On Personal Responsibility

Mother Jones has released a secret video of Mitt Romney speaking to wealthy donors at the Boca Raton home of controversial private equity mogul Mark Leder.   The Republican nominee told attendees of a $50,000. per plate dinner that 47 percent of Americans voting for President Obama "no matter what," are people “dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.”  He states that those persons pay no income taxes, so their message of lower taxes "doesn't connect," and, “My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.

He also tells donors that neither a Middle East peace nor a Palestinian state is possible, and that Palestinians have "no interest whatsoever in establishing peace and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish."  (So let's not take responsibility for that either.)

More here from the Caucus.

Now viral, the full nine yards:
