Mitt Romney on Obama Voters

Editor's note: Mother Jones has now removed the blurring from this video. Click here for the updated clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU9V6e...

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don't assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them.

...only 3% of that goes to traditional welfare recipients (TANF). That's roughly $32 billion dollars a year. Every year, farming industries receive over $26 billion dollars in government aide. Oil, gas, and coal about $20 billion a year, Walmart Corp. alone receives just over $1 billion in gov. subsidies. Now, you want to talk about all of these "nobama" voters getting "free shit," take a look at all the corps., the conservative base, that get even more "free shit." Check your facts, Jack.

Military spending is tied with Social Security at $600 billion as the biggest expenditure. I don't see republicans jumping to cut even a dime of that, something that should be so easy to cut as it doesn't affect American citizens.

it's so funny because he talks about people voting one way or the other due to emotion.. then he scares the crap out of the people that he was talking about by saying this.

Except that is not the truth. The biggest group of welfare recipients are white and live in poor red states.

The irony is the Democrat politicians are pushing for the best interest of those who will never vote for them. On the other hand, they vote for Republicans who will take away their welfare that they don't know they are voting to abolish. This phenomenon is thanks to talking point politics and poor education.

Reality is stranger than fiction, especially in this silly country...
