Yesterday, during a phone call with campaign donors, Mitt Romney opined on the key to Barack Obama’s reelection; essentially, irresistible free stuff ~

What the president, president’s campaign did, was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote.
 
With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift.
 
Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women.
 
And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents’ plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008.
 
You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year, being told you’re now going to get free health care, particularly if you don’t have it, getting free health care worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity, I mean, this is huge.
 
Likewise with Hispanic voters, free health care was a big plus. But in addition with regards to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids, was a huge plus for that voting group.

 
Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, speaking at the Republican Governors Association conference in Las Vegas, took exception to Romney’s assessment:

“I absolutely reject that notion,” Jindal, who was a surrogate for Romney’s campaign, said at the Republican Governors Association conference in Las Vegas. “I think that’s absolutely wrong.
…in order for the GOP to be “competitive,it has to “go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote.

 
How? By buying votes?
 
Not sure who Bob’s surveyed lately. Romney’s remarks seem to ring awfully true to me.
 
A teacher in Rockhill, SC allegedly posted this comment on Facebook after the election (an ill-advised action considering her position as an educator – she’s currently facing “investigation” – but that doesn’t make her remarks any less relevant):

“Congrats Obama. As one of my students sang down the hallway, ‘We get to keep our food stamps’ … which I pay for because they can’t budget their money … and really, neither can you.”

 
Message to Bobby, and all other like-minded GOP members: Obama has pushed us past the tipping point; right now there are more takers than makers.
 
And we need to stop buying into the Left’s class warfare. Liberty and prosperity are concepts that should appeal to all demographics. Don’t pander – educate!
