Or as the entire Republican Party is probably thinking: SHUT UP.  On May 17, 2012 the presidential candidate held a, what he thought was a private" fundraiser.  Just before heading into the event he commented to the reporters that it was "too bad they couldn't attend".  Little did he know at the time someone would be taping his speech in its entirety.  The speech he gave to his fellow republican supporters was just released on the internet by someone named Mother Jones.  This speech shows Mitt Romney in an intimate setting where he could be himself and not his "presidential candidate" self.  Here he seems to let loose and speak freely on some issues in which he would never say if he knew cameras were rolling.
     To me Mitt Romney has always seemed fake and that I could never genuinely connect with him or his "stories".  Now everyone can see who he really is behind those closed doors with no one filming.  After the videos were leaked Romney held a press conference to explain himself.  Never did he think to apologize to those Americans that he disrespected, those 47% of Americans to be exact.  These victims, freeloaders on the government, and those he does not consider important to his campaign to win the Presidential election this November.  The other group he disrespected would be those Americans of Latino decent.  He cracked jokes about if he was born into a Mexican family he could get the minority vote.  Not only do I find that racist I think he may also be referring to the blacks voting for Obama only because he is black.  Apparently the 47% of Americans, including myself, are just ignorant followers who can't make decisions of our own.  We base our decisions on the ethnicity of the candidate and since we don't pay our income taxes, gosh he doesn't even need to be bothered by our measly minority votes.
       If you really look at the numbers yes, 47% of Americans do not pay income taxes.  Having said here is a chart that explains what we do pay.
      If Mitt Romney wants a chance to win this election he just needs to shut up and stick to the scripts his team writes up for him.
