Why run a country where you disrespect 47% of its people?

What goals for our country drives Romney to seek the office? Better yet - - what is his goal for those people - reform them? help them more? give them tough love and ween them off the system we can no longer afford? I know we cannot peer into Willard's head, but if you think 47% of the public believe they are hopeless slackers and see themselves as victims - what can you do for them? Your thoughts?

It has never been about helping people with the Mitt Romney's of the world. It's about pushing an agenda where the rich can keep getting richer. The only reasons any of these types of people do any thing for the bottom half of the country is to get their votes. The other is just to throw people a biscuit every now and again to keep them off their back. This way people will think that they actually do care about our lives, when the Mitt Romney's of the world really could careless. The best thing the 47 percent can do for themselves is to quit voting people into office like Mitt Romney. Bush was a lot about money but he even tried to help the poor somewhat. Even though he screwed that up too and made it worse for people. Romney just has no clue what everyday Americans go through. So why everyday Americans would vote for someone like that is beyond me.

Just because Romney didn't say it very well and was misunderstood and quoted out of context doesn't mean that there aren't about 47% who probably will vote for Obama because they believe all the lies and false promises he gives out. There is a long history of Democrats claiming that they will help the poor, the middle class, etc. just to get elected. But when they are, their actions lead to those groups growing in size and the making it harder for them to rise above those classifications. Obama's agenda is to spend and spend some more no matter how it grows the national debt and puts a burden on the people now and in the future and to increase the size government. All this results in the loss of freedoms for the American people. Romney as shown in Mass. that he can help everyone. He has clarified those out of context quotes by saying he would work for all the American people even those about 47% that probably would vote for Obama. Romney was not writing them off as people he would work for but as votes that were likely to go to Obama. Unfortunately those votes probably will go to Obama because they don't understand that his policies will keep them were they are and not help to elevate to better conditions.

B.O. disrespects 100% of its people. You don't think these 47% types exist? At least half of them live in Detroit, KCK, etc.
