No, you need to face up to your stupidity.
I'll ask the question again. Are there any other non-productive peeps other than retirees?
How's this new turn in foriegn policy working out?

Instead of asking Sean to explain what Willard Romney thinks, why don't you analyze what Willard Romney says?
Jesus, it's incredible.

I didn't say damn them and neither did he. He simply verbalized what we already know, those folks are voting for Obama.
Let's not talk about Obama's failed economic and foreign policies, having not submitted a serious budget since he's been in office, let's talk about something Romney said months ago as if it matters.
When did the South sign on with Obama?! This is huge.

I didn't see it that way.
I thought Mitt was talking about the U6 being upwards of 15%, the 25 million on food stamps, the disability benefits etc.

I just explained what I thought Mitt meant.
I didn't think it meant retirees.
What's incredible? Oh, I'll bet it's your way of making people look dumb....Or thinking you are.

Who is in that 47%? Does it include the elderly/retired or not?

I'm sure many retirees do not pay income tax.

Do you honestly think he subtracted those self-sufficient retirees from the percentage he spouted?

Many retirees are very productive in a social sense.
Many retirees do not have earned income, but have investments that contribute to the economy.

Self sufficient retirees probably pay taxes.

The entire discussion re. what Romney meant, didn't mean, who was included and who was not is just another smoke and mirrors distraction.
The economy is in the shitter, any statement that "it is getting stronger" was put to the lie by Bernake's QE3 announcement. You don't debase the currency, give inflation a shot in the ass, and tank the nations credit rating because the economy "is getting stronger."
Regarding foreign policy, even as the evidence mounts daily that State WAS given warnings days in advance, the presumptive Sec. State is sticking to the mantra that it was a 'spontaneous' event. And further keeps blaming the whole thing on some unknown dildo in CA. who made a movie that no one has seen, and probably never will see.
Meanwhile, the entire US foreign policy, as formulated by Obama and H. Clinton, is going up in flames, quite literally.

I suspect SS is well over 90% of your income, Gramps.
And I noticed you conveeeeeniently left out Medicare, which pays out $4 dollars for every dollar you contributed (including accumulated interest).
You're a leech, whether you choose to admit it or not.

IMO, the spontaneity of the attacks seems to be losing credibility.

That's just you relaxing and going into the light. Stay with it. Soon you'll see a friend or loved one who has passed come to guide you.
