In reply to the discussion: Romney Claims He Lost Because of Obama "Gifts" [View all]kennetha

He's basically repeating his slur of Obama voters as the 47%. He's basically saying Obama voters are takers not makers, people looking for hand-outs. What an out of touch jerk. So glad he was defeated. Can't think of a less worthy candidate. And I love the invincible blindness of him and his cronies not seeing it coming. Makes his defeat all the sweeter.
