Is it as obvious to everyone else that the news is having to try really hard to make this a scandal?

Yeah, I caught on to that pretty quickly. The media is realing trying to ruin Romney. I like the fact that he refused to apoligize, he is right after all.

romney basically said 47% of america doesnt pay taxes and gets some kind of substantial help from the govt. Those people arent going to vote for him, so he doesnt want to expend rescources reaching out to people who dont want to vote a free ride away.

He didn't quote the statistic correctly but he is correct. People who get money from the government will vote themselves a pay raise if they vote for Obama.

The total SAD part of this is thats its almost half our country. Thats what pisses me off. Not so much the media but the people that Think that they are Owed something for nothing. I would like to know that stats on how many are Veterans like me and Mykal that struggle all the time and some feel we don't have a soapbox. Food for thought~
