Sununu : Obama and Democrats won because of 47% dependent on the government.

I suppose if they keep repeating it to themselves, it will become their reality. However, we must ask the question: Do not any Republicans get Medicare, or Social Security, or food stamps?? With the breakdown of recent elections, it is fair to assume that the number of Republicans receiving government benefits is about equal to the number of Democrats receiving government benefits? But then, we are to assume that Republican benefits have no bearing on their votes? It makes no sense to me.

...you know ... some loser by the name of Romney. The one who may actually have some responsibility in his electoral demise.

Oh, and John Sununu is STILL a jackass.

And enjoy more future losing as your ideological blinders keep you wandering incoherently in the political desert.
