I think how he handles this will either make or break him:
Romney Talks Bluntly of Those Dependent on Government
"Mitt Romney described almost half of Americans as “dependent upon government” during a private reception with donors this year and said those voters were likely to support President Obama because they believe they are “entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.”
He needs to stand by his words, they are truth. Show some guts, take on the media, and he will gain the respect of many more than he'd lose. They're tired of supporting them.

I agree.
But in so doing, Romney is somewhat like David facing Goliath since the mainstream media is already distorting the context and intent of what Romney said, and will further insure any Romney comments are negatively distorted.

Agreed.
He needs to double down on this. The Democrat support is predominantly those that are dependent and the morally corrupt.

This is actually an opportunity to hammer Obummbla.
"Its a sad day when nearly half of Americans pay no income tax and are dependent on the government for assistance. What does that tell you about the policies of the Obomma administration? It says FAILURE. Americans don't want poverty and charity. Americans want opportunity, freedom, self reliance, and a chance to better their lot in life. Not to be crushed by bad government policy and fed crumbs by the hand that smashed the American dream. Obumbla can brag about adding MILLIONS to the welfare roles, I will stand for freedom and opportunity."

"Americans want opportunity, freedom, self reliance, and a chance to better their lot in life." - Some do and some dont, Romney needs to concentrate on those DO want this.
I agree his message going forward will be the deciding factor.

The liberal media thinks what he said is a bad thing. What idiots!!!! In reality his words were nothing more than the truth, but the liberals are so bent on using any and everything to sway the undecided in their favor they will stoop to anything.
This country is going to hell in a handbasket!!! All I can say is be prepared for the worse. I don't know what it's going to take for the dumb arses to open their eyes.
