Man, watching the cooper report on it makes it so much worse.
Its not just the 47%
Its not just romney saying he doesnt give a shit about them.
Its " they think theyre entitled to food"
Let theme at cake.

I'm reminded of someone a month ago who said that Mitt's behavior in public was not robotic, it was barely controlled rage and anger, and was the source of his frequently flippant mannerisms when being challenged in any way.
Yeah he looked a mess, the hair, tie and everyone.
This trainwreck is beautiful to watch.
No doubt. He must've been yelling up a storm at his staff.

i need to see the full presser. someone link it off youtube when it's up!
I am.
It still amazes me how he is so good at talking but not saying anything. It seems like that was the only thing he learned during the time he has been running for office. This reminds me of how Sarah Palin only learned the word "narrative" in the last 4 years.
Wait, so these words actually came out of his mouth?
ffs
edit: "dependent on government" and "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing,"
holy shit mitt, could you be more of a scumbag?

Yeah, the food thing is the one that takes the cake.
Which is ironic, because for the first time his staff had little to do with this flub, he's the one who decided to say all this sickening BS in the first place because he felt the "dirty poors" were never going to hear it.
I was laughing so hard when he wa walking off. He just looked like he was thinking to himself "keep smiling. Keep smiling. It'll be ok. I'll be ok. Just keep smiling..."

"There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it."

Last time Mitt was this bamboozled was when he gave a presser when the reports got out that he was still employed by Bain in 2002.
I'm pretty sure that was a direct quote, along with housing and healthcare. I'm a little shocked he didn't go full retard and say education as well. He didn't did he?

You know what would be awesome? For the press/media to refer to him as "Embattled presidential candidate Mitt Romney...."

I think food is more unconscionable than education, frankly.
Honestly I don't even know anymore, oh god his comments are on AC360 now.
It really sinks in during the video, that Romney is just disgusted at the notion. He's dropping "food" on a list of things that he feels people should be outraged about. People feel entitled to not starve to death! The nerve of some people!
Oh man guys, I'm gonna feel real bad if Romney commits suicide.

Obama should just run seconds 14-17 in ads all day.
Its an amazing soundbite.

Is there a "gaffe" that Romney WON'T double down on?
He continued, "These idiots even think they're entitled to oxygen and not being punched in the face every day. Fucking poor-ass dweebs."

has calmed down a bit.
Foxnews.com is pretending like nothing happened tonight. They don't even want to acknowledge that mitt threw together a press conference.
There's so many "worst" parts. That's why this is so bad. It isn't just one thing he said. That's why this story will have legs for a while.
plus: ""My job is not to worry about those people"
Worse. Mondale's two biggest problems were Ronald Reagan and Geraldine Ferraro. Romney's two biggest problems are Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Seriously, I have lived around politics my entire life(my father was a politician). I have met many politicians in my time and discussed various topics in regards to elections, and social issues. Never in my 34 years of life have I ever seen such a trainwreck of a campaign.
I have never seen a politician fall so fast and so hard, as Mitt Romney has fallen. They will write books about this election cycle.
