    Is that more of the Romney-Ryan "fuzzy" arithmetic?

    He's been trying for six years. Do you really think he'd be able to pull it off in four more?

    As the saying goes: When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on Paul’s support.

    I'm not the one smoking.

    Of the 49% Americans receiving some form of Govt assistance, the elderly are the biggest beneficiaries.

    Romney's 'dependent' voters: Seniors on benefits

    http://money.cnn.com/2012/09/18/news/economy/romney-seniors-benefits/index.html?iid=RNM

    About a third are SS or medicare beneficiares.

    So let's raid the nursing homes and throw those irresponsible moochers in the streets!

    The next largest group of Romney's coalition of the irresponsible moochers are folks who get medicaid benefits.

    I don't know about you, but it burns me up when I think about a sick poor child getting medical attention.

    I mean, if you can't afford the $10,000 hospital bill, just let the kid die in the waiting room, right?

    God(*)(*)(*)(*) irresponsible moochers. Why do we have to pay our hard earned tax dollars so sick poor kids can live, right? Are you with me?

    I know you are. Romney 2012. Get the irresponsible moochers out of the nursing homes and hospitals.

    This from the guy who predicted Obama would be polling in the 30% range. In 2010.

    Given your predictive skills, I actually feel pretty good about Obama's chances.

    NO, Iriemon... you've got it completely wrong, and frankly this is the kind of distortion "drama" that hyperlibs typically resort to when they're trying to defend either socialism, a Welfare State, or both. Honestly, I'm surprised to see a person with your mental abilities doing this, too. But, I've been in a bad mood all day, so I know how it can go. I've always thought of you as a "common-sense", fair-minded Democrat, and not one of these giddy, goofy ******** hyperlibs whose legs "tingle" when they think about their King Hussein....

    Not even the hardest-hearted arch-Conservative (like moi, for example) wants to kick anyone off public assistance who is unable to work because they are physically and/or mentally unable to support themselves. I have said that consistently through four years of posting in this Forum, and I genuinely believe that is how all of us, Left and Right, feel about it. What I object to, strenuously, are these parasitic maggots who, as you said yourself, "sit on their ass" and whine and cry about how they should get welfare of every kind imaginable. At least, I HOPE that's what you meant. Surely, Iriemon, you don't advocate anyone who is mentally and physically able to support himself just sitting around on their dead asses, drawing rent subsidies, food stamp credit cards, subsidized utilities, and every other kind of government handout there is!

    I know we disagree on Bernanke and the Federal Reserve system, and we disagree that jacking taxes up on small businesses that file as individuals is going to create any jobs at all (you know, that Libocrat "tax the rich" thing). We have agreed that the tax code needs to be overhauled completely so that everyone above the poverty level must pay something, and I hope that, at the end of the day, we agree on able-bodied parasites of sound mind who suck off the government. When you see a tick in a dog's ear, you pull the son of a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) OUT, and that's what needs to happen to worthless, able-bodied welfare leeches....

    Wrong answer.

    Seniors are not receiving "assistance."

    They are receiving benefits that they earned and paid for.

    Deadbeat Obama voters on welfare are getting "assistance" and that is who I think Romney was talking about.

    Yeah, Right.....

    Romney isnt talking about the medically disabled or those on social security.

    Youre making crap up.

    Its not Romneys fault, democrats chose to abort all those necessary to support their entitlements.

    The time for crying has past.

    Now is the time to get a job and pay your fair share.

    That was a primary and it only hurt him in Pennsylvania. This one's for the whole country. Now if Romney can somehow "retroactively" make his video say that he only means the 47% from the blue states he'd be golden. I hear he's pretty good at that retroactive stuff so he might have a shot.

    Then how do you account for the illegal aliens who the libs tell us are just doing the jobs that Americans refuse to do?

    Again, Obama voters don't need jobs.

    They just need Obama.

    What are you talking about?

    These old welfare sucking moocher parasites make up the biggest part of the group Romney called self proclaimed victims who expect the government to take care of them. Like he said, they need to take some personal responsibility!

    Romney's 'dependent' voters: Seniors on benefits

    http://money.cnn.com/2012/09/18/news/economy/romney-seniors-benefits/index.html?iid=RNM

    And the next biggest section of Romney's group of 47% irresponsible moocher parasites are kids getting medicaid.

    You know, if the little bastards can't afford the $10,000 hospital bill, they deserve to die!

    It's about time people started being responsible. And that means, if you can't afford to see a doctor because your mom's job doesn't have health care, sell just suck it up and die like a responsible American.

    God(*)(*)(*)(*) irresponsible moochers.

    If your so sure Iriemon's making it up then Google what the 47% is and find out for yourself.

    He's not? No, I'm not making crap up at all.

    The seniors on SS/medicare and kids on medicaid make up most of the 47% percent of the irresponsible moochers getting government assistance.

    Actually, MANY people planned CURRECTLY for retirement, but were screwed out of their pensions by greedy CEO's, or their 401k's were wiped out by Bush's mis management of the country.

    God(*)(*)(*)(*) irresponsible jerk off moochers.

    It's too bad telling the truth is considered a "gaffe" nowadays. The fact is, Romney is only pointing out that the Democrat strategy of increasing government dependence to get votes is working.

    The only way Romney can win this is if the people who still work and produce wealth unite against the takers and vote Obama and the Democrats.

    And if Romney wins, there will have to be drastic cuts in social programs to get people off the government tit.

    Of course not. Everyone realizes that there are people who abuse the system.

    But I would bet its far far FAR less than you think, and that the MAJORITY of people on assisstence, actually DO need it.

    But I know you either wont, or cant believe that.

    The problem is, facts will get in the way of their fantasy belief that the 47% who get assistance are all lazy irresponsible moochers.

    You know. Like the 9 million lazy irresponsible moocher Americans who all decided at about the same time to live off those cushy unemployment benefits and caused the recession.

    Conservative economics works. If you ignore reality.

    Good point.

    We need to clear out all those irresponsible welfare moochers living in nursing homes and throw them in the streets where they belong.

    I would bet that its far more than you think.

    Most people getting food stamps would not starve to death without it.

    But they might not be able to pay a cell phone bill or get their nails done as often either.
