Romney is reframing alright: redistribution of wealth

On the Drudge Report there's a 14 year old quote from Obama saying he believes in a little redistribution of wealth for the good of everyone. (I'm paraphrasing.)

And guess who all of a sudden started whining about this? Romney mentioned 'redistribution of wealth' in remarks he just gave.

Basically, Romney's going to go all out with this "socialism/dependency" thing. That is really, really where he's going. He's hoping his base + voter suppression + 2 independents are going to push this thing for him.

*smh*

I can't wait until these people are sent packing and return to obscurity.

was blatant, even by their standards.

These comments were made when he was a state senator and one of his primary jobs was to take federal monies and be certain that they went equally to the parts of the state that needed them rather than all to the ones that might be clamoring for them. I.E. REDISTRIBUTION.

The man has never established anything. All he is, is an attack dog. He waits for someone else to say something and he tears it apart. That's been his strategy all along. He never defends himself because he makes no mistakes. He makes no mistakes because he has no positions. That shit on the tapes was, oh, a Mitt lark. He didn't really mean it the way it sounded. He meant what it said. If this is what happens when you are Harvard educated, I thank God I never applied.

You can't wait? No, I can't wait.
