Yes.
I think he should say what he feel without hypocrisy. Its better so the people know who are they dealing with. If Romney wanted to help those 47% he should advocate for higher wages, living wages/ higher minimum wage so they would not be on assistance.
That is what PBO is doing. He advocates for living wages, and equal pay for women. The GOP base cannot think those are bad points.
He keeps on blaming Obama for his policies but Obama has not sent 10million jobs overseas. That was Bush. We lost 43,000 industries and the unemployment is still trickling down. He is playing the blame game instead of telling the truth. Greed is why 46 million are on foods stamps. Corporation want more profits than to really think of the country first.
Continued in #3.
I voted no. My reason for voting no is this- Why apologize for something that you believe to be true? He believes 47% of Americans are lowlifes and leaches on society. He's 100% wrong, but it's what he believes and he should stand by it right on thru the day in November when he loses the election.
@ 1.3 David : You are correct, great way to put about Mitt R.
Hell NO!!!!! He told the truth....
Absolutely.He is too arrogant and cocky to do that, so he won't do that! That hateful Hannity and his bog brother Fat boy Limbo were having babies all after noon! Actually they agreed with Wilford's comments and supported Romoney (Mo Money)all the way! What a shame that they say like that. It reminded me of that rich lady named Leona Helmsley who said "Rich proplr don't pay taxes, poor people pay taxes" Her spelling may not be correct. I splled Wilford and crying Ryin's name on purpose.
willard is a man who never says, I'm sorry......besides this is the first time he has told the truth the way he sees it.
Give me a break!!!!!
Mitt For Brains will never apologize for liquidating the poor and our immigrant population because that is his platform.
Paul Krugman - our most knowledgable economist - stated republicans will not solve our economic problems and may make things worse.
Declining consumer demand is our problem and liquidating the poor will not help. The poor are out best consumers because all their income is spent on consumer goods (vehicles, fuel, rent, food, ...).
Taxing the rich does not harm the economy and has helped the economy in the past (click here).
At least 1.7 million immigrants left the US between 2006 and 2010. That reduced consumer demand.
Loss of millions of immigrant consumers reduced consumer demand by billions of dollars, starting with abandoned housing and vehicles that began in 2006.
Bush shifted the funding for post-911 enforcement to immigrants by raising documentation fees from about $100 to over $1,000 for immigrants that pick our fruits and vegetables.
Immigrants can earn as much as $200 per month at $0.10/pound, so the new $1,000 fee is unaffordable. That creates "illegal immigrants".
The Real ID Act of 2005 prohibits immigrants from obtaining drivers licenses if they are too poor to afford the new immigration fees.
The response by police has been to auction vehicles in order to profit from immigrants that cannot afford to pay for post-911 US border security.
A related outcome is that food prices began to rise as soon as immigrant labor shortages began impacting US farming.
thanks for clarifying, metoo. half of romney's supporters are victinms parasiting on the taxpayers.
you did say he told the truth. how do you know this particular statement is true among all the lies romney tells?
voted no
cause if he did I know i wouldn't believe him or his sincerity, so why be phony after being real.
this scum bag can not say anything to WE THE PEOPLE to make this go away.
YOU SIR ARE A HATEFUL, BIGOTED RACIST, WHO LIVES OFF GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS.
mittnochio could care less about the 47% who happen to be seniors, disabled, children, veterans. rummy has made it clear he "doesn't care" about the poor who have safety nets that he wants to take away. rummy has forgotten about the Great Commandment given by Jesus where he clearly stated "Love one another as I have loved you". rummy actually disclosed his real beliefs--just look at his body posture when he sat with a group of some of the 47% when he questioned where cookies come from (he looked like he was afraid to touch any food on the table).. rummy is nothing but a spoiled rich boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never been held accountable for anything. rummy is only interested in money and representing the rich. rummy is not interested in working for every American.
This is what happens with the gop when Obama makes a sincere apology .....
the gop nit pick every thing that Obama does to the rediculous, but they don't want us to believe what romney will say when he is with his own kind. for once we really know what he thinks about the rest of America. Here is an example of the rediculous nit picking of the gop.

At a meet-and-greet last week in Port St. Lucie, Fla, President Obama was
walking through the crowd of people shaking hands and offering smiles filled
with thanks. As he stepped backwards away from some supporters to move across
the room he accidentally stepped on the foot of a nearby reporter who was there
covering the event and taking photos.
The president quickly grabbed the shoulder of the reporter as he caught his
balance and offered a quick and impassioned apology.
The reporter shook the president’s hand and said, “no worries, it’s
crowded in here.”
This whole encounter seems innocent enough, however Republicans took no time
at all to paint the president as an apologist. Republican Vice Presidential
nominee Paul Ryan said:
What is the definition of a "living wage"? And really even Democrats aren't going to advocate for everyone to immediately be given a raise. It nullifies the effect by inflating prices, so really we end up at the same point. Democrats only want to give the poor enough to them for their votes, nothing more.
The real mitt has finally revealed his true self!!
Oh snap, the messiah may be guilty too!

@#1.19 Never could afford a 2 bedroom apartment on minimum wage.
Lets see what National Library of Medicine has to say about Romney, shall we?
Can you say bat$hit crazy?
I know you can.
Romney's insanity prevents him from recognizing facts even after they bite him on the a$$.
what makes me so damn mad about this ANTI CHRIST is he gets "ENTITLEMENTS", hides his money ion foreign countries, pays very little to no taxes then turns around and tells us that we want government handouts. WELL EXCUSE ME..............I PAID FOR THOSE " ENTITLEMENTS" DAMN IT AND MUTT YOU HAVE NOT AND DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HE MAKES ILL BEYOND COMPARE.
Yes... he should but of course he won't. According to his VP, that would be weak.

President Obama Steps on Reporter’s Foot and Apologizes, Republicans Outraged
September 15, 2012
By Sarah Wood
At a meet-and-greet last week in Port St. Lucie, Fla, President Obama was walking through the crowd of people shaking hands and offering smiles filled with thanks. As he stepped backwards away from some supporters to move across the room he accidentally stepped on the foot of a nearby reporter who was there covering the event and taking photos.
The president quickly grabbed the shoulder of the reporter as he caught his balance and offered a quick and impassioned apology.
“Whoa, hey there. I’m so sorry. You okay? Is your foot okay? I need to look where I’m going.”
The reporter shook the president’s hand and said, “no worries, it’s crowded in here.”
This whole encounter seems innocent enough, however Republicans took no time at all to paint the president as an apologist. Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan said:
“This guy just doesn’t know when to stop apologizing, does he? If he stepped on the guys foot then he should have asked the reporter to get out of his way, appreciate the fact that he was so close the President of the United States, and then move on. What he did just solidifies the fact that President Obama is weak and unfit to lead this nation. He needs to go in strong and not apologize for mistakes but instead make it look as though they are intentional and then double down on them. That’s what we do. He should have stomped on the reporter’s other foot and said, “next time, move out of the way” Now we look like we have a Sympathizer-in-Chief. Mitt Romney wouldn’t have apologized, instead he would’ve had the Secret Service tackle him and then force him to pay for any and all damages to his loafers. That’s the kind of leadership we need.”
So apparently Lyin Ryan views rudeness as “true leadership”.
Here's some good news! YEAH!
Analysts: Democrats May Hold Senate
Republican hopes of taking control of the Senate may be slipping away. Analysts are now projecting that the Democrats will hold on but with a reduced majority, the Atlantic Wire reports.
Both Nate Silver, author of the New York Times' FiveThirtyEight blog, and Electoral-Vote.com show the Democrats holding on with a one-vote margin.
"In one of the most closely watched and hardest fought races, Democrat Elizabeth Warren has opened up a lead on Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts. FiveThirtyEight gives her a 64 percent chance of winning at the moment," the Atlantic Wire writes.
"A Michigan Senate race that was thought to be competitive earlier this year is now looking like a blowout for Democrat Debbie Stabenow, and Missouri's Claire McCaskill is pulling away from everyone's favorite rape pregnancy expert Todd Akin."
There are currently 51 Senate Democrats who are joined by two independents, Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders. Lieberman is retiring and his seat may turn red, but independent Angus King is likely to take the Maine Senate seat from the GOP.
Now let's just hope we can get rid of all those idiot TEAbaggers and a lot of the Repugs in the House, so the Dems can also take back the House.
The thing is, I think Romney's actually an honest guy. That's why he keeps getting in trouble. He doesn't know enough to lie, like the rest of the Republicans.
He's a rich guy who has never known anyone that isn't rich. He grew up rich. He married rich. He went to school with the rich. He works with the rich. Middle class and poor people are somebody he's read about, but has no experience with. So he keeps talking like a fat cat, because that's all he knows. He never had to watch out for what he says.
He's almost an innocent. And he's going to keep doing it. He just doesn't know any better.
Obama/Biden 2012. It's inevitable.
If Mitt does not Fit, you must Omit....
Romney apologise would be earth shaking. Course it would be more of circus under the big top. I resent the man and his saying 47% don't pay taxes. My husband gave 24 yrs to military to this country while Romney got deferments. My husband up on retirement worked another job for several years from 1992 to year or so ago till he had two heart attacks and open heart surgery, He tried to work for awhile but had to retire all together. So were moochers to Romney silver spoon arrogant out of touch Romney! I would not vote for this man if he were last politician on earth. Taxes where the hell is his at ???
Its like the old adage, if you want to annoy a conservative, tell a lie and if you want to annoy a liberal, tell the truth. The current one is, Obama voters sign their checks on the back; Romney voters sign theirs on the front.
bill 3, that's a lie and you're a liar! does your lie make you liberal or conservative?
@Pat & Bill
Here's an article you might like... I think Sanitorium might be talking about you. He seems to know you so well.
http://www.freewoodpost.com/2012/09/16/santorum-republicans-not-after-smart-people-have-dumbass-idiot-racist-vote-locked-up/
Santorum: Republicans 'not after smart people,' have dumbass, idiot, racist vote locked up
Addressing the Values Voters Summit, former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Republicans will never have "smart people on our side." While most objective observers will wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Santorum, he wasn't finished describing today's conservative demographic.
"The smart people aren't with us, but we need to remember who is," Santorum added. "We have almost all of the idiots, 93 percent of the racists, 91 percent of the homophobes, and pardon my language, but nearly all of the dumb asses out there. What we need to do is to acknowledge where our strengths are and exploit them."
The revelations appear to be somewhat shocking, as much for their candor as their veracity. Santorum acknowledged what critics of the modern conservative movement have been saying for quite some time. His clarity and forthright speech might be seen by some as a mistake, until you take into account the target audience.
The Values Voters Summit has been a haven for the uneducated and the educated but misinformed since its inception. More than a few attendees have reported being disappointed in the values presented, apparently hoping for a great price on a microwave. Santorum publicly admitted that the candidates are trying to lower the bar for the lowest common denominator when it comes to the American electorate on the conservative side of the spectrum. He explained that encouraging idiocy is the best hope the Republican Party has for the future.
"We cannot win on our policy, we cannot win on our initiatives or the values we hold so dear. What we must do is continue dumbing down the average voter so that a majority of them will vote in ways that are absolutely against their interests. We love idiots, and we pray for more dumb asses. We all know how to blow our racist dog whistles," Santorum lectured.
Polling by Fox News points to early data indicating the disclosure has helped conservatives.
"I like that they'um ain't to highfalutin to speak to us all on 'er own level," said Bubba-Dean Marteen, a self-described conservative from Tulsa. He isn't the only voter reveling in the sheer bliss of utter ignorance and thanks to decades of attacks on education by Republicans, the ranks are indeed growing.
"If we can keep making stupid not only acceptable but favorable, we can't be stopped," Santorum said in closing. If one doubts if the strategy is sound, just look at the polls. If a pair like Romney and Ryan can garner enough support to have them in the running, the idiocracy is upon us.
Go to sbpdl.com for a breath of fresh air.
@Bill,
People like you are the reason Republicans are going to loose (thank you thank you thank you).
Here are 10 of the poorest states, which are dominated by the 47%.
That is Romney's voting base AND proof that Obama supporters sign checks on the front and Romney supporters sign checks on the back.
Here is what CNN has to say:
And what do those states have in common? Take a look at the demographics.
In short, he insulted his own base! I love it.
Bill 3, get it? Do you get it? The demographics have it! YOU take a look!
I saw that map. Wow, Mitt is crazy AND stupid!
I am chilling the champagne now!
And while you are at it you might point out the states that are going bankrupt. I think you will find they are all dems.
I think you had better take a look little billy. I think you've spread enough hate and BS for one day.
Relax
RE: @afrommi, (Comment #1.1)
At the very least. I've also got an idea for a conditional corporate tax break inspired by what Henry Ford said in conjunction with the more equitable distinction between management and labor in Japan, where the income ratio between corporate executives and labor was in the neighborhood of 10 to 1 rather than the inequitably high ratio in the US, where it's more often in the neighborhood of a million to one.
Use of a formula like that for determining the tax rate would encourage management to pay their employees closer to their actual market value. Additionally, that would encourage more business owners to reinvest in their businesses for purposes of R&D or for new depreciable assets or other outlays aimed towards creation of new capital and fair enterprise, not merely free enterprise, where one side usually loses because greed eventually corrupts the transactional relationships in favor of corporate executives, away from both labor and those who purchase that which labor produces. Even with automation reducing the extent of how valuable human labor is, the value of R&D, of being on the cutting edge of industry, is that automation cannot replace human labor until the iterative process of working the bugs out is finished.
The 21st century update to the produce/consume society that was so successful in the aftermath of WWII should be that as new products are purchased to replace existing product, if the replaced product is not going to be reused (e.g., used cars, appliances, etc.), then as much of the replaced product as possible should be recycled, with the intent of minimizing what ends up in a landfill. Much of that will require human labor.
Large scale infrastructure maintenance is also necessary, from evolution to a smart grid, expanding the availability of broadband Internet access, to roads, bridges, dams, and schools. All of that will require considerable human labor, very little of which can be outsourced.
Our current President, Barack Obama, is the man with the vision and the understanding to know that the well-being of the Middle Class is intrinsic to an infusion of Capital back into the Market. On the other hand, Romney believes the impossible: that recovery is possible without any increase in revenue, much less capital.
i wish people would stop demanding/asking for an apology from mitt, because we know that if we have to ask for an apology, it might serve a purpose to SOMEONE, somewhere, but it doesn't mean anything.
mitt should just continue to say what he believes.
i do have to say: WAY TO GO JAMES CARTER!
The Carter's are still serving the people. The Bush's only serve themselves.
you are correct, Chris.
we are all imperfect, but i believe that Jimmy Carter is an honorable man.
it pisses me off whenever repubs and fox news say horrible things about President Carter. they mention him frequently, and always say that he is the worst President. oreilly has complained that President Carter won't come on his show, or do an interview on fux news.
why would President Carter put himself in the position of being demonized by fux news IN PERSON, when it is no secret how they feel about him. in fact, fux news would love to rip President Carter apart in front of EVERYBODY.
repubs and fux news should be more concerned about the truth of their dead leader, the gipper.
okeefe and breitbart could take a lesson from James Carter on how to release a video that will help to destroy an opponent.
KEEP IT HONEST.
As far as I remember, Carter's problem was that he wasn't strong enough to deal with the Congress. His ideas were good. He just couldn't get the self-interested Congress to go along with him.
And then, of course, there was the hostage problem, and the debacle of the rescue.
@suzette
I agree, and what I have always found interesting is Democratic Presidents do after they leave office as opposed to the Repug Presidents. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton both have continued their public service... President Carter actually pitching in to build homes for people in need. President Clinton has created his Global Initiative which is doing a lot of good for the disadvantaged all over the world.
Compared to the Repug Presidents and what they've done post White House. Ronnie Raygun was of course loosing him mind by then, so could only go home and loose it completely. But both Bushes Sr & Jr have gone home to live a leisurely life and write books full of lie for their posterity. They give an occasional speech to gatherings and rake in a huge sum for those, but otherwise they have no thought of any continuing public service.
We don't know what President Obama will be doing in the future, AFTER HIS 2ND TERM IS OVER, but we can be sure it will have something to do with public service and I would guess probably involving Constitutional rights. After all, before running for office as Senator, then President... Obama was first a Community organizer, helping the poor communities in South Chicago build opportunities for those people. Then after graduating from law school, instead of taking an Internship at the Supreme court or going to work for a million $ salary, instead he worked in a legal rights law firm for considerably less than he could have been making.
For the most part, Repugs get into office for their own aggrandizement and profit... without thought of what good they can do for the public good. They are only concerned about fulfilling campaign promises of favors to their big donars. Then they retire to live their rich lives of luxury.
But Democrats go into office with the idea of making things better for the average person and what they can accomplish to help the country progress toward equality and fairness. When they leave office, they continue those goals on with those goals in any way they can.
Totally true and factually correct.
The realchris, You know, I am proud to say that I still get a Christmas card from Jimmy and Roslyn Carter every year!
He was a very smart and good president, but he was a devout Christian who refused to play Washington's dirty little games. That made him look weak.
Carter is probably the most honest president we've ever had.
Eugene P Kaczka banned, re-reg of multiple accounter XEPDTX.
@Chris,
in regard to President Carter-
what i UNDERSTAND to be true about the hostages and the failed rescue attempt is that Carter's negotiations were made to fail DELIBERATELY because reagan had made a deal to exchange the hostages for weapons.
i realize my statement above is simplistic, and that there may have been other conditions (disagreements) between President Carter and Khomeini through-out Carters presidency, and that, for obvious reasons, Khomeini wanted what reagan was offering.
you're right, the rescue was a debacle, unfortunately for everyone involved.
god bless Jimmy Carter.
@DScully,
i agree.
simply put-
as a general rule, repubs live their lives after their presidency's in the same way they govern, ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR THEMSELVES.
democratic president's do the same thing-they live their lives as they govern, continuing to do as much they can to help others.
Yes. But Mitt Romney is not a person who likes the word Apologize. He comments President Obama for Apology to other countries. Mitt Romney doesn't have the qualities to be a leader , leader of the world.
I said no. Mainly because it is the first sincere thing he ever said and secondly, psychopaths have no sense of remorse, so he'll never apologize. He does not see things the way most people do. He has no empathy. He has no sense of compassion. He will probably double down on what he said. I personally hope he insults more people.
I don't care what he says as long as it does not gain him the presidency. My advice is, "Just be yourself, Mitt'.
So far, so good.
@ 3.1 India : You are right, and many of us totally agree with you.
You are right, I have forgotten my studies on political ponerology. Thanks for mentioning it.
You have to be humble to be able to apologize!
Ditto.
Thanks guys,
http://indialecarre.newsvine.com/_news/2012/08/30/13574213-still-voting-for-mitt-romney-youtube
Well said, Mac. "You have to be humble to be able to apologize..."
Mitt Romney needs to release 10 years of tax returns!!!
But he won't. He's too scared to be honest with the American people about his taxes and financial worth.
BECAUSE HE HADN'T PAID TAXES FOR TEN YEARS!!!
He's such a hypocrite, besides being arrogant and wrong about we the people and wrong with his facts... but then he's not going to let fact-checkers influence his and Lyin' Ryan's campaign.
Ditto, again!!
Woolard could have but he didn't! Enough said..
so was Harry Reid telling the truth about Mutt's taxes after all? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I think so.
Harry is just waiting until a little closer to the election, then bang the last nail in his coffin!
Harry has the good on him, and willard brough his own nails. ROTFFL.
xx~~Hopefully, next month Oct 15th! Same day Romneys' tax return is due??
Woopee, can't wait!!
Oh BOY I can't wait! But I'm sure he amended them and who knows what that will show....If anything other than he had them amended..
Romney shouldnt have to apologize because he stated it the way things are, there is no denying it. There's alot of people who's unemployment ran out, ended up on disability or state supplement and food stamps to support their family. Why work? Why work if your collecting unemployment for that matter. Ther eis not much for jobs out there, the newspapers have a quarter page for jobs instead of three pages which was the norm here. I dont have to look any further then the food pantry in this town which now serves about six towns and the shelfs are almost bare. Things may look rosey for Politicians when they are up for election, but i see it how it is. People are not happy with the way things are, yet they do what they have to to survive, not much choice.
Of course he shouldn't, like any one's going to think it's sincere.
Or at this point he's damned if he does, he will just offend his base.
Either way Obama 2012
VIEWER - Sure he would STAB US IN THE BACK anyways.But if he really wants enough votes to win this election,I say he should ( of course he wouldn't mean it anyways but it's a try on his part ).
For Woolard this is a no win scenario. Just keep digging the hole deeper. I have no doubt he won't stop until he reaches China! Oops he's already there!
Not just YES but HELL F***ING YES he better apologize to the 47% or he will NEVER have a "snowballs chance in hell" of winning.In the process,maybe he should change his attitude about things or he will NEVER make it any further than he already has.
Ted, But that's what we hope for, isn't it? We don't want him to win!
Insult us all some more, I say!
INDIA - Like I told VIEWER ( #4,1 ),he would stab us in the back anyways.But then if he really wants enough votes to win this election,it would probably help him out some IF he did but I don't think he will anyway you look at it.
Exactly India, come on Mitt bring it on!!!!
You all have to remember. The silent majority sat on their duffs in 2010. If they do the same in 2012, we will have Romney/Ryan, a Republican House and Senate. 2000-2006 all over again.
No Ted! I agree wholeheartedly with India! Let Mitt keep speaking the truth. He will do more than any superpac for Obama could ever do. Keep talking Mitt! Because the more he does the more voters will know that like Obama or not, this arrogant, pompous @ss is clearly not presidential material!
all i can say is that anybody voting for this anti christ is way more stupid than i thought.
Chuck, the I don't think that the silent majority will be sitting on their duff's this time. This scum bag has been insulting us long enough and people are tired of it.
I don't think the trouble is Romney's fault, I think the real trouble is with the die-hard republican voters. For some unknown reason, they believe every single thing republicans and Fox news say. They will not even believe proof that what they just heard was a lie. Rule number one says, never argue with an idiot because strangers can't tell the difference. Die-hard republican voters are idiots, lets just hope there is not enough of them to give the White House back to republicans.
topane..you believe everything MSNBC says ..neither is in the right..ratings which one has and the other doesnt..does not make right for the way people suffer.
romney wont apoligize, that would be admitting he said something wrong, he looks down on anybody thats not a millionare, he's a discrace to america
@ #6 George: I agree.
George Mutt's a disgrace to the HUMAN RACE.
Billie,
True. I personally want a president who belongs to the human race.
Obama 2012
@George
Flip Robme does not like us because we don't have car elevators in our garages...
But notice how he talked about this 47% with resentment and claimed we needed 'training' what a contemptible condescending idiot. This is the same person who wants us to believe that Obama has started 'class warfare'.
The first hen to kackle laid the egg.
I have a lift in mine, does that count? Still don't like willard stick in the mud.
Yes, but not likely.
I am one of those 47%. I didn't make it up to the poverty line for income last year and won't again this year. I don't qualify for food stamps or Medicaid. I do get some energy assistance. The amount was cut in half for everyone a couple of years ago too.
Romney has sent people's jobs overseas or shut down their work place. Will he apologise for that? Not likely.
Apology NOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly, Boo Coo. He won't anyway.
Just let him be himself. It is the road to victory for the Democrats.
He doesn't apologise, he makes excuses.
No...this is who he is and we need to know that.
He should but he won't because he is too proud and full of himself.
I don't think Williard believes in apologizing about anything.
The ONLY WAY that MITT KNOWS ~ HOW TO SAY SORRY , Is WITH MONEY !!! Thats WHY , I said earlier that MITT SHOULD PAY EACH OF US99% 47%rs - $1000 !!!!!!
Yes!!...he should apoligize to all the people...he'll lose anyway...hes' on his way out....

"give them cake"
Remember what Barbra Bush said about the survivors of Katrina living at the Saint's stadium. Something like,"Oh their living better now compared to what they have known." that's not verbatim but, its close.
"to decrease the surplus population." You are so right, Scrooge thought the world would be better off without these poor. What good are they?
ned,1904, #12.2 "What good are the poor?"
Jesus seemed to favour them, didn't he.
I would trust His judgement over Mitt Romney's.
woolard, believes in the Mormon Jesus, not the Resurrected Jesus.
No..because it will be a lie..like everything else that comes out of his mouth..besides the parasites as he calls them..will still vote for him anyways..which blows my mind by the way..he is a rich jerk..and he proves it more and more everyday..i don't support him..and i pay taxes and i am not on welfare..so as far as i'm concerned..he can kiss my ass!!!!
Agreed. He is a joke....and not a funny one.
he is SCUM!! HIS WIFE TOO.
Let's not forget his remark about if his parents had been Mexican he would get the Latino vote because he would bea BROWN PERSON.
oh my god when will this end.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Billie, #132.2 "oh my god when will this end."
November 6, 2012.
I've already picked out the French wines and champagne for the party.
I think it actually ended yesterday for Mitt, but I suspect there are more goodies to come. The fun may just be getting started! I trust that Mitt will have more to offer us in the days to come.
I agree India.......Willard shouldn't apologize.......nobody would or should believe him. The dope would flub it up anyway.
Let's just wait and watch for the next.......it's sure to come. <s>
The debates, the debates.......I want to see the debates!!!!
Kathe, Have you heard the terrorist advice he gave to Iran on that tape? OMG
The goodies are going to keep coming.
There's much more on that video. Much more!
All of it unbelievable. This man wants to be PRESIDENT? OMG This man is bat crap crazy!
He may not make it to the debates! LOL
We can't let our guard down. There is an awful lot of idiots out there, who will vote for him only because he has the (R) by his name. Romney is the mouth piece for the republican party. He speaks what they ALL think!
Even if Romney did apologize I wouldn't accept it because he's only sorry his disregard for 1/2 the citizens was caught.
For those of you who get thier news from programs like Jay Leno, Jay says Obama is encouraging more Americans to give up looking for work, to bring the unemployment rate down. Romney would never, never say that.
turnout THAT IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE.
you are just being hateful and bigoted to even say that.
AS FOR MR. ANTI CHRIST HE HAS SAID THIS AND MORE. PLEASE GO BACK TO FAKE NEWS THEIR LOOKING FOR THEIR IDIOT.
And you say turnout is hateful...tsk, tsk....liberals are sad and mad
little billy boy. We are niether. You're a liar.
There is no need for Mitt to say anything else! Everything that comes out of his mouth is insulting to most thoughtful people(well over 47%) and any phony apology would just turn into another insult. Romney go to one of your many homes and stay there.
I hope he doesn't apologize, and I hope he makes even more outrageous statements, so the people that would STILL vote for him have no choice but to see him for what he really is. Which is an ego-driven sociopath who worships nothing but the Almighty Dollar.
MJB - It's people like him that DON'T belong in politics because they are so STUCK UP with themselves.
they are beyondstuck up.
BILLIE - Now I am being polite on that one,I could say more but it would have been DELETED / EDITED from my comment.
He is too arrogant to apologize for anything. I wouldn't accept it anyway.
Ed;
Mitt Romney is not running for the good for the people.. He is in it to keep his and his rich friends taxes low...Republicans just don't get it!! Go figure!
I voted yes. But I don't think the man has a clue how to apologize.
Romney needs to be institutionalized.
CRACKHEAD - Preferably in a FEDERAL PRISON.
I believe that is where they put most people for pension fund fund fraud.
Not sure why Romney hasn't been charged yet.
Ohhhhh.
Now I remember.
His best friend is in charge of the organizations that investigates pension fund fraud.
Crackhead:: The cur dog named Mutt wouldn't settle for an institution. He would want a castle. Well, send him to an ACORN CASTLE.
Crackhead awards #20.3,
I'm feeling optimistic that something is going to break for Mr. Romney, tax evader, pension fraud felon. Liar.
I trust that Reid knows more than he has said and is just waiting.........
things come apart....the center does not hold....... WB Yeats had it right.
Crackhead,
Wait till you hear what he tells Iran to do to America!
The man is dangerous.
SUSIE - As long as we put him in the DUNGEON of the castle for over 50 years.
Mittwitt is not the brightest lightbulb in the clown shack.
Everyone knows republicans destroyed the economy and Romney is actually using the Bush policies that created the problem as part of his platform so he can take advantage of stupid people to try to win the election.
Paul Krugman stated republicans will not solve our economic problems and may make things worse.
Declining consumer demand is our problem and liquidating the poor will not help. The poor are out best consumers because all their income is spent on consumer goods (vehicles, fuel, rent, food, ...).
Taxing the rich does not harm the economy and has helped the economy in the past (click here).
At least 1.7 million immigrants left the US between 2006 and 2010. That reduced consumer demand.
Loss of millions of immigrant consumers reduced consumer demand by billions of dollars, starting with abandoned housing and vehicles that began in 2006.
Bush shifted the funding for post-911 enforcement to immigrants by raising documentation fees from about $100 to over $1,000 for immigrants that pick our fruits and vegetables.
Immigrants can earn as much as $200 per month at $0.10/pound, so the new $1,000 fee is unaffordable. That creates "illegal immigrants".
The Real ID Act of 2005 prohibits immigrants from obtaining drivers licenses if they are too poor to afford the new immigration fees.
The response by police has been to auction vehicles in order to profit from immigrants that cannot afford to pay for post-911 US border security.
A related outcome is that food prices began to rise as soon as immigrant labor shortages began impacting US farming.
They will cut their own throats and ours at the same time. These rich corporates could do everyone a favor by giving workers a raise. Simple but it would work. Trickle down hasn't done one bit of good after 30 years of their failed policies you would think even they would get it.
