Originally Posted By TomSawyer Romney spoke to a more favorable crowd at a GOP fundraiser with a more supportive crowd. He told them, "When I mentioned I am going to get rid of Obamacare, they weren't happy ... That's okay, I want people to know what I stand for, and if I don't stand for what they want, go vote for someone else, that's just fine. But I hope people understand this, your friends who like Obamacare, you remind them of this, if they want more stuff from the government, tell them to go vote for the other guy—more free stuff" <a href="http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com/quote/gov-romney-3/" target="_blank">http://gretawire.foxnewsinside...omney-3/</a> So, Romney likens the African American audience at the NAACP to a bunch of people who want free stuff - playing handily into the stereotypes that many of his supporters hold about African Americans. I don't support Obamacare because I want free stuff - I support it because I want freeloaders to start paying for the health care that they are receiving. Romney, of course, panders to the racist narrative of the far right. It's disgusting.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan The GOP can't seem to get the narrative right on this. One minute it's "free stuff" the next minute having people pay for their health care is "socialism." What Mittens hasn't been able to do is explain how "Romneycare" is different than "Obamacare." I can't wait for the debates to hear him stutter and film-flam around those questions.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 "Romney showed up unlike Obama" You're kidding, right? You do know that Obama has spoken there before and this invitation was specifIcally to Romney, right? Or did your radio or computer just throw out that line and you're parroting it without looking deeper?
Originally Posted By 182 Yeah why would the NAACP want the President Obama when they could have the Vice President Biden.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Because Obama had previously spoken there, they realize he's a busy man, and so they're fine with Biden? Nah, too logical. If you think a significant part of that audience, other than Romney's plants, will be voting for him rather than Obama, you really do have Fox poisoning.
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder We're likely going to see a lot mor eof "what Romney stands for" because he's gotten so much blowback on changing his mind. Problem is, he'll "stand against" "Obamacare" now because he's told to by the far right, except he was all for it when it was "Romneycare". Every single issue he'll do that, and then be unable to explain why he used to hold the opposite view. It would also be fun to hear him explain why "Obamacare" is all about "free stuff", when supposedly everyone on Mitt's block is all upset about being made to, you know, "pay" for health care now. How do you explain that, Donny old boy?
