Mitt Romney’s now-infamous fundraising dinner has yielded another gem. This is the event during which he was caught saying that,


”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. … [M]y job is not to
worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take
personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
Of course, those people consist of senior citizens, disabled people,
veterans, students and the poor. The elitism of Romney’s statement
resonated with many people, enough so that it seemed to sway the
election for a few weeks, at least until the first debate.



It seems that for Romney, the “truths” told during that particular
fundraiser are like any ghost worth his reputation, the haunting is
relentless and this latest portion could be the most damaging of all. In
the video, Romney is caught hoping for an Iran hostage type situation
to help propel him into the White House. Is it any surprise that he has
tried to make political hay out of the Benghazi terror attacks?
As you watch the video, notice the man (is that a British accent?)
asking Romney how he can “duplicate” an Iran hostage type scenario.
Instead of dismissing the question as going against American interests,
Romney agrees that the strategy would be beneficial. The entire video is
worth a listen but at the end, Romney says, “if something of that nature presents itself, I will work to take advantage of the opportunity.”
