The Latest Romney Scandal?
Listening to breathless media liberals this morning would cause you to conclude that Mitt Romney had made a horrible campaign blunder. CNBC's John Harwood suggested the race was virtually over. "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said he was so embarrassed by Romney that he wanted to put a paper bag over his head.
So what exactly did Romney say? Here's his "controversial" statement:
"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'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. 47 percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect… my job is not to worry [politically] about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
To his credit, Governor Romney is not backing off, and I hope he hangs tough. The growth of government entitlements and dependency must be defining issues in this campaign.
There is tremendous anxiety across the country that the left is building a dependent class as the foundation of its efforts to "fundamentally transform" America into a European-style socialist welfare state. This is partially what gave rise to the Tea Party movement.
Government bureaucrats are taking over health care. They are trying to tell us what to eat. They are shutting down coal plants. They are subsidizing failing alternative energy companies.
They are telling car companies to make vehicles the public doesn't want or can't afford. They are forcing churches and religious institutions to violate their core values. They are overregulating businesses to the point that many can't afford to hire and create new jobs.
What Should Romney Do Now?
Governor Romney should elaborate and make it clear that he does genuinely care about those 47%. They deserve lives of more significance and more hope of success than what the Democrats are offering.
Conservatives know how to grow the economy so that everyone can have the dignity of work and the fruits of their own labor. We know how to improve schools. We know children need mothers and fathers. Democrats, as the last four years demonstrate, only know how to grow the government -- a government that increasingly demands more and more.
Republicans don't want more poor people. We want to lift the poor out of despair and get them off welfare. It often seems that Democrats measure success by how many people they can get on the welfare rolls!
The American people are with us. A Gallup poll released yesterday found that 54% of Americans believe the government is doing too much, while 39% want government to do more. Among independents, 62% believe government is doing too much. We can win this debate!
Breaking News: More Video
More video has just been released. This time Romney is discussing the difficulty of negotiating with the Palestinians. He says:
"…the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace… I
look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political
purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel..."
Romney is right! Keep releasing the tapes!
Now Expand The Debate
It's clear from the polling data that most Americans understand the economy stinks. Obama's policies aren't working and Americans are not happy with the direction of the country. But that argument hasn't sealed the deal yet. I believe there is a way Mitt Romney can reach people who may not agree with him on tax reform.
Attack Obama on a second front -- expose Obama's radicalism on values!
That's exactly what I am doing!
Today, my Super PAC, Campaign for American Values, began running ads in the key battleground states of Iowa and Ohio reminding voters of Obama's hostility to faith. Click here to see these ads. Share them with friends and family members. Please let me know what you think!
Thank You!
My staff has just finished tallying up the contributions we received in the mail over the past few days. Once again, my friends, you have come through. We met our fundraising goal!
I promise we will put your hard-earned resources to good use in the battle to defeat Barack Obama!
Thank you for standing with me!
