or unemployment rate.

Unfortunately, Mitt Romney's percentage of people on the public dole is correct. Also unfortunately, this group will vote to keep their generous dole that sustains their livelyhood. At times I fear to include myself in those numbers because 100% of my income (because I am 100% disabled) comes from the government; however, I am consoled by the fact that I served 20 years in the military whereby I obtained my afflictions through honorable service (plus, I still pay taxes). Nonetheless, Mr. Romney does face a formidable foe in that Obama starts the contest with a solid set of voters in his favor. Hopefully Mr. Romney can overcome this disadvantage but don't discount the fact that when it counts, Democrats seem to have the dead vote, a greater number of voters than exist in the precints and a host of other strange phenomenon. I believe that if Obama does attain a second term, it will be by the nefarious means characteristic of the Democrat party when times are tough. Should that occur, I give this nation a maximum of two years (ie, 2014 maybe 2015) before it ceases to exist as it currently does.

I'm elated a national level politician finally stated the facts - but I just hope the truth doesn't hurt Romney's election chances.

I have been saying this all along...that we are too politically correct in this country.

But I have been also saying for a long time - the dog doesn't bite the hand that feeds it. And there are many {dogs} that with cast a paw for Obama for that very reason.

Dr. Lyle Rossiter has it completely right about Liberal policies and Liberal thought. And Frued had it right about responsibility - that people fear freedom because freedom involves responsibility, and people are frightened of responsibility. This speaks to the a large majoirty of the population who are just as happy to continue their survival off the backs of others.

The truth hurts, doesn't it - but not too many people in politically corect America would say it for fear of ridicule.

This 47% speech that is being spread all over the media.. may well be the end of Romney's campaign. It doesn't matter that it is the truth.. especially that it is the truth, is the problem. The Left/Media cannot allow the truth to go unpunished in order to keep the plan in place.. the plan to make America more and more Socialist at every opportunity. It is THE biggest plank in the Democrat Platform- it is the basis for the Communist Party USA existing. It is the reason our schools teach the Communist ideals, denigrate marriage and God, encourage teen pregnancy and multiple births by unwed mothers, and expect them to NOT reveal the father, in order to facilitate a bigger welfare check. it is the reason the MSM pushes the GLBT agenda, the Muslim agenda and any other agenda that is against the USA, exceptionalism, God, Marriage and family. Promote the Nanny State.

IS IT ALREADY TO LATE!!!! THE BIBLE SAYS ALL NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD WILL BE TURNED INTO HELL!!!

Mitt I feel is so right. Many feel the Goverment owe then, a living. That is not the American way of life. Who gets anything for nothing...No one. Some one has to pay for all the food, schools,free c-phone, food stamp, housing. ect.Where does that come from the tax payers. The Demo, have it all wrong we all need to give back to country. Good luck to you Mitt.

The REAL difference, Romney supporters sign their checks on the front, and Obama supporters sign their checks on the back, its all about dependence.

We should all put signs in our front yards saying: "I am part of the 53% that's tired of being forced to support the other 47%!"

My greatest fear is that Romney will be voted into office and the American people will go back to sleep and this great country will continue its decline unabated.

OF COURSE "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul". We have to learn to vote for what is best for the nation and not what is best for "me".

To those who would criticize Mr. Romney, I would ask: When you were young, did you ever go to school with only a cold biscuit for lunch; have you ever been homeless; have you gone without lunch for three years while you worked your way through high school; have you struggled to get that first job so you could make a living for yourself? I have and and now I am on Social Security for which I paid over the years, while the government spent the money on other things. And yes, I support Mr. Romney 110 per cent. He's right on.

The 2012 prophecies may very well be the Patriotic American uprisings as a result of Obama's reelection.

Best to be prepared and independent, as the majoirty of us are.

I certainly wouldn't want to be one of those unprepared, government dependent liberals, since attrition alone will wither their ranks considerably if such an event posed itself.

Keep the oil and powder ready just in case!

While the cycle of liberty & rule of law has demonstrated itself in the past to go from bondage to opulence back to bondage, I believe that this cycle is NOT irrevicably fixed in a guarenteed observance. I believe that the people have the ability to change this cycle & instead, live in the stage of opulence indefinitely. The key to this change requires a society based on religious principles and ideals. It also requires that the people become involved in their government - and in the efforts to maintain it. It is my fervent hope & prayer that the American people wake up and get involved before it is too late.

The comment is actually very factual especially when taken in the context of the gay & lesbian movement, the green people and the women lib group. There is a radical base element that will always vote Democrat, have been for generations and one only has to view past Democratic conventions, promise everything and everything for free. Unfortunately this group which is growing fast has never really gotten anything but empty promises, but because of pollitical payoffs to community leaders and the unions, they stay in line and vote Democrat. The former soviet union was very similar, like a dog chasing its tail around a tree, so long as it does not catch it, it keeps chasing, but catch it (goes broke) and everything stops. We are very, very close to that tipping point and if good people do nothing, good bye USA.

Why should Gov. Romney be penalized for stating the truth? Obama is obviously building a classless welfare state.

I have to wonder why it is that media, Libs, Muslims and other totalitarians are SOOOO afraid of an honest truth? Oh wait, maybe it's that they realize they might lose some of their power and control if people hear the TRUTH! That it might just raise questions about what's actually happening! Romney just uttered a FACT; that it was pointless to waste his time and money to try to "convert" those who are so tied to Obama's lies economically that nothing would convince them to vote against him! He didn't say he hated those folks; in fact I suspect he's more pitying of their plight and the hole they choose to stay in, by supporting Obama, and wants to provide the ladder with which they can climb out of it; but he knows they WON'T vote for him at this point, no matter what he says now.

Socialism is SLAVERY, Capitalism is FREEDOM It is time for a second freeing of the slaves.

Unfortunately, when we were living in Cuba when Fidel Castro came to power, we heard lengthier speeches from Fidel, but the same points that Obama is making now. Will we go down the same road? We'll find out in November, won't we... Vote against Obama & Co.

When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can count on Paul's support.

I think this person in the WH and the people he hangs out with have lost all touch in reality...Time for a change so we can get hope going again!!

I totally agree with the Statement Romney made basically because he is absolutely right, and has nothing to apologize for to the Pres. or the People. He made a valid point and if it stings the Democrats, all I can say is they shell reap what they sew! Hind site won’t bail them out of this one, nor will trying to cast blame, as they so often do on others. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it isn’t a Goose!

Your words echo similar words I've spoken in the past but rarely written in so public a venue. Quite frankly, I have tried to avoid being place on The List that I have no doubt is being prepared even now in Washington, DC. The List will those who must be silenced in order to avoid incitement to revolution.

However, the tree of liberty must be regularly refreshed with the blood of partiots and tyrants, and I believe that we are past fixing the problem at the ballot box. I predict riots following the November election, no matter who wins. I also predict mttacks on American soil very soon by Islamists who are ready to bring the war to us, knowing that our national will is weak and our leadership is conplicit.

But I have decided that I must join you in speaking out. So there, put my name near the top of The List and rest assured that I am a person not to be trifled with. My oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, given upon becoming a Marine 40 years ago had no expiration clause; it is still in effect.

What's the problem with this nation, that when the truth is uttered it becomes a big controversy!? What we need is more people with a spine to speak the truth and stand firm on it. It is the unadulterated truth that will set us free. Does it not give us pause as to why we would support any candidate that constantly has to spin or even hide their agenda......One who says he'll have more flexibility after the election sounds like one concealing the truth of what he intends to do with this nation. Politicians who enslave the populace via government programs are as bad if not worse than the plantation owners. While one would not propose returning to the days of legal slavery, it seems many politicians, specifically the individual residing in the white house, have no problem enslaving as many as possible to government dependence in order to get their votes. Yez massa ....amazing that is the desire of the first black president. How very disgusting and evil! As horrific as forced slavery is, at least the slaves of the south had the dignity of knowing they were productive. Not even that dignity is afforded to the slaves in 2012.....they are penalized for doing anything of value! Shame on Obama and all who embrace his lies!

We desperately need to resurrect the "Treason" law that was enforceable during World War II. With a Muslim President and rising numbers of Muslims in the USA who adhere to Koran and Sharia law precepts that are not compatible with our Constitution we need to take control once again and stop the take-over of our great country. If Romney-Ryan get elected and the Republicans control congress too we need to get "Treason" back into enforceable law with the caveat that it is not reviewable by the Supreme Court.

What is the difference between the Ward dealer in the 1930's giving tjhe voter a $10.00 bill and a cigar and todays giving welfare by the Democrat party?Their $10.00 bill and cigar was their money, although they probably stole it, but welfare is your (taxpayers) money. Jerry

Romney is so right and should lauded for his comments all over the press. Dirty Democratic politics makes me say again and again "shame on you" Democratics. Makes my blood boil!

Romney needs to start convincing the "47 %" free loaders that he has a plan that is far better than Obamas that will help them. God only knows what that would be without lying.

Romney is correct! But leave it to the liberal Dems ..or the other name for them...The Progressives....to play his comments back as a scathing remark! Anyone in politics KNOW what he said is absolutely true!

Romney is correct! And anyone who is involved in politics knows this to be true!! The Democrates..at least the Progressive ones..will do their best to make Romney's comment scathing !

That O-flag is just creepy. Jim Jones would like it.

Everyone should inform Gov. Romney to stop the mild platitudes and get on his high horse and start telling it like it is no matter who he offends in the "lamestream News Media" He needs to bear down and call a "shovel a shovel". (I don;t wan't to be called a racist. Ha Ha

I appreciate the information your staff has publicly broadcast. I personally believe that, even though Romney might triumph in the election, he may too little, too late. We have had 2 previous warnings to "get our house in order," one in 2001, another in 2008. In my religious beliefs, the seven-year cycle will be here again in 2015 and it may just be the final warning. No one in authority has perceived the consequences of our arrogance and defiance which followed on the heels of these events. Current "leadership(?)" is totally clueless regarding the outcome of "thumbing your nose at God." I speak personally and others might take me to task over this; but I stand by my beliefs.

I take issue with only the broad brush used. Many disabled people consequently do not pay taxes, due to birth defects, accidents, or some other disabling circumstances, in addition to those affected by job losses resulting from the President's ignorant policies on governing. Suggest Romney amend his statement during the 50 days left before the election. It's his to lose by alienating that electorate lumped in with those that "milk" the system because they can.

It's too bad the focus of this whole part of the debate is limited to those who receive direct federal subsidies. The block of feceral government employees who are concerned - justifiably, I would hope - that their high-wage, high-benefit jobs at the expense of those who work in the private sector would be joepardized by a Romney administration are a huge block of DEPENDENT voters who are also relatively untouchable by a campaign of fiscal reason and responsibility.

The local paper printed their opinion piece on the front page, of course they left out the part about it being "income" taxes the people weren't paying they said it was "taxes". Today the printed a small note on the front page saying it was "income taxes" the comment was saying. At least they corrected the comment (a day later), now if rational discussion takes place people will have to admit Romney was telling the unvarnished truth!

Five years ago, when Mark Alexander referred to then-candidate Barack Obama as an "ideological socialist," I thought that was too strident.

Four years ago when Alexander took Obama to task for declaring his intent to "fundamentally transform the United States of America," and claimed Obama was intent on doing just that, I thought that was a stretch.

Three years ago when Alexander outlined Obama's economic strategy to "break the back of free enterprise," I thought for sure any such plan would have already been exposed by conservative think tanks.

Two years ago when Alexander asserted that Obama was "the most dangerous threat to Liberty of any president in the history of our Republic," I thought that was too discordant and disrespectful of the office of president.

Last year, when Alexander wrote about the Left's agenda to completely undermine our Constitution, I thought that could never happen.

This week, in his essay "The ObamaNation Plantation -- Outing Obama's Socialist Political Agenda," Alexander concluded, " The good news is that if Obama's re-election serves as the tipping point for that plunge [into tyranny], there is always the option of restoring Liberty by bullets when ballots fail -- the notion that the ballot box is not the only path to restoring Liberty may make some in our Patriot ranks uncomfortable. But that must be all the more motivation for every one of us to contribute the utmost of our time, talent and treasure toward ensuring an electoral outcome that restores our heritage of God-given Essential Liberty."

Well, I finally figured out, better late than never, that Mark Alexander has been right all along!

As a Civil War historian, and the knowledge of what the soldiers from the north who served under our flag thought of it, the flag that the Obama Campaign would do this to it, is beyond the pale.. I mean this is incredibly insulting to their memory!!!!!!!!! This guy literally has no clue nor understanding of our history nor understand of what the Flag means to us as a nation and a people.. Period. He is a loser. End of story. Heck he shouldnt be relected, he should be impeached. Period.

I think there is 3-5 percentage points in the 47 who will vote for what is best for their country and not their personal finances.

I personally believe there are also a great number of federal employees who feel or know their livelihood would be endangered by a "republican" president as well. Add these several HUNDRED thousand plus group of citizens to the total and the balance has tipped in favor of more government and more handouts.

Had Ron Paul came out of the primaries ILO of Romney, virtually 50+% of the "constituents" would have something to lose in the long term.

If Obama is reelected and pursues his socialist agenda, he will force those States where liberty and the Constitution are still respected to give serious consideration to secession. That could lead to bloodshed in the streets, in the 2nd American Civil War. We MUST get rid of Obama, to prevent him from driving our country into so tragic a conflict.

Some outstanding observations in today's posts. Great read! That final paragraph in the PP, in re some may be reluctant to go the bullet route. Sure, there will always be those reluctant to set about what must be done. Washington, along with a great many of the Founders, was reluctant. But he did. Took him eight years, with about three percent of the (then) population. There are today a great many not at all reluctant to rise with a rifle. If the federals were not believers of such an event, why did they recently purchase something around a quarter million rounds of ammunition? Begs a question; who is going to (if necessary) use that ammo? The 47%? Not likely. Military? Again not likely. Because much of the military does not agree with the current directions of the current leadership. Remember the Oath reads, and is spoken, "---lawful orders of those appointed over me--" operative word there is lawful. An order to fire on civilians or their families is not likely to be obeyed.. So who? Can only be those of the government that believe in the Obama cure. I suspect that number is far, far less that Mr. Obama believes it to be. The ballot box should get the trick done, but it is the Congress that is important. The very best reason to not permit a third party splinter. We must have a Republican controlled Congress. Both houses! Had there been a Republican majority in the Senate, Clinton would not have had that second term. And would not now be in the shadow in his third term. Carter III, recall, is a Democrat, That is what we must oust with the ballot box. The Democrat Party! Failing that, may require the bullet box.

I don't see a problem with what Romney said. Jimmy Carter IV is 35 yrs. old & unemployed, now that's a problem!

If Romney had said "a large fraction of Americans" instead of 47%, he would have told the truth without possibly offending those who receive Federal benefits but still believe in conservative principles. He needs to be more careful in what he says, and he needs to get rid of his mealy-mouthed advisors and speechwriters. He would have a much better chance of winning if he hired Dick Morris instead. Time is running out, Mitt.

Okay, can someone explain to me how Obama has time to appear on David Letterman and The View, but has no time to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel, to discuss further sanctions on Iran. I mean they are only in the process of developing a Nuclear Bomb... I think we have time to put off one of our biggest allies for Barbara Walters and her girls!!!

Posted on yahoo by someone named Carolyn

Romney would sweep this election were he to do ONE thing. Gather together 500 or so primary care practitioners, across this nation, from geriatrics, family medicine and internal medicine that have LEFT THE PROFESSION for resource positions, consultants, insurance company gigs...there are thousands of us that are no longer at your bedside or in the clinic. Our practicing hands have been cut off by this administration. Our days were increasingly taken up on the phone to insurance companies begging a 20 year old with a script, for a CAT Scan instead of an MRI. Begging for permission to do an inpatient admission for our 88 year old lady needing a bilateral total radical mastectomy, instead of at an outpatient surgi-center. . Yes. 88 y/o ladies get their breasts chopped off and go home woozy and depleted four hours later, and wake up that night alone, bandaged like a mummy with JP drains coming out of their carved chest. Broke my heart. Back to school and now in biomedical engineering. People. You need to think about what you want this next four years. This healthcare bill is no good for anyone.

Why absolutely! It's that old, worn out plantation philosophy that says, "Yes, we is free, but we ain't gonna go up Noth. We is gonna stay right here on the place, because Massa will take care of us like he always has." It is easily illustrated right here in my small town. Not a week goes by that an Alltel, AT&T, or Verison vehicle is not easily seen in a local parking lot with a long line stretching out from the free phone handouts. Perhaps you have been in a super market checkout line and had the person in front of you unloading a shopping cart overflowing with stuff you wouldn't or couldn't afford to buy, and paying for it with food stamps. These people may not have food for their children, but they all have a cell phone, and many are driving a BMW, a Lexus, a Mercedes, or something else I can't afford. I applaud Mr. Romney for having the guts to say this, and then not flinching or backing down later. What's true is true, no matter how you try to spin it. One thing these useful idiots haven't learned yet is you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. It is what it is.

The Bible says he who does not work shall not eat. If the government, who works for us, does not listen to us or do what we require of it. it is then our resonability to change that Government, either by voting or by revolution.

Carolyn continued: It is so very very true and we began to drift away shortly after he got elected. "We" meaning the practitioners who had 25 plus years under our belts: seasoned, sensible, very skilled: the mentors to the newbies. Now the newbies are foreign schooled. No American trained MD coming out with 200K in debt is going to be stupid enough to take a primary care position for 115K. That American is now going to take another 200K loan and do four years of a sub specialty and go where the money is: a cutter. Orthopedics; Neurosurgery; Pediatric Cardiovascular....in two years, all of the new residents in training will ALL be from foreign lands and barely speak our language. It's already happening. My last day in primary care happened to be on a July 1st which is the day new residents come on board. At one of the largest top ten hospitals in the nation; in the Midwest; our staff of residents were: four first year residents: one=Iran; one=Turkey; two=Korea. Four second year residents: three=Estonia, one=Iraq. Four third year residents: one=Greece; two=Iran; one=Iraq. Five senior residents: two=Turkey; one=Iran; one=Korea; one=Grenada. Foreign signage in the clinic outnumbered English. Our seniors were upset. Many who had fought in WWII and Korea understandably cannot and will not see an Asian provider. These foreign students are not made to understand our culture: the onus is on US to immerse them and teach them, yet they speak to each other in a language that neither the mentors or the patients can understand. A huge problem is many come from Socialist Medicine and do not understand that half of what they order for the patient will be denied now. It's a Hot Mess and it saddens me so deeply. However, I am still serving patients with my skills by perfecting design for hardware for spinal fusions and new prostheses for hip and knee replacements.

As a final comment for today after posting earlier, I feel it is about time that Romney offended a few in both the country and the administration. As a citizen of this great country, I am offended by everything and everyone in this adminstration and that includes Osama Obama and the wife. Not a day goes by that one or the other of these gadflies aren't on TV for something. It's Obama overload. I wonder if he offered Netanyahu a beer when he was here? I want Romny to go to that first debate and hammer Obama until he self destructs, and he will if he is pushed hard enough. Take in the laundry list of lies he has foisted on us in the past three years and make him squirm over all the unfulfilled promises he has made to us. Offend the hell out of him! No need to make anything up, because he has given Mr. Romney all the ammo he needs.

Hey what's up with the obama ads?????????? Clean up your act. TPPost ! !

Mitt's comment was absolutely correct! The liberal media is using the "regime's" interpretation. But anybody with half a brain knows what the truth is! I am so sick & tired of the MSM's idea of journalism I could scream! We all need to realize that Nov. 6th is the most important election of our lives! Obama's not incompetent....he's carrying out his plan for America. He does not want to create jobs, he does not want our country to be a super power, he does not want us to be energy independent, etc. He's a socialist. He believes big government is the answer to everything. He does not believe in the U.S. Constitution, despite the fact he took an oath of office to protect and defend it. He believes in wealth re-distribution. We've been letting this stuff happen....now we need to take action! The time is now!

Our beloved country is on the verge of economic, social & political collapse. This is our last chance to take our country back! We must do absolutely everything in our power to make sure Obama does not win re-election. Then we must insist on destroying Obamacare, cutting taxes, cutting government regulations. We must begin drilling for our own oil. Then we need to have a balanced budget, congressional term limits, lawmakers livng by the same laws as the rest of us. Keep our military strong, stand by our allies, etc. Obama needs to be tried for treason and put into prison, along with his comrades.

I cannot tell you, without using many expletives, how pissed I am at that Obammer flag. The audacity of that man to adulterate OUR flag that way. I would rather watch it burned by our enemies than see it used that way by him. You should make a 'bumper sticker' or something bigger that has that flag up side down .. the sign of distress .... enclosed within a red circle with a red slash across it. I will take ten................

As was stated, Romney went a little overboard when he said that all 47% of Americans that don't pay federal income taxes, are automatically going to vote for Obama. It's unfortunate because evident exaggeration like that tends to erode one's credibility.

However, Romney was absolutely correct about the principle, and about the process by which, over decades, congress has used its power to manipulate society via our tax code. America has always been about fairness. So it's sadly ironic that our tax code has been used to actually build in and codify economic unfairness. We lament the evident unfairness of society's classes while our government has willfully created two diametrically opposite classes: taxpayers and nontaxpayers. Like Michael Jackson saying "bad is good", meaning that reversals happen, in America with these two classes, the nontaxpayers have become society's entitled class while taxpayers have become tax slaves.

And by the way, here's one statistic that wasn't quoted above, which illustrates the decades-long advent of this obscene, disgracefully outrageous number of nontaxpayers: Back around 1969, the percentage of Americans not paying federal income tax was at 12%. Now, 43 years later, we're at 47%.

Romney is correct that this statistic is very troubling. It is the road to an entitlement society - the road to socialism.

That was no blunder. That was truth.

That was no blunder. That was truth.

So many for so long have been permanently attached to the government teat. The teat will suffer irreparable damage when the teat sucker is removed. Have you even tried to remove a brown tick that is fully embedded, it comes loose in pieces and most of the time the head is remains and get infected.

You know it's only natural to vote for the politicians who promise you more government assistance. This all started when non-land owners were given the right to vote. It was a requirement to have a vested interest in this country to be able to vote. What's wrong with requiring some sort of public or military service in return for public assistance? Socialism doesn't work. Like old Ben's opinion: There's not enough wealth among us to support all the needy, but inspiring them to succeed for them selves will enrich us all.

While there certainly are those who need the help of those of us who can reasonably afford to do so, redistribution is not the answer. As explained in the article history has shown the surest way to destroy a nation is to overburden the tax payer. All private citizens suffer when government drains them dry of their hard earned money. I am in favor of requiring able bodied recipients of financial aid to work at something which will benefit the community, county, or State in which they live.

I agree with what he said. Nobody should upset when his statement is truthful. What about the ones who don't pay taxes but get back a BIG income tax rebate!! Kills me...

Romney was right and the Obama supporting left-wing media focused on it while the Middle East erupts in Anti-U.S. riots and a U.S .ambassador was tortured and killed in the process. It's obvious that the D's are for those who would rather ride in the cart than those who pull it. If you feel vicitmized and entitled, D's are the party for you. Being a U.S. veteran myself, Vets are not in the same category as we earned it as all gave at least 3 years of honor, service and duty to protect and defend our nation. VOTE RIGHT, VOTE REPUBLICAN.

Just a thought....I personally think that if you receive handouts from Uncle Sugar, that you should NOT have the right to vote! Jefferson warned us of this voting for largess.

Why is it we can't speak the truth of what is really going on with America. It is a known fact to informed Americans. When shining the light of truth on their schemes, it is evident that the louder they protest,the more they implicate themselves. I'm speaking of the Democratic Party & the like.

IN MY OPINION THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE NOT PAYING TAXES AND WITH THAT SAID. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE RECEIVING WELFARE MONEY OR ON THE FED. DOLE WOULD LIKE TO PAY TAXES IF OBAMA PROVIDED A JOB FOR MANY OF THESE PEOPLE. OBAMA IS THE CAUSE OF MANY NOT PAYING TAXES, UNEMPLOYEMENT IS STILL VERY HIGH AND IF THIS ILLEGAL,MUSLIM,LIAR, GETS ANOTHER 4 YEARS IT WILL BE EVEN HIGHER. HE IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY FROM WITHIN, I TRULY HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHOUT A JOB REALIZE WHAT THIS ILLEGAL,MUSLIM,LIAR HAS DONE TO OUR ECONOMY.

PS SPREAD THE WEALTH,OBAMA SAYS. LOOK TOWARDS GREECE,ITALY, FRANCE, MOST OF THE SOCIALISTIC COUNTRYS SPREADING THE WEALTH HAS PUT THEM INTO MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE SUNAMI IS HEADING TOWARDS THE US. OBAMA SAYS WHEN HE CUTS THE MILITARY TO WEAKEN OUR DEFENSE, HE WILL USE THE MONEY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT. THIS ILLEGAL,MUSLIM LIAR, WILL PROBABLY GIVE MORE MONEY TO NONE DESERVERS AND OUR NATIONAL DEBT WILL RISE. THE ONLY PLAN HE HAS IS TO DESTROY AMERICA ALONG WITH HIS SOCIALISTIC PARTY. GOD HELP AMERICA.

Romney may be right but keep in mind that a lot of the people in that number are retired people. ( I and my wife are two) We will vote to save the country as we paid taxes when we worked. I belong to a book club consisting of retired people all of which are conservative and will vote for Romney.

Indeed Romney was right, I've been saying it for many years now and have been vilified for my conservative remarks in our local paper, (that was until that town made a hard left turn and I moved out), incidentally, they are now losing businesses and people, in fact, the only city to have an increase in population in Butte County was Chico, and that was due to annexation.

wHAT WOULD JESUS DO? ANSWER: NOT SPREAD SCANDAL AND UNTRUTHS ABOUT A PERSON

I believe that if people are not willing to work that they should not be allowed to vote.Welfare receipients are the very people who are ruining our country.

"When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can count on Paul's support. The Socialist have been plying that way forever and we refuse to refute it until it ends. "The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens." — Leo Tolstoy

It is amazing how the media aaccording to Brent Bozell has played the tape over and over to try and discredit Romney. Yet they only gave fleeting 30 second posts of the problem in Libya or for that matter the problem with the entire Middle East.

It appears to me that our stage in the cycle of liberty has passed the Apathy stage and after the 2012 elections in which the ONE becomes* POTUS again. We will be in the final stage - Bondage. *Progressives Over Throw United States

You quoted Shaw. I would not qoute him for if you read his life story you will find that he wanted to eliminate(murder) all people who could give nothing to society. For example;unemployed, poor, sick, elderly, and people born with diseases that would stress the government.

Obama's mentor George Soros has said on TV before the way to bend the world into everyone being equal is through breaking the US monetary system. Obama is well on his day to doing that through redistribution and welfare.

Vote out obongo and all his socialist/comunist cohorts. Hairy Reed, Nancy the Pelosi, the Clintons (both of them) every other POS damocrap in Washington. Then cut off all entitlements, welfare, food stamps, whatever after six months. They have that long to get a job and join the tax paying force. If after 6 months they refuse then let them eat whatever they can find in the garbage. I for one am tired of supporting their lazy, porch sitting asses.

I am not counting social security as an entitlement, most of us have paid into that for our entire lives and until the damocraps stole the money it was fiscally sound.

First, the Obamanation's flag advertisement is an insult to every American citizen. We honor OUR flag and I consider it to be a form of graffiti against Old Glory. We must, must get rid of this awful excuse for a "leader" that wants to destroy all that we stand for. VOTE!!!!!!!!

I am registered demacrat, but I agree completely with the 47%. Also there are those even on Fox News who cannot comprehend this and do not want to stand for the bare truth when it soubds harsh.

Whether it's outright socio-communism as we see in the Obama regime of 'Reformation' or the slightly slower death of cronyism (as opposed to righteous capitalism), are path is pretty much set. Sorry to be the bearer of doom, gloom and FACT! However, this is the choice we have now - strong socialist-communist push or a moderately weak neo-con. I'll still have to vote Mitt, while sharing with others, educating on First Principles and pushing for true, BOTTOM-UP grassroots campaigning, which is a bit late in the game.

I have posted a form of Tax Reform that also enables those with income under the Median Household Income to deposit up to their entire Taxable Income into a Tax Deferred Savings Account which they can then use during their lifetimes for Healthcare, Education and later, Retirement income. They would thus still not pay income tax - up front; the difference is that they would pay a Flat Tax on those Savings when they withdrew them, including on the Gains int those accounts. Sound better than what we do now? See: http://reformingtaxesentitlements.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/government-refo/

Obviously the Romney campaign needs to get in touch with the grassroots perspective in The Patriot Post if they are going to win this election. Mark Alexander prescribed exactly what Romney, et al., should be shouting from the mountaintops, in response to Romney's so-called "gaffe" about government dependence. Alexander wrote: Though Romney's assertion that most Obama supporters are government dependents has generated a flood of faux-outrage on the Left, their underlying indignation is more accurately rooted in the fact that Romney did not declare that ALL Americans are dependent on government. That is precisely what Obama himself recently proclaimed in his now-infamous assertion, "You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Somebody get this in front of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Allen West or Rand Paul!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please NEVER refer to military personnel as having given their lives when they are killed or maimed in armed conflict!! THEIR LIVES WERE TAKEN.

I am absolutely not an OPbama supporter, but the numbers Romney uses in his statement are grossly in error. I went to dinner with my landlord last night, who is a MSM/KoolAde-drinking democrat. He was tearing Romney a new one over his statement, and rightly so. In fact I just sent an email to him, as follows:

"I found a short video to back up what you were saying about Romney's 47% comment. The guy sure does make a lot of nonsensical statements. Watch to the end to see what he should (and could) have said, but now it is too late to take back his stupidity."

Reality Check: Is What Mitt Romney Said About the 47% True? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playerembedded&v=G5CLFbRNDU

Stop already with the elegant thinking! Time to enlighten the 47% of the facts. Their time on the Govs' teat is limited....Peter can be raped to pay Paul until Peter hides more income or moves overseas or to a caribbean island. How old will you be when the teat dries up!!!!!! Oh, never mind, the Chicoms or Iranians or whomever has the bazooms to come over us with a few "WMD" and they (47%] will be off to a reeducation camp !! And then they will be quoting Ben Franklin.............

The BHO plan is to keep all the sheeple down on the plantation and voting for goodies from the government. They will remain happy until the producers of society start not producing enough to provide the goodies. The sheeple will then riot (as in Greece) demanding their goodies and the country will collapse into Greece. Beware of the leader of these sheeple.

Mr. Romney hit it right on the head. There are a multitude of people who are on the "dole" and are content to stay there (beats working). He cannot change their minds about whether to work and compete for a place at the table of life or to vote for someone who will keep them in the poverty they enjoy and are comfortable with, he needs to sway the good people who are simply uninformed and undecided.

When those who VOTE for a living outnumber those of you who WORK for a living, your Republic is kaput, capice?

Americans use to work together to pull the cart down the road. Now we have way too many people wanting to get IN THE CART and have all the others pull it! Give a man a fish you have feed him for a meal. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a life time. People need to quit looking at government to give them all they THINK THEY DESERVE!!!
I will give the shirt off my back for those in need, but don't steal it.

Each year after filing your single or joint federal tax return,the IRS shall issue a credit card to the taxpayer that will allow one vote for each $1,000 in federal taxes paid, rounded down to the next lower $1,000 amount. People filing jointly can have two cards, each with 1/2 of the votes assigned to it. A photo ID must be presented when using the card. Leave the rules regarding state elections to the individual states, but federal elections must be voted upon by legal, federal taxpaying U.S. citizens.

James Carter IV---The nut does not fall far from the tree.

1) What Obama blames George Bush for he commits at a worse level - we were done with the recession instead now we are 110% debt to GDP at 90% to GDP all economists agree - crisis.

2) Any politician who tells the truth will be slaughtered and thrown to the wolves - Romney stated the truth but society does not want to hear it

3) You must balance the budget - Obama has not had a budget for three years and there is actually a debate about re-electing him? It is because our people operate the same way - you now are in a third generation of welfare, it is becoming a habit

4) When the people realize they can vote themselves benefits and a pay-raise democracy fails and a dictatorship moves into power. If Obama is re-elected there will not be an election in 2016 - marshall law will be implemented.

5) Republicans and Democrats have given the President power that is beyond responsibility: the armed forces can now be used against its own citizens, invasion into your home can happen without a warrant and peaceful demonstration "freedom of speech" has now become a government crime.

6) Any good business knows the answer: you balance the budget, cut 5% every year for the next five years including the salaries and benefits of Congress and you will be out of this mess

7) Side note on Medicare: You cannot pay 100% of medical care for people it is fiscally impossible - a patient must have to pay for something at some level in order to make sound decisions. Grandma falls and 27 tests must be ordered to cover the legal liability of all the doctors and the tax payers cover the bill - that is insanity.

8) People earning over $250,000 pay 63% of all the taxes but make-up only 5% of the population - the wealthy are not the problem. When the tide rises all boats will float but they CANNOT be equal in size - you create a billionaire and you have created a 1000 millionaires, which creates 10,000 - $250,000 earners which creates 100,000 upper mid-class - the only way to have a strong middle class is to increase the number of billionaires and millionaires created - they are not created by LUCK - it is HARD WORK. Now you know the problem - hard work!

Socialism; permanent government sponsored indentured servitude. Remember the quote when voting in November, "we all belong to the government."

Did you know about the change in the Social Security numbering assignment which is no longer by state. Did you know about the New Green Cards? I work for the county welfare dept and we were notified last year that the Social Security Admin would no longer be assigning numbers by state. This was so that a number could no longer be a way to identify where a person was born. About the same time we got flyers about how to identify the new "green cards". It has a hologram of Obama. I knew for sure then that he planned to stay in "office" as dictator rather than president. It was confirmation that "This" was going to be a permanent situation since most "green cards" are issued for at least 10 years. Also we have NEVER had anything resembling a president on any official ID documents. Only countries with dictators have the pictures of the Dictator on their ID cards.

If those American voters who follow Obama are too stupid to see thru the smoke, then they deserve another 4 years of damage to our country

They pay no taxes and still get money back, just for filling.

The flag you are claiming is at the Official Website store, is NOT at the Official Website store.

This is a perfect example of the lies you promote on this blog.

DUH!

Your article and Mitt Romney's comment that imply 47% do not pay taxes is a gross distortion of the facts that are easily researched. It reflects poorly on him as a potential leader of our country that he is either so sadly misinformed or thinks nothing of distorting the truth to his political benefit to gain donations. I believe that is called prostitution. Additionally, there seems to be no mention of the thousands of very well to do people and businesses that pay no taxes either. Can that be a mere oversight when the "47%" are viewed with denigration?

Here are two links to sites that explain who the "47%" really are: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/18/romneys-47-percent-us-election?newsfeed=true

http://factcheck.org/2012/09/dependency-and-romneys-47-percenters/

I believe this was done in Florida & as I understand it is against the law, in Florida, to record someone without their knowledge. I bet the the Obama Justice Dept does nothing.

I believe this is an appropriate pledge to Obama's ill-gotten flag:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of Barack Hussein Obama, and to the deception for which it stands, one collective under statism, class-divided, with empty promises of utopia for all.

I've been researching some political items and can't help but wonder why more isn't being said about Obama's EO 13603. Look up David Souter on EO 13603 for details and frightening information. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT.

I agree that handouts do not help the reciepients. We need to give a hand up not a hand out.

The 47% holds. However, it is flexable (fluid). Some of that 47% are folk who are there not of their choosing or short comings. You subtract the lowly paid people (military and retires), but readily add those who could do but don't. You still get that percentage, and it must be dealt with, if we are to mend our debt and our economy.

Wben my son was a teenage I sweated blood to buy him a pretty new car. He worked on it until it wouldn't run anymore then traded it for a motorcycle. A year or so after that HE BOUGHT FOR HIMSELF a really beat up old Chevrolet. Guess which one he liked he best. Yes, the one HE WORKED FOR.

I would like to see,anyone who doesn't pay taxes,never has shouldn't be able to Vote,(since they will vote for anyone who will give them a free ride!,anyone who hasn't paid into social security can't collect it! Also what are the real numbers of the unemployed (the ones who ran out of benefits,must be counted with those collecting them) for true numbers

"The good news is that if Obama's re-election serves as the tipping point for that plunge, there is always the option of restoring Liberty by bullets when ballots fail."

We have our very own Salvador Allende, do we have a Pinochet? I hope we do not have to find out.

Well, I have to say to say this: While Mitt is right about the majority of the 47%, the people on food stamps, welfare, etc.(I'm one of those who lives on Soc Sec Disability and a slight VA pension) the ones I call the "show me the money" people who pay no taxes, most WILL vote for the Obama-nation. But,I, on the other hand am a strict, staunch conservative. I will be one of the 47% who hates(!) socialism! Socialism is incompatible with the US Constitution. PERIOD!! I didn't vote for him the first time, and I'll vote against him this time, too. Thanks for the opportunity to speak out on the subject.

I agree with Romney, Dont know the numbers but those on the government dole will vote for the eh islamic take over crowd. Useful idiots to be sure. Along with that 47 percent why dont we just throw in a few more congressmen and senators that dont pay their taxes as well, can anyone say Geitner, how about Harry Reid, now's the time to post your 2011 taxes.

re the muslims crazy carrying on in the mideast, complete with destroying our embassys, and murdering our people, and our top gov't officials moaning about the "terrible video" that "caused all of that attrocious behavior, I was carried back to World War 2, when we were engaged in war with the japs and huns, and every studio was turning out movies,that depicted the japs and germans as the most uncivilized, bloodthirsty, and rotten people on earth! No thought of being afraid of making our enemys 'angry' or maybe even 'offending' them!!! We've changed!!

R/R need to tell it as it is: Sure the ultra-wealthy buy lots of STUFF, made, transported,bought and sold, middle-managed, and/or maintained by the "99%" who in turn pay taxes on their income , supplying extra $ Trillions to the tax base. "Give 'em a fish and feed 'em for a day; teach 'em to fish and feed 'em for a lifetime." The American Way is not a government job, it is the private sector that makes us strong. The wealthy pay a smaller % in tax due to a low capitol gains tax of 15% because most aren't hourly wage earners and need an incentive to invest in the USA. Raise it and we will see $Trillions more of US $ going abroad to markets with a better deal. Health Care: stop defensive medicine with tort reform including specific medical courts. Change the way we practice medicine. $$$$$Billions waisted on futile therapies and end of life care we know won't work, but have med/mal fears in changing. Develope federal catestrophic insurance pools to make sure no American goes bankrupt due to illness. Result: Medicare, Medicaid,SS,private health insurance saved. Foreign Policy: a strong leader backed by a strong adequately sized and funded military is our foremost insurance of the contination of our way of life. Energy: when will we learn that we can be energy independent and efficient in almost no time? It makes no sense to arm our enemies with oil money we could roll into our own economy AND TAX BASE. Economy 101 = Common Sense. We need to quickly resurrect Ben Franklin or elect a very successful BUSINESSMAN to lead us. Come on folks, this ain't rocket science.

What everyone seems to ignore is that Romney was talking to potential donors about his possibility of election and how he was going about it - what were the expectations and who was he targeting? He may have misspoke about the number who are dedicated Democrats and do not pay taxes on what they collect from government.

When I heard the comment, I did not think he was referring to those like myself on Social Security (which is really a 'refund' of contributions or compulsory taxes paid into the fund) or others who receive some form of government check in return for prior contributions. He was talking about those who live off the dole and depend upon it as a way of life.

That comment has played into Obama's hand, to be sure, but that is only because it was taken out of context and fitted to their purposes. If it says anything at all, it tells us that Romney is a straightforward man with those who support him and he understands how this game of politics shapes up. Romney is not without compassion or caring or understanding. During that illicit recording session, he was simply unguarded in his remarks with 'trusted' contributors and the violation of privacy was the real act of shame.

I have seen in my lifetime that the truth has become a victim of the PC agenda. I have seen the media become an untrustworthy bunch of liars by omission. Now, attack someone for repeating the numbers of Obama's own is somehow bad. I guess the truth is even worse than I thought.....

Clearly any politician who exposes the left's plantation policies must be driven from the field. The people must not be allowed to continue under the delusion that they are capable of governing themselves and their own affairs. The very idea is an offense to proper governance since world history tells us that commoners have been ruled by their divinely inspired betters for thousands of years. Who are we American commoners to pretend that any other system is superior?

I think it was Ben Franklin that said: When the people learn they can vote themselves largest from the government, freedom is lost. Have you seen the DVD. Obamasrealfather.com ?

I agree with the facts that Obama is trying to make this an Obama Nation rather than the United States of America, a free nation. I agree with that statement that 46% don't pay taxes because they think our country owes them a living. And so does Obama. I am going to vote for Romeney & Ryan because I agree with their ethical, moral, and good sense thinking. It is OK to go back, and check a nations values and economy, then go ahead with the entire picture from start to now. We need our value system that is declared in our Declaration of Independence. God Have Mercy on this Nation. Rosemarie Cupko

This will probably have unknown persons knocking on my door, but when I see the Obama campaign flag and America print, I see the red stripes as though they were smears of blood. :-( That's not to be taken as an ominous warning about Obama or his followers; that's from a visual or artistic point of view.

This repeated assertion that 47% of Americans pay no income tax may be technically correct but it doesn't mean they are not taxed. I get a full refund of the income taxes my employers are required to withhold from my pay but the Social Security, Medicaid, and so forth that my employer has to match is a tax on my labor just the same.

Mr. Romney, Stick by your guns. I am convinced the turn around you can provide is the Only way America will survive.
