Common sense and
the truth:
Conservatives rushed to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s
defense Tuesday after the release of a video tape showing him
characterizing supporters of President Obama as people "dependent on the
government" who "believe that they are victims."
From Rep. Allen West to radio pundit Laura Ingraham and website
commentators like Erik Erikson, conservatives around the blogosphere
rallied to Romney's defense.
The response was notable both because of the speed and the depth of
passion with which they defended Romney, who has bothered some
conservatives with his flexible positions on issues like abortion over
the years.
"Mitt Romney probably could have better explained himself," West,
R-Fla., said Tuesday on Fox News. "I think he was a little clumsy in
doing it."
Romney was right to say the US is "moving toward economic dependence
instead of economic freedom." West pointed to the increase in food
stamp recipients under the Obama administration as well as poverty and
unemployment rates.
Which do YOU identify with more -- Obama's takers or the people who pay for his largess?
"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic" - Alexis de Tocqueville.
We're just about there folks. Re-elect Obama and the fundamental transformation of our country from a country of prosperity to a country of dependency will be complete.
