Romney Goes Negative – On the Voters
September 19, 2012 - by
Mitt Romney is going to make me a sorry seer. I blog that he’s bound to come back, then he says the dumbest, most damaging and most unintentionally revealing thing I’ve heard in politics in ages.
Romney’s “47 percent” remarks hurt him on so many levels.
One, he’s wrong. I’m voting for Obama. I know a lot of people who are voting for Obama. I don’t get a government check. Neither do they. But he assumes we’re all a bunch of mooches.
Two, it sounds like he wants to raise taxes on 47 percent of Americans. Which is exactly what the Obama campaign is nailing him on.
Third, it sets in concrete the image of a rich, elitist, callous candidate who divides America into people like him and people like the rest of us. And he shows total contempt for the rest of us.
