totally disconnected.
Do they even need to? It'll be on all the news outlets for at least 2 or 3 news cycles. Maybe the whole week.
I want to see how Joe Scumbag defends Romney tomorrow morning...
This is simply amazing. The level of disdain that fortunate people have for others is really worrying. How did this country get to such a place?
Thank the Republicans.
That is incredible. Game over.
I mean we all suspected it of course, but he's actually saying it...to a room full of other rich people. You can't just be the president of people with jobs and cash. It's those 47% that need you the most.
Has it ever been otherwise? From slavery onwards, a large part of the population has always been unwilling to help others.
Everyone's favourite reasonably sloshed Republican chairman is already on the case!
"I don't have the numbers in front of me"
Oh lord, CNN and MSNBC are gonna run with this for months
Is it possible for a presidential candidate to just, give up?

If I were a repub running for office I'd take this opportunity to completely disown Romney. The guy is in freefall and I'd not want any association with him at all.
The worst thing is that he's preaching to the choir with many Republicans. It's a decidedly un-Christian attitude for the "religious right" to take. Conveniently, Mitt isn't Christian, but the majority of the party believing something that is one of the things that Jesus preached against is depressing. What difference is there in them and the Pharisees in the New Testament?
They miss the entire point of the New Testament while using it as a means to demean and punish people rather than forgiving and helping them. Paul Ryan has been called out for claiming that his budget is "Christian" or "Catholic." The religious right somehow rationalizes the "I got mine, feck you" ideology of people like Romney as being a Christian belief, or at least ignore that because they think other sins are more important.
For the GOP, they can do anything they want as long as they oppose abortion and hate the gays. They'll still have their religious supporters. Did they even pay attention to anything Jesus said?

someone who goes to a foodbank to try and feed his or her child is lazy and feels entitled.

The guy is a church elder FFS. Even though it's a loony church, you'd think he'd have some empathy for the poor.
I want to see those who voted for Ryan's budget to try and disown the ticket.
Looks like I was right. You have to wonder if there's more to come from this fundraiser leak.
The poor can't afford magic underwear or spaceflights to Kolob. They don't deserve help.there just may even be an 'October surprise'
"A dependency society"
Unbelievable
Unbelievable
I have never seen as incredibly a stupid campaign as this one by the Republican ticket.
jaw dropping stupidity.
jaw dropping stupidity.
Really what he's saying is he doesn't give a feck about half the country.
Nice one Romney, game over.
Nice one Romney, game over.
You wouldn't want to bring the race card into it, of course, but... well, you would. By extension he's saying that it's not his job to worry about 95% of blacks, 66% of Hispanics, 78% of Jews and 63% of Asians, because they don't take responsibility for their lives.
He's also calling 80% of gay people are takers...

More important are the po' white trash of the South and in the depressed parts of Ohio and Penn. The Obama campaign should send out people and just get them to go door-to-door showing this video and explaining why Romney doesn't give a feck about those folks either. The republican base isn't all well-off white folks, it's also stupid, poor, white folks who want to blame stupid, poor, coloured folks for their own misfortune.
I hope this anti Romney tsunami translates to the senate and congressional races.
it would be funny to see how many republicans throw Romney under the bus.
popcorn sellers are going to be making a bunch of money.

What, you mean it's not just Obama voters who don't pay income tax?
Who knew? Apart from maybe the 53% of $200,000+ earners who voted for him...
Excellent takedown from Ezra Klein.
The key point:
WANKER
Of the rest, most are the elderly who've spent their lives paying tax, and students and temporarily unemployed people who soon will do.
Oh and also...

And as Matt Yglesias pointed out, most of these people vote Republican.
Oh the irony of Mitt Romney, a multi-millionaire who has paid 13.9% or less in taxes for the past x years, criticizing other people for not paying taxes.
14% of whatever he earned is still quite a bit though.
Plus the 10% he gives to eh church.
Do any here think this will help in Senate and Congressional races for Democrats?
Can't hurt!
I wonder what repubs in tight races will do...I'll bet some are thinking about disowning him.
there was talk democrats in congressional races were running ads against their opponents who voted for the Ryan Budget turning Medicare into a voucher program.
And, if I may, here are some of the people who could have been here instead of Romney.
Romney was the reasonable one
This must surely have been the weakest set of republican candidates in the history of American politics?
No, you left out Huntsman.
These were all 10x more likely to win the nomination than him. He was 10x more reasonable than them, but then that was the problem, wasn't it?

I hope they all run in 2016, i'm sure many of them will along with a few new cast members.
Oh my...
