Quote of the Day

"Actually, I didn't say that [there are 47% of Americans who won't take personal responsibility]. That's how it began to be perceived, and so I had to ultimately respond to the perception, because perception is reality."Mitt Romney, liar.

That video will exist forever. And it will forever show Mitt Romney, a multimillionaire of undiluted privilege who does not believe people are entitled to food, saying: "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. ...And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

Mitt Romney, you are a liar and a terrible person.
