In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney: 'It kills me' not to be president [View all]subterranean
(3,427 posts)130. We should thank him for his honesty at that fundraiser meeting.
To me the worst part about his "47 percent" speech wasn't that he divided Americans into "makers and takers." It was the utter contempt with which he spoke about every American who doesn't make enough money to owe Federal income taxes.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank Mr. Romney once again for that brief moment of candor. And, of course, many thanks to the person who recorded the video and to James Carter IV and David Corn, who brought it to public attention. Every time Romney reappears, we are reminded what a great service they did for the nation.

if I am reading correctly, the only responsibility he took was "speaking too freely about the 47%"
