What percentage of the 53% percenters will vote for Obama?

If all 47% of those who don't pay Federal Income tax are voting for Obama already (according to Romney) how many of those who do pay taxes does he expect to vote for Obama? None? Seems a little idealistic, don't you think? Does he really divide us up that way?

    The spirit of Romney's soapbox was sound, if facts were way off. Maybe he just woke up from a nap or something. There are three percentages that were being freely intermingled there.

    1) 30-35% of people will vote Democrat no matter what. To be fair, 30% or so of people will vote Republican no matter what.

    2) 53% of people get some sort of financial support from government.

    3) 47% of Americans do not pay federal income tax

    Romney's talks was really aimed at the 30%. ALL politicians "ignore" the elements of the campaign they won't effect. They don't have the time, resources nor money to "convert the non-believers".

    The 47% includes minors, who are too young to vote. The answer to your question is speculative.

    I think you might be retarded because you are defending Obama.
