Actually, the 77K business expense tax deduction Romney's accountants tried to take was disallowed by the IRS.

If all the 47%'ers have to start riding horses because we can't afford cars anymore, I wonder if that will be disallowed also.

Romney is a scam artist and a sociopath; he thinks being a 'businessman' is the same as taking over companies and skimming the money off the top, telling them how many people they have to fire now as a saving-measure, and walking away.

What do you think he'll do to the US government? Skim off a lot of money for himself and his pals (the same ones who gave him HALF A BILLION DOLLARS to win the presidency) and then he'll decamp overseas in some tropical paradise, away from the angry mobs and guillotines.

I just watched 'Bob Roberts' again - should be required viewing for all voters in the run up to any US election....Romney is just like the title character - only minus the charisma.

I know the economy is supposed to be what US voters care most about - but really it's quite good compared to when Obama took office and none of the problems can be attributed to his policies. Nada. Zilch. Even Romney knows this, hence the vagueness endemic to his gaffe strewn campaign.

I'm not blind to Obama's faults and failings. Far from it. But Romney would be a total nightmare in comparison. Politics is always a choice between bad and worse. This time it's bad or far far worse.

Depsite all Romney's buffoonary and outright lack of any credible plans for the future this election is still far more in the balance than it should be. Huge - and I mean huge - campaign funds have been amassed by the Romney campaign and are ready to swamp the airwaves in critical swing states with all kinds of lies and negative advertising.

Incredible! Mitt, they are all up the canal, unfortunately you want them to vote for you.

Whatever Mitt Romney has said gives an indication that he is very honest in expressing his views and does not live in an illusion.USA presently needs such practical persons. I think, if Romney becomes president, US will come out of the present economic mess.

Does Mutt Rowney include himself in this 47% after all he has pocketed some of the bail out money?

In the light of his remarks, I think that Romney needs to revise upwards his figure for the percentage of voters who will "never vote for him".

As one Tweeter put it,

"Mitt Romney's campaign is so dead the Mormons just baptized it."

It's really hard to see what Mitt the Twit is really trying to do here. It is just bone dumb Bush level stupidity? Does he not really want to be president and is just going through the charade for some unknown reason? Perhaps it's just that incredible arrogance of the wealth made man who thinks because he's been entitled to everything else he ever wanted - her can be president too because of who he knows and how much money he can bring to the table.

There was a study I read while I was writing my last non-fiction book, I don't have it in front of me to cite, but it said that the more social advantage a person has, the more likely he is to discount the contributions of others to his success and to view himself as self-made. In other words, if you are born into a wealthy and politically connected family, you take it for granted that this is the way things are, and you focus on what efforts you had to make without really taking into account that you are not starting at the same place as the guy who grows up in a poor neighborhood. When you think about it, if you've never actually had to struggle, you don't have any perspective on how much work it actually is to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps." If you've never had to go hungry, you can't fully understand how that might affect your ability to learn. If you have never had to worry about affording a suit for a job interview, you discount the idea that this would be a barrier. I happen to think that paying teachers and firefighters and police collectively for the benefit of everyone is the most practical way to do it. I also think laying them off is not job creation. Maybe that makes me a lazy victim. I need to read a bit more Ayn Rand.

This from someone who won't even tell us about his OWN tax returns???

If you drive on our roads, eat food, drink water, you are depending on the government. Without the infrastructure from the government, we would be like Ethopia, Bangladesh, other poor countries.

So, Mitt, I think you should simply diss 100 percent of Americans as whiners who depend on the government--and count yourself the biggest whiner of them all.
