[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly are folks arguing about?

Romney made the statements and his "stast" were accurate.

The problem isnt the stat he laid out or how he's choosing to "ignore" a demographic. Its the fact that he spoke so negatively about them.

For example, Romney could have said that he's not going to win the black vote because they historically go to Dems and he's leaving that alone and stop there. No problem. hes being accurate in that assessment. Nothing to see here.

Now if Romney adds, that blacks will go for Obama/dems because the party promises them a bunch of things that the GOP wont, because they dont think for themselves etc etc, then its bad.

So again, while the 47% statement is accurate, what was said after that is where the fuck up happened. Folks want to dance around that in attempts to defend romney and while they are crying about putting the statements in context, they are the ones slicing and dicing the statement to fit their own narrative[/quote]

Actually it's not accurate.  When he talks about 47% of Americans he is referring to those who do not pay income tax.  He says that those same people all vote for Obama.  Which is NOT accurate.  Democrats and Republicans share the moocher class.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/09/18/mitt-romney-will-probably-get-95-electoral-votes-from-moocher-states-obama-will-probably-get-5/

Just as each party has loyal voters in the other economic classes as well.  As Santorum said, you will never have the smart/elite on your side:  http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/17/freedom-from-facts/#postComment

im not foolish enough to really believe that 47% of people in the group will only vote for obama. all i was talking about was the accuracy of the statement that 47% do not pay income taxes. thats all that is correct. everything else romney said is garbage which is the problem here. [/quote]
