Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – The 47% Solution edition
tommyfd
Good morning, gentle people – I was going to do a “putrid potporri” edition, but as the wheels comtinue to come off the crazy train (how’s that for mixing your metaphors?), some current events have the Freeperati more stirred up than a bad martini.
Into your suits, everyone Southern Beale, please check the containment seals, because I’m about to open up a drum of I feel so inar-inar-inar-inar-inar-inar–tic-u-late!

Asked what he thought of Romney’s remarks, Ryan told the Nevada
station: “He was obviously inarticulate in making this point.” Ryan went
on to say the point the Republicans are making is that, under the Obama
economy, government dependency is up and economic stagnation is up.
Asked
if he thought Romney regrets the remarks, Ryan says he thinks Romney
would have said it differently, adding, “that’s for sure.”

Yes, boys and girls – the Freeperati think that Mitten’s blurting out of the wingnut “victims” screed was a good speech. They’ve become pretty much untethered from reality at this point.
Their grip was always tenuous, but now not only do they discount everything outside The Bubble, but have forgotten that anything outside The Bubble exists. Their world is complete.

Paul Ryan said WHAT??

What is WRONG with so many Conservatives when it comes to just OPENLY
EMBRACING and DEFENDING Limited Government and a free market for free
people?
They need to just DO it, and stop being such pusillanimous WIMPS!

I am a moocher. I don’t pay income tax.
Because my social
security benefits are not taxable and the earned interest income off my
savings are below taxable levels, I don’t pay taxes.
There are a
lot of retired people who don’t pay income tax or pay a relatively
small amount of income tax on interest income who will be in a world of
hurt when Romney and the GOP start taxing SS benefits.

The election-winning topic of Marxist Redistribution of Wealth has
been delivered to you on a Silver Platter by David Corn of the Liberal
Agenda Media, and you Ryan, choose to stab Romney in the back?
The Liberal Agenda Media spent all day yesterday telling their
Liberal audiences that 47 % of Voters pay NO Personal Federal Income
taxes. What a great promotion they performed for us Conservatives, and you stab Romney in the back?
Get on board the Smack-Down Express, Ryan, or shut your mouth!

Political reporters on Twitter are saying they are standing by for a Romney media availability on the video released today by Mother Jones
of Romney at a May fundraiser speaking frankly of his thoughts on
Obama’s base voters and their entitlement mentality, aka the 47% who pay
no federal income taxes.
The media and GOP-E have jumped ugly on Romney tonight.
Steve Holland, Reuters:
Romney at press avail to respond to video says his comments weren’t
“elegantly stated,” and “could have said it in a more effective way.”

No matter what you feel about his comments on that video this
situation is NOT good. Remove your bias and understand the MSM is out
for the kill. There is too much fodder for the media such that they can
eliminate his chances in a very close race. Swing states like FL will
easily fall out of reach because of this video. It only takes a few
percentage points to move away from him.
This is a winner for Romney. Even retired seniors, who he needs,
collecting social security were for the most part lifetime taxpayers who
see themselves as makers, not takers. As for the takers he’s not
getting any of their votes anyway.I see no downside to this.

People on Social Security are not takers — they had money taken
from them, without their consent all their working lives. The government
is the taker.

Yup. He told the truth but it will still badly hurt him.He just gave
obama and his media lap dogs a warehouse full of ammunition. It does
come across as insulting.

The comment about people not paying income taxes is particularly
stupid. After all there are a lot of hard working people who don’t pay
income taxes due to exemptions for dependents.
Back when I was married and had 3 kids at home you can damn well bet I
took every exemption I could get and I earned every penny. I worked 12
hours 6 and 7 days a week for it but apparently would have been unworthy
of voting for Mitt Saint Jesus.

They were FORCED to pay into SS. They have every right to collect on it. They’re the only ones who do!
Yes, they have every right to collect it.But his statement makes it
look like they are nothing but lazy leeches. Damn. Sometimes he just
needs to keep his mouth shut. Election is only about 7 weeks away now,
and this is really going to hurt him. He’s just given the media a months
worth of talking points.
