The 47% was a 'reference' for those folks that Romney figured he could not reach regardless of what he said... I used it in the same manor. A reference to MKelcy - that I wasn't really interested in trying to change his mind. I figured he wasn't going to agree to ANYTHING that I would say.
I don't recall him (Romney) --- or me (GregWeld) --- labeling them as stupid.. or poor... The reference was simply that you can't reach everyone.
See, to me this is part of the problem. We get bogged down arguing semantics rather than the basic issues. Sorry - you can count me out of arguments like that. They're pointless. Let's stick to just trying to find, or arguing about, a solution rather than picking up on whether someone watches Fox news - or wants to challenge an idea based on semantics.
