It funny how a person who wants to be President thinks American citizens don't have a right to food. I guess that 47% should just eat cake.

Did anyone see Romney's press conference? He took three questions and then bailed. Maybe it's just me, but the guy looks like he aged 5 years just this afternoon. His body language made him look completely shellshocked. He normally has been able to pull off a bit of alpha maleness, but that is complete gone.

Investment bankers are dependent on the federal government, too, Mr. Romney.

It went to Halliburton, sorry

I think it's pretty clear this is a catastrophy for Romney.

A big chunk of that 46% are seniors. So, republicans want to increase taxes on seniors ...nice. What about the millionaires who don't pay income tax?

It's about time someone brought it up. It's only sad that he didn't say it for everyone to hear. The media will hound on him for this instead of correctly taking the current president to task for letting the Libyan situation take a backseat to his shameless Vegas trip, campaign begging, and so on.

First of all, "Mittens" is clearly a joke.

Second, the 47% figure is not even close to being right. True, 46.4% of Americans pay no federal income tax, but nearly 2/3 of the group that doesn't pay federal income tax pays federal payroll taxes. If Romney meant to reference those approximately 18% of Americans who pay no federal taxes at all, the majority are the elderly. Is Romney really writing off older voters?

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxtopics/federal-taxes-households.cfm has more details.

furthermore, payroll taxes are 15.3%- which means 2/3 of that group are still paying a larger percentage in taxes than Mitt Romney does at 13.9%. what a tool.

Actually, his name is Willard, which I'd think you'd know as an "informed" voter.

Uninformed? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

It's time WE brought something up:

In the last election, your party got 37% of the people making 15-30K. And it got 43% of the people making 30-50K. And it got 49% of the people making 50-75K, which is more than Obama in that bracket.

So when you are disparaging these people in the lower half of our country (shocker which party REALLY goes for the class warfare), you are disparaging a fairly large amount of your own people.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I want my president worrying about everyone in the country, whether or not they voted for him.

There are a number of additional quotes that could be controversial. It would take pages to list them all. For instance, Mittens thinks he would have a better chance of getting elected if his father had been Mexican. He also claims that he didn't inherit anything, while admitting that he was born with a silver spoon. He also brags that his campaign consultants worked in Armenia, Africa, and Israel. Apparently, more of the tape will be coming, so there may be other gems.

I am curious to know what specific actions you would you would like Obama to take regarding Libya right now. You are obviously "informed" so I am eager to learn from you. Thank you in advance for your advice to our President. Now, please give us. the uninformed your Libya plan of action.

Not to mention the SLC Olympics sucked up more tax dollars than all the other US Olympics combined.
