After officially accepting his party’s presidential nomination, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was secretly recorded in a video secured by news magazine Mother Jones at a fund-raising event.

While there, Romney talked with well-heeled campaign donors about voters who support President Barack Obama:

“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.”

Romney then added:

“[M]y job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”We really shouldn’t be surprised by the new video showing the GOP candidate disparage “those people” and suggesting that, if his father was Mexican, he’d be ahead in the polls. But, in this new age of technology and high-tech snooping devices, one would think Romney would exercise more caution. But, as we all know, it is often too difficult to suppress one’s true feelings, especially among friends.

In this case, his deep pocket campaign donors. In the video, Romney reveals what he truly feels about “those people” he “tried” to woo at a recent NAACP convention and millions of other Americans with whom he struggles to strike a chord.
