But they should have included Romney's own voice saying,

"I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives"

That's probably the the most damaging thing in the video.

The first Obama ad on the "47%" was good. This second one is simply outstanding. [View all] WilliamPitt Sep 2012 OP

if you paid zero *federal income taxes* according to Romney magical thyme Sep 2012 #40

Well we get a refund every year because Heather MC Sep 2012 #41

is your refund greater than or equal to what you paid in federal income taxes? magical thyme Sep 2012 #46

When you add in the 16,000 we deduct from our mortgage we paid in more than we get back Heather MC Sep 2012 #50
