47 Percent

The longer the discussion continues, the more clearly I understand the 47 percent Willard discussed share only one common characteristic: they will vote for Obama instead of him. All that bullshit about welfare, taxes, dependence and victim mentalities is stereotyping that he added as icing on the cake for his millionaire audience. If you listen to him talk about his plans for the economy, it's obvious Willard is only comfortable when he's grossly oversimplifying things. He likes to avoid complexity.

A short Salon article by Joan Walsh about white working class Protestant voters is recommended reading. Willard should read it.
