Someone please link me up to the clip where Romney actually uses the words “lazy” “shiftless” “lay-abouts” “tax evaders” “moocher” or hopeless loser.
anyone?

Hard to find exact quotes on that. There are other ways of calling people those things without using those words.

He said “My job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” He also said that they don’t pay federal income taxes.
.
His actual words were plenty bad enough. I agree that Carlson — like Biden — should have let Romney’s actual insults of half of America stand for themselves.
.
Romney considers almost half of Americans to be completely useless. Why does he want to be president?

Considering the group he was talking too, they must believe they are the only ones “entitled” to rule this country. If they have their way soon they will have titles, the very thing Teddy Roosevelt wanted to prevent.

Isn’t it interesting that the Conservatives HATE it when people paraphrase whatever THEIR candidates say, but they have no problem paraphrasing the OTHER candidates?
Ah, politics as usual…

Obama is not working on trying to enable people for a vote towards him.
He is trying to help people suffering in this economy.

The map of states that receive less than a dollar of federal dollars back for every dollar spent (and vice-versa) is VERY illuminating. You should also add Oklahoma and several others. If we had a popular vote in the country, the Republicans would never win another national election, until and unless they cleaned up their extremist act and started to behave like adults again.

Hmmm, Megan, since Obama in office gas up 107%, stimulus after stimulus and unemployment STILL above 8%, average median household income drops by $4,000, an EXTRA 2 million to add up to 6 MILLION middle income families projected to be hit by fines by not having health insurance as dictated by OBAMAcare….and you have the NERVE to say he’s TRYING to HELP people suffering in this economy?
Excuse me……
BWAAAAA HA HA HA HA
You poor poor self-deluded gal, you….

1 – Yet when gas was in the upper $3 when Bush was in office you sure seemed to think it was the president. Forget much?
2 – When people STOP looking for work they aren’t COUNTED anymore, thus inflating the REAL numbers of jobs gained.
3 – Plug your ears…..after the QE3 that huge bubble is going to POP!!!!!!
4 – And when they STILL can’t pay for their bill I hope they send it to you then….then you’ll be crying…..

Funny how you don’t mention Obama’s SECOND CREDIT DOWNGRADE in your left fringer fantasy toons.

I did so what is your point exactly? That otherwise able bodied people who have no dependents and aren’t disabled don’t have to work to get their meager amount of SNAP funds ($31.00 per week per person) and this while we are in a Depression! How many would know of that connexion? How many who couldn’t find a job now get that extra money and are still alive? Shouldn’t they be grateful for that? Shouldn’t you for keeping them alive?
I admit I’m not a Liberal. More of a Progressive but not exactly. More of an Anarchist/Socialist/Capitalist (under control fo the people) kind of person.

The stimulus was way too small and didn’t go to the people who needed it—The People, not the criminals who gave us the present Depression starting in 2007, probably as early as 1990.
