You can't prove to me what Romney said is wrong, because it isn't.
Romney stated a fact, that close to 50% of the nation is not paying taxes, and is re4ceiving benefits from the government.
And Romney, unquestionably correctly, states that it is very difficult to get these people to vote for him, and he should focus his election strategy on those who pay taxes and/or own businesses.

You try to spin that as somehow untrue or wrong. But those are the pure and simple facts.


No spin is required on my part. You left out how Romney described almost half the country. In his own words...

 Quote:
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Romney is shown saying in the video of a May 17 fundraiser in Boca Raton, Fla. "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."

Romney said in the video that his role "is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."



Many of those he clearly thinks so little off are elderly retired people or military families. Many of those are also republican voters.

Fair play!
