"OF COURSE I CARE FOR THE POOR PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY!"

...he honestly sounded angry and defensive. I think he's falling apart before our eyes.

I love seeing him angry and defensive, it's that side of him that has been leaked in so many videos.

And a big chunk of percentages don't matter at all.

It actually does the opposite of what he and his campaign hopes, it serves as further proof of what many of the public already know and that is Romney is a liar who will say anything and stands for nothing.

“I’m not familiar with precisely what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was,” Romney said today. “I’ll go back and take a look at what was said there.”

Every time he says 100%, he is subconsciously reminding people of the 47% comment. So, this is an epic FAIL, but thanks, Willard. He has not read George Lakoff. By using your opponent's "frame" you have ceded the higher ground. Democrats should never use the word "tax" because that is the Repugs' frame. Instead use "investment in the future."

when he thought the cameras were off.

Does he really believe what he said at that meeting -- that 47% of Americans have a victim mentality, will never take responsibility for their lives, and want the government to give them everything? Or has he changed his views on that? I hope someone will ask him that question in the upcoming debates.

I'll wager there isn't one voter left out there who believes Bishop Willard is for all the people all the time. Just listen to his utter contempt for half of America during his "off the cuff" remarks when he thinks he is safely among his rich plutocratic cronies. He no more believes in 100% of Americans than he believes the moon is made out of blue cheese.

The problem for Bishop Willard is - no matter how loudly he says it - everyone stopped believing him weeks ago.
