Romney's warped view of reality

[chhotii]

Romney says:

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.

He then continues to say: "[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

Yeah.

Context. Romney was talking about campaign strategy, not governing, as is clear from the full audio.

There are plenty of things to nail Romney for. No need to go looking for extra ones.
