Check in here if you are a lazy moocher who voted for President Obama!

I am starting my new job very soon. It will be an evening shift away from my son. My husband is a truck driver who covers thousands of miles every month. If we're lucky, we get to see him 2-3 times a month.

We're both Veterans. We are handed health care. Our son gets state coverage for his health care. We both voted for Obama.

So I guess we must be lazy moochers according to Rmoney.

I spent 8 years in college, 4 years after that working 80 or 90 hour weeks. Now i own my own business. I'm voting for Obama, so I guess i am shit on the bottom of Romney's shoe.

At 16 I worked in a hospital and paid my first income taxes, SS and state and local tax. At 18 it was a factory. And so it went my entire life. I even owned my own small business for 15 years until 2008 when because of the collapse of the economy under Bush, I had no choice but to close it. After I turned 65 I worked as a demonstrator at Wal Mart until 2 years ago when I had to have 2 stents put in my arteries. I am totally appalled at Robme claiming I have never been responsible, am a free loader, and want the government to put food on my table. And for him to claim that I have never paid taxes is over the top as well. I am 69 years old and yes I am on SS, something I put hard earned dollars into for over 50 years. As far as I am concerned, Mitt Romney can kiss my derriere if he ever gets high enough to reach it.

My union made car transported to me on taxpayer subsidized railroads and driving around on taxpayer funded streets so I can work 60 hrs a week for a 1% who agrees with Mitt - employees are parasites who just look for ways to suck the wealth out of his pockets.

not only am I voting for Obama, I'm disturbed that Mitt Romney pays a much lower percentage in taxes than I do.

I think we need to circle back to those missing tax records. What exactly has Mittie the Moocher been paying?

He will be disappointed that in his hypothetical scenario he can't get as many of the 3% between us and the 50% he has as he thinks. There's also that problem of people among the 47% might have 50%er friends who are offended by his entire campaign.

I hope Obama humiliates him in this election.

for Yankee Gas (the local gas utility). Then he spends his weekends playing church services (oh no, we go to church and vote for Dems!). I sub at schools and and am going back to school to get my teaching certificate. We are such moochers. Our income tax this year had us paying at 15%. Like I said, moochers.
Of course, the 47% are not moochers either. Elderly, disabled and people who are poor but trying to make it the best they can are not moochers. Nope. The real moochers are those like Mittens that rely on corporate welfare when they are already incredibly wealthy. Mitt is a total asshole and I hope these tapes haunt him at night for the rest of his life.
