    Jan Williams, 47 Percenter, Says Romney's Comments Have Turned Her Into A Democrat


    Whittier, Calif., resident Jan Williams, 55, has been a registered Republican voter since she was 18 and always considered herself moderate. She voted for President Barack Obama in 2008 because Sarah Palin gave her pause about John McCain's candidacy.

    But after hearing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney dismiss the votes of 47 percent of Americans who don't pay a federal income tax, Williams told The Huffington Post that her transformation into a Democrat is "complete."

    During a private $50,000 per plate fundraising dinner in May, Romney said that 47 percent of Americans will "will vote for the president no matter what" because they "believe that they are victims" and "government has a responsibility to care for them." Someone secretly recorded the remarks and they became public this week.

    "It was very, very hurtful and stupid thing to say," said Williams. "You're trying to become the president of everyone, not just your little set of cronies."

    I wonder if Mitt knows how many people he's never seen or never will see feel like he's pissed on them for other reason than their Tax status?

    And I wonder how many people became republicans because of Obama's "you didn't build that" remark. Probably quite a few.

    Cigar,

    Race relations in America between blacks and whites are going to deteriorate no matter who wins the elections. Your people can only move up the economic food chain if my people move down the economic food chain. It's a zero sum game between blacks and whites because the economic pie isn't growing sufficiently.

    This lady voted for Obama in 2008 so what exactly has changed? Nothing. This is a non-story.

    LOL, another Huff and Puff article trying to set the narrative. Cigar, you have to quit falling for this stuff, you are smarter than that.

    The Republicans have been trying to show Moderates to the door, it might be turning into a stampede.

    Every time a "lifelong" Republican says they are going to vote for Obama is a blatant lie. Pure nonsense.
