8 Falsehoods, Lies and Misstatements From Romney Fundraising Video

From the article:

Quote:Mother Jones released the first of several video excerpts secretly shot at a Mitt Romney fundraiser earlier this year, presumably after he secured the Republican nomination in late May. The first video excerpts, and a related article by MoJo’s David Corn, made big waves on Monday; they show Romney making a series of broad-brush comments insulting Obama voters as ne’er-do-wells who linger on the public payroll and don’t pay taxes.

And that’s only the start. Romney apparently says he would be doing better if he had been born to Mexican parents, says he can’t get too intellectual or specific and win the White House, says the economy would recover by virtue of his election alone—and a whole bunch of other assertions that one feels comfortable making in a room that’s apparently filled with people he believes can raise millions of dollars for him.

...

Rmoney plays with the facts and stats, like saying that 47% that don't pay income tax, or 50% of recent college grads can't find a job, and other statements to pander to his audience. The worst part is that he shows that he doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone not in the top 1%. Those that are not rich like him are a bunch of dependent moochers that only want to live off of the government. Someone that believes that has no business as President.
