ROMNEY: Most Americans are "small-minded"

Romney says 63% of voters are 'small-minded'

63% of Americans Demand That Mitt Romney Release His Tax Returns

MITT:

The fascination with taxes I've paid I find to be very small-minded compared to the broad issues we face. bla bla bla...


Insulting the voters isn't helping his case.

But then again, his entire campaign is now focused on his party's 37 percent fringe, so perhaps he thinks it is.

I can't stand this lying that goes on over a kos in headlines about what Romney says. This is hardly the first time.

there's an op and poll currently in gd asking if repubs actually believe the lies they're told. I answered that many people want to believe the lies they're told. this is a good example.

Yes, according to most Americans, Romney should release more taxes. Yes, he said that the fascination with his taxes is small minded compared to the big issues. But to extrapolate from that that he said that most Americans are small minded, is transparent, stupid, political lying that sadly many will agree with because it fits with what they want.
