Video: Leftist rag Mother Jones releases an absolute nothing-burger on Mitt Romney

Update: Here’s Romney’s Presser on the subject.

If it were not for the fact that this story was so darned funny; it would actually be pretty sad.

Mother Jones the crypt keeper of all things liberal, comes up with some really super secret video of Mitt Romney telling the absolute truth about the Obama voting people.

Here are the videos:

On Obama voters:

On Treating Obama gingerly, because he does not want to lose the independent voter:

On his consultants:

On the fact that most people couldn’t give a rip about politics; that they care about bread and butter issues:

On Obama and Wall Street; and if Mitt Romney wins, Wall Street will improve:

In this idiotic article, the author makes a false claim:

(Note: Obama did not promise his policies would keep unemployment under 8 percent,and 50 percent of college graduates are not unemployed.)

Well, um, actually —- Via Washington Examiner:

Mother Jones reporter David Corn claims the line about Obama promising to get unemployment under eight percent is not true.

Corn is wrong: Two of Obama’s economic advisers released a report in January 2009 arguing that the economic stimulus bill would have unemployment under 6 percent by now.

Also too The Astute Bloggers reminds us of the following:

From the Economic Collapse Blog:

The following are 16 statistics which show that the number of Americans dependent on the government is at an all-time high….

#1 According to the Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that gets direct monetary benefits from the federal government.  Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government.

#2 The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to Americans has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House.

#3 The number of Americans receiving Social Security disability benefits has increased by 10 percent since Barack Obama first took office.

#4 Back in 1990, the federal government accounted for 32 percent of all health care spending in America. Today, that figure is up to 45 percent and it is projected to surpass 50 percent very shortly.

#5 The number of Americans on food stamps recently hit a new all-time high. It has increased by 3 million since this time last year and by more than 14 million since Barack Obama first entered the White House.

#6 Today, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps and one out of every four American children is on food stamps. This is unprecedented in American history.

#7 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps.

#8 Back in 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income. In 2010, government transfer payments accounted for 18.4% of all income, which was a new all-time high.

#9 By the end of 2011, approximately 55 million Americans received a total of approximately 727 billion dollars in Social Security benefits. As the retirement crisis becomes much worse, that dollar figure is projected to absolutely skyrocket.

#10 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Social Security system paid out more in benefits than it received in payroll taxes in 2010. That was not supposed to happen until at least 2016.

#11 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse. It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls.

#12 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run out five years faster than previously anticipated.

#13 The total cost of just three federal government programs – the Department of Defense, Social Security and Medicare – exceeded the total amount of taxes brought in during fiscal 2010by 10 billion dollars.

#14 It is being projected that entitlement spending by the federal government will nearly double by the year 2050.

#15 Right now, spending by the federal government accounts for about 24 percent of GDP.  Back in 2001, it accounted for just 18 percent.

#16 When you total it all up, American households are now receiving more money directly from the federal government than they are paying to the government in taxes.

So, in other words, Romney told the truth about the left and now they are having a collective (Something they do well, collectivism!)  heart attack about it. Two words lefties: Oh well. Truth hurts don’t it?

  1. So those 49% that the Astute Bloggers show in the stats are all Obama supporters. What about Romney supporters getting government assistance (and there are a large amount here in rural South Carolina). Where do they fit? Are they “elevated handout takers”? And those Senior Citizens that paid into social security? They are Obama supporters? The problem for Ol’ Mitt is the blanket characterization. It is 100% wrong that only Obama supporters are “handout takers”. It’s not that simple.

    1. Eh, The majority of those who are on social security are Obama supporters. Not all of them, but the majority are supporters.

      The problem for Ol’ Mitt is the blanket characterization

      You mean the one like Obama used towards people like me? Calling us, “Bitter Clingers?” Saying that we were bitter because of change and that we clinged to our Bible and our Religion and our Guns? You mean like that, Mr. Steel?

      The problem for Ol’ Mitt is the blanket characterization. It is 100% wrong that only Obama supporters are “handout takers”. It’s not that simple.

      Oh that’s Bullcrap and you know it Steel. The only reason why the Democratic Party has SO MANY minority supporters, is because it gives them handouts and lip service. Which is pretty stinking ironic, considering this is the SAME party of George Wallace and “Segregation Today, Segregation Tomorrow and Segregation Forever.” In fact, George Wallace WAS a democrat, and only left the party and run on that independent ticket because the Northern Democrats, who were not racist, at least not publicly — controlled the Party. But, truthfully, they agreed with him. Which is what set the Republican Party apart. They knew all that garbage was totally wrong, they were the party of Lincoln. However, they were NOT willing to give handouts to anybody. They believe in hard work, and earning your own keep. This is why the Republican Party could never get the black vote.

      You are welcome here anytime, but you are not welcome to your own set of facts. The truth is after civil rights act of 1964; the Democratic Party brought the minorities into the fold, by enticing them with promises of free stuff. This is why minorities flock to that party. This is also why minorities shy away from the Republican Party. Because they do not offer them jack squat. They believe in hard work, and taking care of one’s self and no relying on the GOVERNMENT to do it for them.

      Again, thanks for trying, but as with all liberals. You believe things that are just not so.

      NEXT!
