"You people weren't supposed to hear that. You're not smart business people like I was talking to. You of course can't understand why we business people would think you're worthless baggage."

comments are very important to me and should be for anyone of retirement age.

What a bunch of amateurs! I swear, the more they talk, the more I become a communist.

The behind closed doors disdain by the rich, of the "common man". And they are trying to spin it to be something else!

Nice try Ehrlich. Didn't you LOSE the last election? Oh yeah, ya did!

because he was "less careful" than at a public event.

Wow, this is really helping him, Mr. Ehrlich. lol

That guy is really helping the Mittster out, isn't he?

I'd like to see just who buys this crap...

These were whisper numbers we weren't supposed to hear.

Obviously, he's going to say different things to the important people than he's going to say to the plebes and layabout class. Jeez!

They are STILL -at this late date- trying to convince us that Romney is human! Un-fucking-believable!

Keep digging!!

That he was just speaking to his audience, telling them what they want to hear. I can't decide which is worse: A heartless plutocrat, or an empty vessel, mirroring its surroundings like a chameleon. FWIW, I believe he is both. He may well be a 'good guy' in his immediate surroundings, like friends and family, but that's the extent of his ability to empathize.

'You underlings weren't supposed to hear that. It was for important business people, you know, who actually matter, only.'

Yah, that'll win the independents over.

that Romney was running from the hard right, but would govern from the center. Both Tweety and the other reporter on the show laughed in his face over that, basically saying that if that were the case his own party would revolt against him.

This is why the exclusive, back room, country club days should be long gone, so that "businessmen" can't get together and decide the fates of people without their knowledge.

So help me, this thing plays like a Sopranos episode, the heads of the families meeting and talking about the mooks they're bilking.

most notably at the political level.

You'll get out of that hole eventually ...

... once you get to China.

by going on about how it was an "off the cuff" statement and he didn't realize the mike was on, blah blah blah.

So what we got was what he really thinks about that subject.

Of course, that doesn't mean a bit to the same people who voted for GWB in spite of the fact that he said things that were just as stupid...and right out in the open, too.

I, for one, cannot wait to see the Presidential debates...

where Garrett asked Romney whether people should be concerned that he may be telling his financial supporters one thing and the public something different?

Sounds like Ehrlich just proved Garrett's point beyond a doubt.

If this is truly off the cuff what's to say ole Mitt won't tell some country we are going to nuke them...off the cuff.

"You people have heard more than we want you to hear."

is now sitting in the middle of the national dinner party stinking to high heaven. The toothpaste is not going back into the tube and the masks have been ripped from their monstrous faces.

The 1% has always despised the ordinary citizenry but it has finally been said out in the open.

As another DUer's sig line puts it, It's all fun and games until somebody rolls out a fucking guillotine.
