Romney: 47% of Americans are losers, don't care about 'em

[Valmy]

Actual. I don't know who he is or where he stands normally.

He's a Righty.  Editor at the Weekly Standard, used to edit at the WSJ.  Probably considered a RINO by now, since he works for Atlantic Monthly and contributes to the NYT.

He is a righty though Yi informed me he was a centrist when I have brought him up before.  Which sorta scares me.

[MadImmortalMan]

His wiki page makes him sound very conservative.

The Limbaugh wing thinks he's a communist.

His comment that he knew Obama was going to be a great president when he saw the crease in his pants is both unforgettable and unforgivable.  In the context of the NYT he's a conservative; I'd put him slightly right of center.

Heh:

LOL, John Sununu just called David Brooks "left leaning".

LOL, John Sununu just called David Brooks "left leaning".

That's the kind of development I was expecting when I asked the question.

Heh.  Most conservatives now think that Hitler was a leftist.  Honest to God.

"[M]y job is is not to worry about those people.

Although there is a lot in the OP I find abhorrent, this particular comment should make this man unelectable.

[DGuller]

That's one of the problems.  There are so many good ones in that one short speech that it's hard to gain an appreciation for all of them, or even keep them separate. 

The biggest point that seems to often be missed is that Mitt didn't bash the moochers, but rather he concluded that the reason, and the only reason, for someone to vote for Obama is that they're a moocher.  Thus, the conversation is often centered around how many of those 47% are really moochers, as opposed to the fact that the narcissistic sociopath seems to be unable to contemplate being voted against for reasons that don't involve bribery by the government.

Heh:

I could start cutting pretty easily:

West Virginia
Kentucky
South Carolina
Mississippi
D.C.
New Jersey
Arkansas
Michigan
Indiana
Illinois
California
Alabama

That has to be relatively close, right?

If that doesn't do it:

Ohio
Delaware
Kansas
South Dakota
Idaho
Washington

[Razgovory]

California, Illinois and New Jersey pull their own weight.  They pay more in federal tax then they get.

That's an odd list. I'm guessing it you were trying to be funny, but I guess I'm not getting the joke.

[DGuller]

And then some, in the case of New Jersey.  New Jersey is historically the biggest donor state of all, paying almost $2 for every $1 it gets.

[FunkMonk]

I wonder how much of the country feels it is entitled to food.

[OttoVonBismarck]

The image I was responding to said "cut the 47% of the country that doesn't matter." Those states are roughly the states that I personally don't like.

I'm not particularly concerned about things like which give the most net to the Federal government, as I benefit very little from those sort of things.
