where the fuck are these leeches????
teapukes are constantly talking about them but I don't see them!

It's kind of ironic that they don't get that they are being dissed

Judging me by the same standards as everybody else is wrong!

That guy gets disability for being blind. Why can't I get disability for not being able to see reality>? It's discrimination!

if they didn't pay any taxes last year...and being retired is no excuse.

Those kind of leeches? Maybe if "smart" people supported the republican party, they might understand the meaning of the word "irony".

(TANF) he needed to say 1.7%. Stupid, stupid people who don't use facts. Leeching off society at 1.7%. So many people. All 4 million of them.

should know who he was talking about. The repubs hate Obama so much they are falling over themselves trying to spin this.

He was talking about them.

I can only assume they think Rmoney was thinking of the same people they do when they complain about government programs: minorities.

See if you can hose this one off, Mitt.

it always someone else that is the "leech"

I wish they could just say it.

It's Arithmatic.

He wasn't talking about me, as my family pays quite a bit in federal income tax, and I'm someone who will vote for Obama no matter what. He was talking about someone. Actually he was talking about a lot of people, and I know this is partly another race baiting dog whistle and all, but 47% of Americans aren't African American so he didn't mean that.

47%. Yeah, he was including them.

The stupid, it burns.

So if you are a full time student whose only income is a Pell Grant and student loans then you are a leach even though you have to pay back the loan. And this is even though you are trying to get an education so you that you fall out of the group of people who pay no federal income taxes. Because if you don't ever get an education there is a good chance you may never in your lifetime pay much if anything for federal income taxes. Unfortunately all other taxes are regressive.

included in Mitt's statement. No siree.

It's all about them if it's good, and about someone else if it's bad. If they have to collect unemployment, it's because they've worked hard and earned it. If someone else has to, they refer to them as "lazy" among other slurs. Some people believe what they want to believe, and have created incredible filters to insulate their tiny world. Sometimes I wish I could do that. It's frustrating having to deal with people like this because no matter how many facts or how good of an argument you present, you'd get better leeway talking to a brick wall.

As I said in a DU post that got zero responses:

Of course he wasn't talking about YOU

Whoever dreamed that a full 47% of Americans are "people who could and should work but feel they’re entitled to using the system to stay perpetually on food stamps and handouts"...?

value of Bog Mittens is priceless in the sense that it keeps on perpetuating myths that they hope people will latch-onto and believe.

That seems to provide an impetus for condoning the ending of any helpful or compassionate means to uplift people in need, no matter how miniscule the remaining help is. It also serves to make people who are nearing dire need to feel bad about and avoid seeking help.

Molding an Ayn Rand sculpture of self-centered decay takes as many strikes of that hammer as they can get away with. None of it goes to waste, no matter how we may point out facts and deride the lunacy.

he actually gave us a percentage.

?w=655

Back to the dark ages, with Mitt and Ryan.
