Another Mother Jones Fundraiser Tape Released

From Mother Jones - lots and lots of audio at the link:
Romney to Business Crowd: Obama Sees You As an "Evil"
Ever since I revealed Mitt Romney's 47 percent rant, tips and tapes have come through the transom—including this and this. And another source who asked not to be identified just sent me an audio recording of a private Mitt Romney fundraiser from earlier this year. At this event, Romney didn't decry half of the nation, but he and Ann Romney each expressed disdain for President Barack Obama, with the Republican presidential candidate asserting that Obama considers businesspeople "a necessary evil" and his wife suggesting that the president was not a "grown-up."
On March 27, as Romney was still fighting for the Republican presidential nomination, he and Ann attended a fundraiser in Irvine, California, at the home of Michelle and David Horowitz, a former cement business owner who runs a private equity fund. The $1,000-per-plate outdoors luncheon (or $2,500 for those wanting to participate in a photo reception with Romney) drew much of Orange County's Republican elite.

from Raw Story:
Secret audio puts Mitt and Ann Romney’s ‘favorite family story’ in question
We may now know why Mitt and Ann Romney have been so reluctant to appear on late night talk shows.
In secretly recorded audio published Monday by Mother Jones, taken from a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser the couple attended in March, Mitt strangely contradicts a tale he and his wife have been telling since 2008, reported to be a “favorite family story” of the Romneys.
Speaking to supporters at the Irvine, California home of private equity fund owner David Horowitz, Romney responded to remarks about Ann when he explained:
However, Romney’s claim about Ann’s never-gonna-question-it resolve appears to contradict what the couple has been telling audiences since 2008 — the most recent instance of which came during an interview Ann sat for last month with NBC host Jay Leno.
“Four years ago I made a video tape,” Ann told Leno. “On the video tape, I looked into the camera and I said, ‘Mitt, this is for you, sweetheart. I’m never doing this again,’ I showed it to him and he looked at it and he said, ‘You know, Ann, you say that after ever pregnancy.’ Which is true.”
It’s not the first time Ann has recounted that pivotal decision, either. The Los Angeles Times described the tale in August as a “favorite family story” for the couple, quoting her saying virtually the same thing she told Leno, and Mitt responding in the affirmative.

"David, you mentioned Ann, and the fact that she insisted that I get in this race. That is the truth. I wanted to talk it over with her. And every time I’d say, ‘Let’s talk about the pros and cons,’ she’d say, ‘Talk to the hand, talk to the hand. We’re just doing this. We’ve got to do it.’ And so she absolutely insisted that I get in this because she was convinced that I was the only one that had the capacity to beat President Obama and then to get the country on the right track."

The RepubliSuckers have no idea who the HELL they are in bed with...
not surprised at anything Mitt or Ms Ann does or says. I think he knows he's losing so bad that with his desire to be on the winning team he will go in the voting booth and Vote for President Obama. Then after the election he will say how he was always behind this President despite their fundamental differences on policies.
