Romney tells the truth (see the video) and the Dems have a fit.

 First response on the morning shows include these comments:  the majority of the welfare class are Republican and pay a higher tax rate than the rich.  I have never seen a campaign that features so many denials as relates to reality:  "Our standing in the world is at record highs,"  our "Islamic policy is working wonderfully," "Osama bin Laden is dead and GM is alive" has nothing to do with Middle Eastern  hatred for the US,  "We tried their plan and it failed, We tried our plan and it worked,"  "I am Israel's biggest friend,"  "No one saw the Muslim Brotherhood coming,"  "There was no reason to close our Libyan Consulate or warn Ambassador Stevens that his life was in danger,"  "the private sector is doing just fine, "our Afghan policy is leading to a negotiated and honorable peace."  "We have brought peace to the Middle East,"  We are defeating Iran in its effort for nuclear power, "   "The Karzai government will carry on our mission once we are gone,"  and the biggest whopper of all,  "We ARE better off than four years ago."  

Listen to this video and tell me if you hear Romney degrading the entitlement class. In fact, he is only recognizing the nature of the battle he is in.      

As things stand this morning,  this story is getting attention but it has not gone “viral” as did the idiot’s assessment of Romney versus Obama in the Libyan disaster.  Why?

For starters,  we all know that Obama has been dividing the nation between the haves and the have-nots with the intention of winning the 2012  election in the name of social justice and a full-one redistribution of wealth. 

Understand that this video was made on May 17 of this year  -  nearly four months ago.  Mother Jones has waited until now to release this “secret video” in the hopes of derailing Romney’s candidacy. 

Bloomberg Financial immediate issued this verdict: “Today Romney lost the election.”  Virtually all the angst leveled against Romney regarding this video is coming from NBC/MSNBC and the Obama campaign. 

Obama’s first response:

 “It’s shocking that a candidate for President of the United States would go behind closed doors and declare to a group of wealthy donors that half the American people view themselves as ‘victims,’ entitled to handouts, and are unwilling to take ‘personal responsibility’ for their lives. It’s hard to serve as president for all Americans when you’ve disdainfully written off half the nation.” – Jim Messina, Obama for America Campaign Manager

Obama speaks to wealthy donors behind closed doors at least once a week.  It was behind closed doors in 2008 that he made fun of half the nation,  typifying them as clingers and racists. 

Secondly, as specifically regards Messina's expressed criticism of Romney.  Understand that Messina went after Romney for writing off half the nation when a president should be “president for all Americans.”  This in spite of the absolute fact that Obama has made headlines,  over and over again,  as he pursues a political process that completely ignores the GOP, all white middle class working types and Catholic Church/Evangelicals,  nation wide  --  easily half of the national population. 

More on this later,  but know this,  Romney is absolutely right.  Class warfare has been an Obama reality and election strategy since he took office. "They" claim they want a fight on the economy.  Well,  bring it on  -   we are more than ready.
