Is Romney a social darwinist? (47 Percent Quote)

[quote name='dmaul1114']But I don't see anyway Romney wins, so we'll never know.[/QUOTE]

True, it's like his campaign just imploded.

The 47 percent quote reminded me of that moment in "A Face in the Crowd" when everyone hears what the candidate really thinks of them.

I just love to hear fellow Republicans deriding his quote as misguided or stupid. It must be tearing them up inside...

Hahaha...some people actually defend him and say that it's "class envy" or some other bullshit.

Only pundits and one-termers. Professional politicians know that the 47 percent quote is poison.
 
You know, it's pretty common for stuff from years before to be drudged up during an election,things from before someone had aspirations of office maybe. A lot of the shit Romney has been caught in though has been pretty recent, even after he began running. I just have to wonder what in the hell he's thinking. In the case of that video, private dinner or not, you just don't say stupid shit like that when you're running for office.

He's a rather smart idiot, it seems. I don't see how he can win at this point, especially if he keeps on saying he doesn't need particular segments of society.

True, but I was referring to non-politicians.

Ah yes, there are always people who are completely delusional. Matt Taibbi was on a roll today:

Romney is an almost perfect amalgam of all the great out-of-touch douchebags of our national cinema: he's Gregg Marmalaard from Animal House mixed with Billy Zane's sneering, tux-wearing Cal character in Titanic to pussy-ass Prince Humperdinck to Roy Stalin to Gordon Gekko (he's literally Gordon Gekko). He's everything we've been trained to despise, the guy who had everything handed to him, doesn't fight his own battles and insists there's only room in the lifeboat for himself – and yet the Democrats, for some reason, have had terrible trouble beating him in a popularity contest.
