You're telling me an agency never skewers statistics to keep them in a good light and job?
TSA, ATF, DOJ, The White House, ring any bells?

blah, blah, blah.

Here's where my statistics come: US Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Commerce, CATO Institute, as of July 2012


Where are yours from?

That number is based on those who derived at least 50% of their income from welfare.

Kinda curious what you have against all those retirees, unemployed and working poor.

It's funny how you commented this, then provided a statistic that mostly excludes those same folks.

Polls....please. Reagan was way behind in the polls a few months before the election. Look what happened there. What, 49 States won? LOL @ polls.

I'm fairly sure that I may not be the only asshole that, when that rare occasion happens, says, "sure I'm voting for obama"

I don't think he hurt his chances at all. The people who bitch the loudest about what he said aren't going to vote for Romney anyway. The people who are going to vote for Romney agree with his premise.

Maybe a few undecideds might be a little butt hurt. But, if they're honest with themselves, they'll know he was right.

I was part of the 47% (<$35k a year, though I didn't collect food stamps or welfare) for...oh...6 years?

I voted Republican every time in those 6 years. (Okay, libertarian once, in a local race, but the Republican was a total cunt.)

Romney went full retard and tossed a dash of economic determinism into the mix. I don't know how many people he's going to actually alienate - a lot of repubs seem so scared of Obama that they'd vote for Stalin if he ran against him - but at least a few.
