Hey Governor Romney! Were you talking about me?
Hi! My name is Eleonora, and according to Governor Romney I’m one of the 47%.
You see, I support President Barack Obama and the Democrats. According to Gov. Romney, that means I “pay no income tax” and won’t take “personal responsibility and care” for my life. Gov. Romney says I’m dependent on government and think I’m “entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.”
That would be news to my mortgage lender and my accountant.
Tell Governor Romney he’s wrong. Support Tenth Dems today.
My husband and I bought a modest house that we could afford and are actually prepaying our mortgage. We pay our bills on time, and never carry a credit card balance from month to month. The only government check we get is the one I earn when I do arbitration work for the county.
Since both of us are self-employed, we buy our own health
insurance. Sure, I had to scale back coverage. That’s because our health insurer kept reaching into our pocket, jacking up our premiums sometimes 20% a year. At that rate, the cost of health insurance was catching up to our
mortgage.
My husband and I work hard to raise our daughter to be a responsible, caring member of society. We work hard at being good neighbors and good citizens.
No, Mr. Romney. I’m not voting for President Barack Obama and the Democrats because I care about a government handout.
I’m voting for them because I care about OTHER people.
I care that their children go to good schools and drink clean water. I care that we don’t turn our planet into a toxic mess. I care that those who become ill don’t lose their homes after their health insurer denies coverage. I care that corporations like Bain Capital don’t rob workers of their jobs and then call those workers deadbeats.
I care that every American has the opportunity to earn the kind of success that matches their potential.
And because I care, I support Tenth Dems. I want to make sure that the candidates who care as I do will get elected. Join me by clicking here to contribute to the Tenth Dems.
Gov. Romney believes Americans who don’t support him are lazy, self-absorbed freeloaders. Let’s demonstrate how wrong he is.
Stand with Tenth Dems today and together we can show Mitt Romney what it looks like when Democrats take personal responsibility for protecting the values and ideals we share for our country.

Eleonora's comments seem to me to be a typical twisting of words and out of context comments by a dyed in the wool democrat. Mitt Romney was addressing the 47% of Americans who do not pay taxes and who believe that Government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That - that's an entitlement. They think the government should give it to them and they will vote for this President no matter what. These are people who pay no income tax. It sounds like Eleonora and her husband pay taxes and they are not who Governor Romney is talking about.
