He knows what he said, we all heard it.

He is acting like a guy whose tax plan is not to the right of Geroge W's and a guy who has consistently worked to rig the system in favor of the super wealthy. Eat a dick, liar.

FTFReality, you whiny little toad.

it seems to me the solution here is to suck every last dollar out of the middle class from the likes of Bain capital and unfair class warfare tax policies that favor the rich to get them all in the poor so Mitt Romney doesn't have to care about them anymore.

I thought his faith kind of demands that he care a great deal about the poor. I'm no Mormonologist though.

Libs? They (will) learn it from watching you Republicans as Newt is using this sound byte to his advantage as well.

meat0918: Mr. Coffee Nerves: The bar's been set so low I'm actually a little impressed with him for being a weasel and not actively blaming the "lamestream LSM stream media streaming" for reporting what he said.

It's like when you go to a strip club at 10AM and the girl on stage only has a c-section scar, not knife or bullet wound scars. You can't help but applaud.

I'm surprised that Soledad O'Brien hasn't gotten people calling CNN to ask for her head for actually making him clarify his statement.

I would certainly like to ask for some head from Soledad O'Brien. Do you have CNN's number?

You mentioned race.
That makes you the real racist.

Didn't TDS show him saying that... calling him on it, and having him repeat it?

That isn't a mis-speak there Mittens. That's you pulling a George Costanza.

He cares so much about poor people. He wants to make sure everyone, even the children and the invalid have jobs. And he wants the companies they work for to be able to provide housing and food for them too. And he loves them so much, he wants to make sure that they can never leave those jobs for fear of falling back into their poor-person habits.

That's Romney's problem. If he "misspoke" once, that's understandable. But he keeps saying stupid shait like this, and it's become pretty clear he actually thinks this way.

Like all cowardly republicans (but I repeat myself) colon_pow has his head so far up the collective rectum of Fox News that is brain is slowly dying of oxygen loss.

I mean, republicans don't have that much to work with in the first place. Give the poor guy a break.

This. All morning I heard about the forcasts and how unemployment would not be going down. Then the real numbers came out which were double the expectations and unemployment dropped to 8.3%. If this holds up the only real argument they have, the economy, is going to drop from underneath of them. On technical merits they don't even have this as an argument because the Republicans have been actively attempting to prevent Obama from actually improving anything.

Vodka Zombie: I am pretty sure Mitt Romney is a very retarded man. No one can be that out of touch and, without the proper funding, survive in the real world.

He's not retarded.

He's never been middle class so he doesn't know what it means. He's never had college loans. He's never had to decide what subscription bills he needs to cancel so he can put food on his family table. He's never had to worry about house or car payments. He's never had to worry about retirement. He never has to worry about being unemployed because even if he is unemployed, he's sitting on millions of dollars just generating interest.

He's not retarded, he's ignorant.

NPR actually made a bunch of excuses for Mittens when he said this crazy shiat.

Exactly. Its not as if all of these little "incidents" are completely unrelated or on different topics. From firing people, to the 10k bet, to this latest one. They all have the same central theme and go a long way to show how Mittens actually thinks when hes not twisting in the wind.

If I call my wife a biatch, then say I was wrong and apologise, she'll still remember I called her a biatch.

"I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there," Romney said in the Wednesday interview. "If it needs repair, I'll fix it."

Wait, if he's not concerned about the very poor then why is he concerned about the middle class? Just let them become very poor and they'll be set.

It's not taken out of context.

I'm surprised any "conservative" would defend him, given that he seems to be advocating the existence of the social safety net. Presumably that includes things like welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc. So... congrats on your welfare-supporting Republican candidate, I guess.

Headline is funny but its obvious what Romney meant, that he felt that the safety.net for.the very poor was Ok but that the lower middle class needs more attention.

In other words, competing with.Demicrats for the entitlement vote

Romney "mispoke"?

More like "Mittspoke".

Magorn: hubiestubert: Schrodinger's Candidate exists in Quantum Political Superposition.

Your argument is invalid.

Mittens, you didn't mispeak. You weren't taken out of context. You spoke with your heart, and folks took you at your word. You are like Candide and believe that this is the best of all possible worlds. And to be fair, with the cash you've got lying around, it's not so bad for you...

And the worst part is when I repeated his Weeners to my (very liberal) wife she said "well he's right though, The folks at the bottom do have access to foostamps and Medicare and stuff, the people who really end up hurting are those just above them who make too much to qualify but can't afford to makes ends meet"

He DID have a point, even if he phrased it incredibly inartfully, and belongs to the party currently trying to shred that safety net.

More correct would be to say the party that isnt trying to expand social services to ppl who arent actually impoverished, by wayof converting th U.S. into a socialist state, littlw by little.

wait a minute....what if (What IF) we take all of America's poor and euthanize them - like we would, say, our old unwanted pets....but humanely? Maybe something like that would catch on....maybe England would see what we were doing and want us to do the same for them....to "liberate" them from their lowest of the lower class? Maybe we could take it on the road....what if kevorkian was right but just a little to narrow minded....why just the old and diseased....what about the old and in the way or the poor and pitiful? Take it on the road.....call it the Termination Equation....100 countries in a hundred days.
