Romney tells millionaires what he really thinks of Obama voters

[Denny Crane]

Mitt is advocating the same trickle down economic policies as W and has many of same neocons as advisors now beating the war drums for Iran. I'm pretty sure that a lot of voters equate the two because they've obviously a whole lot in common... hopefully that helps

I saw this exact same text on the Democratic Party Talking Points WWW site.

Just wow.

The more govt. spends on the war on poverty, the more people get hooked. Or so it seems.

I'm not averse to helping people who really need it, but I think it's beyond "way out of hand." If the programs were targeted to the truly needy, we wouldn't be in such a financial mess. Why? A lot of people would be paying taxes instead of having incentive to not. And I know a handful of people on unemployment who pass on decent jobs (required to look) because they're satisfied to make it on what the govt. gives them.

I agree the trend [edit] is very troubling, if that's all you were saying then your point no longer eludes me, much to the relief of blazerboy30 I'm sure.

 

[MickZagger]

"Only Democrats"? I have family that are apart of the "1%" financially and everyone of them are Democrats.

This whole generalizing his non-voters is an epic fail by Mittens.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are nodding their heads.

How do you break the trend?

The truth is non-partisan.

well I'm sure you won't believe me, but I've no idea what site you're talking about and wrote this off the cuff. It's hardly breaking news that MR has surrounded himself with the same folks that advised Bush though... try a google search with Romney Bush Neocons and you'll catch up. Heres the first article from that same google search

Since you're inferring I copied and pasted this verbatim from some site... link?

You supply your own links, which copy from the Democratic Party Talking Points site verbatim.

Pretty hard for a President to negotiate with a party who's leaders literally vowed to fight & obstruct him on everything he might propose even before he took office. Putting party over country, thats exactly what they've done. You have heard of Robert Draper's book haven't you?

Of course, it couldn't be that they disagreed with his policy prescriptions, could it? Or do they just hate him, because, you know...he's half black? Yeah, it has to be that racism thing.

You get why the super rich can afford to be Democrats, right? Because if you make seven to nine figures a year, it doesn't matter how much you're taxed. If you're only making $200-500K a year, the tax rate can impact your lifestyle significantly.

I'm sure they're Democrats just because they can afford to be...

 

[MARIS61]

Obama is an asshole too.

If you don't know that by now, you haven't been paying enough attention.

Charisma does not equal not being an asshole.

For example, the majority of big stars (movies, music, sports, etc.) are total fucking assholes.

Obama has charisma and star power. Obama has a "story" about who and what he is. Like many other stars it is not truth.

Being an asshole does not disqualify one from being president, most of them were. Otherwise the only president we could have would be Jimmy Carter, and despite not being an asshole, he was the biggest failure of my lifetime.

Man, you've got some serious low self-esteem issues.

Maybe you need to watch some of Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmation clips on youtube.

 

[maxiep]

It's well established that the very poor and the very rich tend to be Democrats, while the middle class and somewhat well-off tend to vote Republican.

If you're making $200-500K a year, and the tax rate can impact your lifestyle significantly, you are one very sick and twisted individual.

And not very good at financial planning.

Yes. Just like McCain was Bush V2. Let's keep beating that dishonest drum.

True middle class, which is between $30,000 and $100,000 vote Democrat. Not the made up middle class that the Republican's want you to believe. I'm sorry, but if you're making $200,000 you are not middle class.

 

[blazerboy30]

Yes. What's your point?

I thought it was just poor government leachers unwilling to do anything for themselves that were democrats.

No. I just see them in the media almost everywhere.

Try living in the New York metro area on $200K. Even Chuck Shumer thinks you're middle class.

 

[MickZagger]

Try living in the New York metro area on $200K. Even Chuck Shumer thinks you're middle class.

What % of the US middle-class population lives in NYC? I'm sure thousands live reasonably comfortably off a lot less than $200k in the NY Metro.

If you think the bread and butter of the middle class lives in NYC, I don't know what to tell you.

ahh yes the "200k is poor in 0.0000001% of the world" argument

Boston, NY, Chicago, SF, LA, etc. The point is that cost of living is an important component, not just the gross income.
