Romney Campaign Responds To Hidden Video: ‘Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans’

Mitt Romney's campaign responded to the hidden camera footage of Romney at fundraiser claimg that Obama's voters are "are dependent upon government" and "believe that they are victims" posted online in a statement Monday evening.

"Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans struggling in the Obama economy. As the governor has made clear all year, he is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government, including the record number of people who are on food stamps, nearly one in six Americans in poverty, and the 23 million Americans who are struggling to find work," Romney spokesperson Gail Gitcho said in a statement. "Mitt Romney's plan creates 12 million new jobs in four years, grows the economy and moves Americans off of government dependency and into jobs."

1. La la la la la

they don't hear us

[Glitterati]

3. They will

at the ballot box.

[banned from Kos]

4. Maybe the 30 million retired people who pay no income taxes

don't want jobs.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

16. It's 47% of wage earners

which of course, wouldn't include retirees.

[yardwork]

31. Willard didn't say 47% of wage earners. He said "47% of America."

[SickOfTheOnePct]

41. Yes, and he's an idiot

It's 47% of tax filers, not 47% of Americans.

[yardwork]

43. He's an idiot, all right.

[Lochloosa]

35. Actually, that figure does include retirees.

[julian09]

38. Retirees can work full time or part time and collect SS

[flyguyjake]

5. Mitt's gotta be the worst Repube candidate ever! LMAO

[sarcasmo]

24. I think the worst candidate of all time.

[aletier_v]

6. We already know that Romney's true skill is not in CREATING jobs but DESTROYING them

[SickOfTheOnePct]

7. I must have missed something when I read about the video

What was the racist part? All I heard was the 47% not paying income tax and the entitlement mentality part. Did he bring race into it as well?

[ProSense]

9. Here:

8. It was offensive, but it was not racist. why the fuck bring that into it when it's not true?

[ProSense]

11. WTF?

Seriously, WTF is with the constant self-righteous bullshit?

He brought race into it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021363029

Get the facts before you speak. Or qualify your comment as your opinion.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

14. A couple of things

1) Self righteous? Pot, meet kettle. And no, just because both are black doesn't mean it's a racial comment
2) He made a stupid joke about it would help if he were Mexican...stupid, not racist.

[ProSense]

18. Racist!

1) Self righteous? Pot, meet kettle. And no, just because both are black doesn't mean it's a racial comment
2) He made a stupid joke about it would help if he were Mexican...stupid, not racist.

You may want to continue kidding yourself that everything Mitt says is an accident, but it's not.

His comments overseas, his disdain for the poor, his self-deportation comment, his birther joke, his welfare lie, all point to someone who has issues with race.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

22. I don't believe anything he says is accidental

And please clarify the title of your response, as it appears that you are calling me a racist.

[ProSense]

28. First of all,

"And please clarify the title of your response, as it appears that you are calling me a racist."

...you know damn well the term is intended for Mitt. Secondly, your initial comment and snide remark in this subthread was to a comment that was not directed to you.

Nitpick elsewhere.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

40. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked

And unless there is a DU rule that states we can only respond to posts directed at us, I, like you, will continue to reply to posts I disagree with. This is a discussion board, after all.

[Arugula Latte]

46. Implying people of Mexican ancestry are handed everything isn't racist?

Really?

It's racist AND also fucking stupid, you know, considering the last time we elected someone of Latino descent to the presidency was, oh, uhh ... never. And this jackass is trying to imply he would have had a leg up if he'd had Mexican parents? What racist crock!

[ProSense]

26. Defending?

This is a discussion board, and if someone makes a comment I disagree with, then I will respond.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. Bullshit. You didn't read his comments about Hispanics?

He suggested that he would have a better shot at winning the election if he were Hispanic. Typical right wing talking point where they think minorities have it so good and the downtrodden white man has it so bad

[central scrutinizer]

32. I think his point is that Latinos would vote for a Latino regardless of their position on the issues

and that is insulting. I can see where he would feel this way because he is counting on white people voting for him because he is white.

[progressivebydesign]

37. Totally agree with you.

there seem to be some people on DU who repeatedly take an 'odd' view of things, repeatedly. I just ignore them.

[yardwork]

33. You must has missed the part where he talked about African Americans and Hispanics. Here:

"We are having a much harder time with Hispanic voters, and if the Hispanic voting bloc becomes as committed to the Democrats as the African-American voting block has in the past, why, we're in trouble as a party and, I think, as a nation," Romney said.

[kestrel91316]

36. Why have you taken to defending Rmoney and RW talking points?

It seems like you do so at every turn now.

Is it just me? Or do you perhaps need to come clean about something?

[progressivebydesign]

39. +1,000000000 nt

[southernyankeebelle]

10. What a prick. Where are people suppose to go to find a job if they aren't out there. Where

are the jobs the speaker of the house said he was going to people? Where are people suppose to get food for their families if there are know jobs? Republicans are freaking heartless. This video proves it.

[Spazito]

12. This response verifies without a doubt the video is real....

they just authenticated it!

Holy shit!

[nc4bo]

13. Mitt must have forgotten about the great TeaBagger wave of 2010. They, too, promised jobs and

all we got was a bunch of crotch docs.

That dog don't bite no mo.

[Cass]

15. What plan?

He hasn't given any details about this magic plan that will cure all ills the last I heard.

[Jazzgirl]

25. Mitt doesn't do plans or specifics.

He doesn't say anything meaningful.

[jsr]

17. He meant 'Mitt Romney wants to help all RICH Americans’

[The Second Stone]

20. Romney will create 12 million new jobs if elected

In China.

[HooptieWagon]

30. CBO predicts economic recovery alone will create 12M jobs, if nothing is done.

So Mitt is promising to do nothing about job creation.

[Johonny]

42. We heard that from Reagan and W

we are still waiting for them to create jobs.

[maxsolomon]

23. Arithmetic:

23 million "struggling to find work"
-12 million jobs he'll create in 4 years
= 11 million that should starve in the streets

it's just math!

[malaise]

27. This is huge

Tweety just played it. I'm lovin'; it.

He's a racist scumbag.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

29. A class warfare anthem

[kestrel91316]

34. Lame excuse FAIL. He made it clear he doesn't give a damn about the Little People.
