Sad to say that had this information been release when it should have been all it would mean would be that Obama wins in a landslide instead of just barely getting 50%.

For all the bitching and moaning the Left does about Romney's 47% remark, this election has pretty much proved his point.

Agreed.

Romney was right....'bread and circus' won the election. Just like any third world countyr most of the illegals come from.

Romney could never compete with santa Claus.  A bunch to kids realized that their parents didn't lie, he does exist.  Figures, he doesn't really give coal like the legend.

Hard to believe you cons have NOT YET figured out who the 47% ARE.

I am going to bet several of them are members of this board. (retired)

I guess he is some kind of Santa, except his idea of punishment is killing coal and regulating it, not putting it in stockings.

Oh, I don't know. Working for forty years and then drawing Social Security - which you've paid into for all of those forty years - along with your work pension; strikes me as fundamentally different from having been on the government dime since the day you were born (ever heard of W.I.C.?).

He may have been off by a couple of percentage points, but his statement was accurate.............the elections proved it.

Obama also knows who the 47% are, which is why the release of these numbers was intentionally delayed until after election day. A complete break from protocol. Otherwise known as cheating. If Bush would have done something similar in 04, the left would have been going completely nuts.

Mitt Romney in video: 47 percent of Americans 'Believe they are Victims' and feel 'Entitled'

But this same person you describe who worked for forty years, could easily be part of the 47%.

I think I missed your point.

Lets see some stats on these people who you claim spend their entire lives, on the government dime.

Sure there are people who abuse the system, but the assumption that huge numbers are doing this, is a right wing fairy tale.
You would also need to admit that both sides of the isle has "deadbeats"

If you were right we would not have ghettos and housing estates...

So ghettos are created by the government?
or
by lack of decent jobs at decent wages.

I think the later.

Slum wages produce slums, go figure?

Absolutely, I policed these Govt created enclaves from the 1970's to the 1990's. In Washington DC.

Barry Farms, Potomac gardens, Susum Cordia, mention any of those GOVT housing projects to any veteran cop in washington DC and they'll start with a list of 'war stories' involving violence and mayhem reinforced by drugs, alcohol and prostitution.

The govt built these places using "job corps" youth supposedly trained and under the watchful eye of experienced tutors. Using double value material, They produced crappy cockroch and rat infested buildings with peeling paint, leaky faucets, bad electrical wiring and toilets that don't flush and ceiling's that collapsed.

They filled the apartments with welfare recipients that spent their checks on King Corbra heroin, schlitz malt liquior bull and rented their homes out to the various crack lords who turned the place into a modern day version of the Deadwood. They knocked holes in the walls to connecting aprtments so that when cops came with a srearch warrant they could run like ground hogs thru four or five different hovels and out into the street.

And right in the middle of it all was some scumbag like Marion 'Crackhead' Barry with his hand out to the fed govt for improvement money to build more of the same and his other hand in the contractors wallets taking bribes.

You need to get a grasp on reality.
