From the New York Daily News:
Mitt Romney can’t lay off the “47%.”
The losing GOP presidential candidate unloaded a cartful of sour grapes on his top donors Wednesday, saying President Obama won because he handed out “big gifts” to blacks, Hispanics and young voters.
Romney’s statement echoed the “47%” gaffe he made at a fundraiser that alienated voters he said were “dependent upon government.”
This time, in a conference call with major donors Wednesday, Romney said Obama voters were in it for the goodies, the Los Angeles Times Reported.
“The president’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift — so he made a big effort on small things,” Romney said. “Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.”
He included Obamacare, contraception and college loan forgiveness among the gifts.
David Axelrod, Obama’s chief campaign advisor, tweeted, “Still looking at America through that 47% prism, Mitt tells donors the takers did him in.”

I don't think this is sour grapes on Romney's part. I think he's right. We have no money. The piggy bank is empty and Obama promised free stuff and he got elected. I am ashamed of the American's who voted for Obama and I am worried about this country. Look at Europe, we are going down that same path.
ReplyDeleteGOP lost because they ran the wrong man for the job..period.
ReplyDeleteNow Romney continues to show his lack of integrity by his ill based excuses.
1st I doubt that a Morman is electable based on the religions extremisms. Further Romney alienated women voters. Time and again Romney proved to be misleading regarding his business dealings and was accurately painted as a corporate raider who destroyed middle class employment.
Mitt Romney is a phony, arrogant, dishonest, manipulative, pompous, elitist human being who lacks genuine compassion.
Which past presidents have hidden money overseas to avoid paying taxes?
We avoided electing a man who lies at every opportunity to attempt gain and the country recognized it.
Mitt Romney was not my first choice, but I came to like him a lot. I really dislike hatred based on religion. I am not a Mormon, I am a Catholic, but living in Las Vegas, I know many Mormons and they are fine people.
ReplyDeleteI fear for this country with another 4 years of Obama.
