ROMNEY TAPED AT SECRET DONOR MEETINGr

Romney, convinced there would be no evidence made public of his words at a fund raiser last May 17, 2012 must be shocked to learn that his whole talk of an hour has made the news.  Mother Jones is behind its being made public and seems to have made quite certain it was true, a good quality of film and it has blanked out all faces but Romney's.

His disdain for the 47% of our country who are below the poverty line and getting government assistance and services was made patently clear.  The video is the whole hour so it is presented without concern about context being misleading.  To see this article from BBC, click here.  The US Republican nominee is shown saying he could not win votes of 47% of people who do not pay US income tax.  "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives," he says.

"During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don't assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them. Fielding a question from a donor about how he could triumph in November, Romney replied:

There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

Romney went on: "[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Mother Jones has obtained video of Romney at this intimate fundraiser—where he candidly discussed his campaign strategy and foreign policy ideas in stark terms he does not use in public—and has confirmed its authenticity. To protect the confidential source who provided the video, we have blurred some of the image, and we will not identify the date or location of the event, which occurred after Romney had clinched the Republican presidential nomination.
