Don't let the media tell you what the secret Mitt Romney tape says. Listen yourself.
On Monday and Tuesday Mother Jones published exclusive video that captured Mitt Romney speaking to donors at a May 17 fundraiser, which was held at the home of private equity mogul Mark Leder. Responding to a question about the "Palestinian problem," Romney said peace in the Middle East is not possible and a Palestinian state is not feasible, telling donors that Palestinians have "no interest whatsoever in establishing peace and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish." At another point, the GOP presidential nominee told attendees of this $50,000-a-plate dinner that 47 percent of Americans—those who back President Obama—are "victims" who are "dependent upon government" and "pay no income tax." He noted: "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." These comments set off a media firestorm and generated headlines around the world. [Update: Check out additional highlights from the video here, and read the full transcript here.]
Romney's remarks, denigrating nearly half of the electorate, sent the Romney campaign—already roiled by infighting—into panic mode. The campaign hastily convened a late-night press conference to address his controversial statements, and Romney stood by his "off the cuff" comments, while conceding that they were "not elegantly stated." He claimed his comments where merely a "snippet" and not the "full response." That was not true; his comments were shown in full. He added, "I hope the person who has the video would put out the full material."
Romney is not the only one who has called for the release of the full 49-minute video. And we're more than happy to oblige. The complete video demonstrates that Romney was not snippetized and that he was captured raw and uncut. Here it is, in two parts.
Update: Due to a production error, a section of part one of the full Romney "47 percent" video was not initially uploaded properly and an intial section was omitted. This has now been remedied.
The real scandal is at the 10:13 point in this tape. ;)
I'll listen later. Thank you for posting it.
You know why I think so many people were offended by the comment? They ARE perpetual "victims" and the truth hurts.
47% do not pay federal income tax....some, not all, WILL vote for the Candy Man who keeps making promises like "free" cell phones. He will pick up the moron vote no matter what.
typical of the ODC (Obama Desperation Campaign).. how many stories is it now that we have seen this?
Yet... the press was hemming and hawing about not being able to pay Obama's video clip about his redistribution because they hadn't authenticated it yet.. (lol.. even though one network had aired it in the past already..lol)
So Romney is voting for Obama?
;)

I have listened to it. Still think Romney is a douche.
The "Obama Phone" was not Obama's doing. That has been proven in multiple threads. Stop with that.
I am a highly educated, middle of the road Independent who has feelings on both sides of the political fence. I support Obama 100%. I'm not a "victim", never have been. Any hope that Romney had of getting my vote was G-O-N-E when that tape was revealed.

Of course you will listen later.You do not want to hear Romney put his shoe up his ass.
FYI ....if you make under $250,000 a year you will be paying more on taxes than someone making more than 250,000.
If you lose your job you had better create a mompreneur job fast...become a millionare and hire lots of people.Because under Romney that is the only way you will survive on a hope and prayer.
If you lose your medical because you lose your job you had better hope the state you live in has assistance or you will starve and be homeless.
Romney will be to busy in office counting his millions and delegating his work divided by states to handle.He will be to busy for those people who want a hand out.You know those people.Those people who are in the military served our country and dont pay taxes.
You know those people....those evil elderly who worked all their lives and deserve medicare only get a small check voucher....good luck on paying for retirement and God forbid being able to stay in a home.
You know those people ....those students that would like to go to college but cant because there will be no loans under Mitt.
You know those people....that single mom struggeling to care for her baby and just needs help with food stamps and wick.
You know those people....like the disabled...whos mom cant afford medical to get a wheel chair or medication for her disabled child and needs medicaid...
You know those people....those people who work their asses off only to make 20,000 a year to feed their family and depend on the plant they work at.They just want to work and lose their job because our recession turns into a depression under Mitt.Oh well too bad....let them be homeless and live on the street.
As far as cell phones I have no clue what you are talking about.
But if Obama is the candy man.....Romney is the poison man...
You chose...
My vote....OBAMA
