Everybody is in a tizzy over Mitt Romney's comments to CNN about not being concerned about the poor.
Saying the nation had a "very ample safety net," Romney cited Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers as examples of government programs that protect the poor. "I'm not concerned about the very poor," he said.. "There's a safety net there, and if it needs repair I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the heart of America, the 95% of Americans who are right now struggling."

Newt Wasserman Gingrich quickly went on the attack, as if he as a member of the DNC. Give me a break. The federal government spends hundreds of billions of dollars to feed, shelter and care for those in poverty. Over the past few years our government has drifted from taking care of the truly needy (the proverbial safety net) to taking care of the truly needy AND the truly lazy or people who have made poor choices and as a result live in poverty. We have created a comfort net for millions of people who do not deserve any benefits.

Mitt Romney needs to take a deep breath once in a while and realize that the Obamanoids are always looking for that ill-conceived "sound-bite" to use against you. The liberal main street media will, of course, ignore all the gaffes that the president makes.

I agree with Mitt Romney that we have a "very ample safety net". The dumbocrats will make a big deal of this truncated sound bite, as well as a desperate Newt Wasserman Gingrich. Let's face facts, the dumbocrats have a virtual lock on the poverty vote anyway. They will continue to try to buy votes with more and more "safety net" programs. However, the more the left tries to portray Romney as the enemy of the poor, the more they will turn off the millions of hard working taxpayers who believe the liberal Moocher State should be downsized to affordable and realistic levels.



Don't worry, taxpayers, the Moocher State is in good hands with Nancy and Harry.
