Stephanopoulos to RNC Chair: Is Romney ‘In Denial’ Over the State of His Campaign?

George Stephanopoulos to Reince Priebus: Is Romney Campaign in Denial Over 47% Video, Presidential Race?

(Photo: ABC)

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus appeared on ABC with George Stephanopoulos Sunday to discuss the state of the U.S. presidential race– and the “secret” video of Mitt Romney discussing the “47%” of Americans unlikely to vote for him.

The video, which also includes a discussion of the Federal Reserve, has been interpreted by many as an admission that Mitt Romney does not care about the poor.

Discussing those who do not pay income taxes, the Republican nominee said: “There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what…There are 47% 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…[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.”

Speaking with RNC Chair Reince Priebus, Stephanopoulos said voters will be hearing about the video “every single day” until the election, and that the Romney campaign may be in “denial” over the state of the race.

Watch the interview, via Mediaite, below:

Priebus said the past week has been “defining” for both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, as the two crystallize around their central issues.

Without mentioning the crisis sweeping the Middle East and parts of Europe, Priebus said: “What kind of future do we want for our kids and grand kids? … Do we want the cradle-to-grave, ‘life of Julia,’ ObamaCare, we’ll take care of you from preschool to death America?  Or do we want [a] return [to] opportunity, liberty, freedom…?”

Soon after, Stephanopoulos read a number of comments from Peggy Noonan at the Wall Street Journal in which she ripped Mitt Romney as “incompetent,” “too small for the moment,” and a “rolling calamity.”

“I know that Gov. Romney says his campaign doesn’t need a turnaround, but is he in denial?” Stephanopoulos asked.

While Priebus said he respects and admires those who are concerned about the Romney campaign, he was clear that the Republican is running “a different kind of campaign.”

Priebus explained: “I promise you on my life, I’m not sitting here talking to you because I’m worried about the future of the Republican Party…we’re worried about the future of this country.”

    All we need to do to win is this…  
    A one minute campaign commercial that starts off showing Obama teamed up with ACORN back in the 90s charging banks with racism and threatening to boycott unless they reduce their lending standards and begin lending to lower income and minorities who would otherwise not qualify for a mortgage under the 20 percent down and good credit requirement.  Then show their hero Bill Clinton amending the Community Reinvestment Act in 99 forcing banks to lend to this group.  The next scene will be of the republicans warning fat face Barney Frank, Frank Reins, that raciest Waters, and the other dummy democrats that this will be big trouble and could lead to a financial crisis.  Then show modern day Obama as president blaming Bush and deregulation as the cause of the current state of the economy.  Obama is so tied into the mortgage meltdown, the people need to know this.

      This complete stupid jerk has some nerve. He is so in the tank for o-loser, just like Diane Sawyer and the rest of the slugs (sorry slugs). Yea….how was the campaign you were in with Bill-bj-cigar-Clinton? Oh, yea, that was Bill being Bill. Why sure….give the pervert a pass…even when he lies under oath before all of the American People. Romney tells the truth and he is told his campaign is dead, over, lost, out of it, on and on and on. Wow! Do we have our work cut out for us….cause the drones out there believe all that crap-o-la they heard at the dem convention. Even if the drones didn’t watch the lying convention, they will still believe anything the loser dems tell them. Anyone who wants to even think about taking God out of the dem platform and not having Jerusalem the capitol of Israel is totally evil. We all know who was the leader in leaving God out. It all started with o-loser. Then o-loser gave his arrogant nod to have them vote God back.in. Wow! I bet that made God’s day.

      Said Very Well. Barney/Dodd’s legislation that created the housing bubble is widely proven and shown. IN their stated opinion EVERYONE has the right to own the American Dream of ownership…..regardless of their ability to re-pay a mortgage. THEY are the ones that created “Stated Income and liar loans”, then dirivitives, selling throughtout the world. They, Barney then threatened> IF you DON’T lend to poor people….you will be fined by the regulating agencies. Create an enormous bubble…Property going up 10-20% per month….then pop it. 100% contrived, initiated and delivered by the pro gress ives. Then….of course blame the other guys. Here we are.

      Romney is not denial. He knows his campaign is tanking. He knows how poorly his recent statement have been received by the American voter. His attacks against the President are not working. The economy is improving, people still blame Bush for the Great Recession, and Romney continues to show that he’s the Draco Malfoy of the Republican party – he’s led a rich, privileged life and thinks that if someone doesn’t pay federal income tax (like our soldiers, our elderly, our poor) that they are moochers and inferior people. Half the United States are moochers in the Ayn Rand definition.

      Romney isn’t in denial, but he has yet to offer any reason to vote for him except he’s not President Obama.

      By the way, how is he going to cut taxes for the richest, increase military spending AND reduce the deficit? Where are the details “coming out our eyeballs” on that fantasy?

      You said it, the democrats are responsible for all the economic problems in this country! It all basically started with FDR, then Johnson and the great society – ever since people were taken care of by the government (so called big brother) they have become lazy and content with letting others foot the bill. What is really sad and scary is, the government has planned this all along. A lot of democrats were nieve thinking this was just to help people but they soon learned that buying votes wasn’t so bad – this has been growing election after election – the worse thing is some republicans fell into the extortion also! If you really want to know the plan read Clower & Piven. Their idea was to burden the government with so much debt that American could not sustain itself. I do believe we are at that point. The communist said they would bury us from within and they are succeeding!
      I find that the more that we fall away from God, the more our country looks like a forsaken 3rd world country. I wish American Christians would turn away from the evils of this world and turn to the one who gave us His Son Jesus so that we could have eternal life. I believe God also gave us America, a beautiful land and He then gave us FREEDOM from the blood and sacrifice of our Founding Fathers. II Cronicles 7:14

      Here’s how you win the Hispanic vote Mitt.
      Keep repeating how the Obama administration is responsible for deaths of thousands of Mexican’s inside Mexico from an illegal gun running operation carried out without the Mexican government’s knowledge.

      If the Romney campaign states the number of deaths at say, 20,000 the press might take notice. If not just keep increasing the number until they do. If you hit them with a big enough stick it’ll get they’re attention.

      Repeat the claim in your debates, on the campaign trail and in interviews, even if the topic isn’t brought up.

      (Example)
      Q. “So, what is your position on racists in the Republican Party Mr. Romney”.
      A. “I believe the Obama camp set out to disparage gun owners in this country and ended up causing the slaughter of ten’s of thousands of Mexicans in Mexico”. I’m not the one killing Mexican’s in Mexico, Barack Obama is.

      Q. “Taxes Mr. Romney”
      A. (repeat above statement)

      Q. “Gay marriage”
      A. (repeat)

Remember how the RINO zombies listened to the “chosen people” and then didn’t vote for Ron Paul (like wag the dog)? Well now the “chosen people” Marxist Media are going to tell everyone not to bother voting for Romney because he can’t win…..just like Ron Paul. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. The Marxist Media isn’t reporting the news, they are altering and creating the news. Thanks “chosen people.”

      How about the fact that unlike Obama, Romney actually has a record of creating jobs and solving economic problems? We’re in an economic crisis, who better to handle that than a business man? And a business man with a record of job creation?

      I really don’t get where you people come from saying, “How is he better than Obama?” Are you serious?! Have you looked around at all? How hard is it to understand this? Who’s really in denial here? Just the fact that he’s Romney and not Obama is more than enough for me. And let me be clear, I am not the biggest Romney fan, but he is by default better than Obama.

Or no where near the state of denial liberals are in over the unconstitutional executive orders and other actions like given waivers on tax increases,propping up campaign financers,and billions in literal bribs that this adminstration has engaged in. Basicly I would have spikes the ball when that statement was made.

In his meetings with Valerie Jarret, The Rev. al Sharpton, NAACp, Jessie Jackson and Van Jones he tell them wev’e got to do in them Honkies and get more money for the welfare checks.

It’s the job of the government to get out of the way so businesses can create jobs. Putting through another costly bill that increases our debt just to curry favor of some veterans does NOT help them in the long run. The debt will destroy the dollar and the economy if left unchecked. The Teabaggers are the party of “hate” you say? Well, the Democrats are the party of stupidity and denial over fiscal reality.

Even the Democrats won’t deny the numbers, they’ll just pretend they don’t matter when they do. You write: “More jobs will reduce the debt and government policies do create both private and public sector jobs.” More jobs *paid for* by the government do not reduce the debt! And you also backed up what I said when you mentioned “government policies.” I totally agree that “government policies” can help businesses create jobs. I disagree that more government SPENDING, which is what *you* want, creates jobs or reduces debt like you claim.

Also blame social security, medicare, and military retirement/benefits – since they makes up a lot of the tax imbalances

      Obama has NO RECORD, NO NEW IDEAS in any positive light to run on. All Romney did was tell the truth about the 47% of desperate dems that ARE freeloaders & pro socialist. All americans do not deserve to all be even. Some of us work harder than others. I don’t want anyone getting a fair share of my pie that I work for.

      Obamacare is the first major step in eliminating the ENTIRE middle class so he can become a prime minister/dictator.

      Obama’s lying media is in it for a seat at the table of the new world order oligarchy. Another 4 with this communist and america will be a bankrupt socialist nation with ZERO middle class. ALINSKY COMMUNIST PARTY TACTICS ALL THE WAY, DIVIDE & CONQUER.

      Everything Obama has done has wrecked the economy and made it more difficult to make a living.

Since when does the media think it is their job to fill the airwaves with their personal preferences? Where is the balance here? Did she say anything about the total failure in the White House today?

    It may be that the Democrats are very worried over the state of their own campaign to be so concerned about Romney’s campaign. If they were so confident they would not have to lie so continually and so obviously.

    There are Democrats who would vote for King Kong for President just because of party. There may be republicans like that too. Whatever happens, you need to know the Lord knows it and will do what he has to do to keep his own safe and free from the marauders. It may be time for his re-appearing in the rapture. Israel will not be taken off the face of the earth because the last days scenario says she is surrounded and God will intervene. It may be that we have to wait and see just what transpares there. I feel like those Islamists will strike if Israel does not before this election is lost by Obama because he is, at heart, at the very least one of them. We are living, in this country, in times like no other in recorded history. We may be the generation that is when the Rapture occurs. It truly has all the signs.

    Well, what do the mainstream media hope to accomplish by this tactic? Anyone with eyes and ears can see what they are trying so desperately to do. They’re only exposing themselves as lapdog leftists even further. This concerted effort to make people think that Romney isn’t running his campaign well, or that he is somehow failing, is a itself a failure. WE ALREADY KNOW WHO YOU SUPPORT, YOU JERKS, YOU’RE ONLY MAKING IT MORE OBVIOUS FOR THE FEW WHO MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT BEFORE.

    If you trust the likes of George Snuffaluffagus to tell you what your opinion is on a candidate’s campaign or message, then surely you’re already a dyed-in-the-wool DNC sheep and are hopeless anyway.

      That is karma. Welcome to how it works when you are going against an establishment candidate. You see, in the primary the media told all the republicans that it was ‘mitt romney’s primary’ and that his nomination was ‘inevitable’. They told everyone that supporting Gingrich, Santorum, Paul, etc was a losing proposition – thereby creating their own self-fullfilling prophecy.

      These are the media tricks the Romney campaign used in the primary – and now that tool is being used against them

    All of us know that all politicians seem to favor those who contribute to them. That is the nature of the beast, but in this case, we got to get Obama out and most of America knows that. Those who would not vote for America to stay strong will likely not vote any way. This is going to go to the wire, except the Democrats are going to cheat themselves into office if they can. They have invested too much to do what is right, the right way, for they are thugs and know if they lose they have a payday coming.

If Romney in too small for the moment then what do we call Obama? It’s obvious to anyone with a brain or the honesty to admit it that the president is a complete failure.

Nevermind that stupid video. You all know it, I know it and most everyone else knows it that there are those who will vote for Obama because they are duped into thinking they are going to get freebies. The percentage remains to be seen. Who really knows. I know people who have just enough to get by on who are voting for Romney because he is principaled and has had some raising. Obama is a thug.

    Are We Better Off Now Than We Were 4 Years Ago?

    1.) Unemployed Americans since President Obama took office……Up by almost half a million people
    2.) Unemployment rate is up by 3.8% since President Obama took office
    3.) Long term unemployment is up by 87% since Obama took office
    4.) Middle class income is down by $3,960.00
    5.) Gas prices up 107%
    6.) Home values down by 11% since Obama took office
    7.) Worker health insurance costs up 23% since Obama took office
    8.) Sending your kids to college since Obama was inaugurated….up 25%
    9.) Americans living in poverty increased by 6.4 million since Obama took office
    10.) Food stamp recipients increased by 46% since President Obama took office
    11.) Consumer price index (inflation) is up 9.1% since Obama took office
    12.) Federal debt is up 51% since Obama took office
    13.) The United States ranked #1 in Global Competitiveness the day Obama walked into office. Since his inauguration….we have declined to #7

    I wonder if these economic stats are of any importance to the American people. If the American people want 4 more years of a self inflicted ass whipping. More power to them.

Even the MSM is having a hard time of it, making Barry look good, to the point they are truely exposing themselves for the liers they have become. Barry’s been puffing on more exploding cigars, where he’s beginning to look like ‘Fireman Bill’ (Jim Carrey character in living color) at skit’s end.

I am still convinced that the ONLY issue that is basically on the minds of the voters is the 47%. I strongly believe that the folks that want to continue the free ride will vote for Obama and the rest of us folks who are sick and tired of supporting the 47% will vote for Romney. The end.

And for Biden to try to throw the men and women in harms way in Afganistan into the mix is shameful. He knows right well that Romney was not talking about them. Here is a warning to those of you that think entitlement programs are a great thing. Pretty soon those of us who bust our butts so others can abuse the system are just gonna quit and stay home also.

      It depends on what your definition is of the 47%. I am only going by the definition used in the statement by Mr. Romney. I don’t believe he was including the retired individuals on Social Security as “victims.” He is very clear in his statement as to what 47% he is talking about. Not all low income people are on the government payroll. Just the 47% that feel the government owe them something.

      The 47% that everyone refers to means someone receives more in benefits than they pay in taxes. That includes ALL benefits. If you take away social security and medicare, the number of people goes down to something like 30%.

I totally despise the media.
      As far as the 47%, we know Romney was only talking about those who rips the system as it is a way of life for them, we all know some of these people. He is not talking about those on SS or the real needy who are not gaming the system.

      opportunity means making it easier for businesses to make jobs , freedom means the government stays ot of our lives and business, liberty about the same as freedom. the biggest problem in this country is the lack of businesses to create jobs, jobs don’t just pop out of the air, unless you’re expanding government, jobs have to come from somewhere, cheaper corporate taxes,not giving millionaires more money but giving people the lowest overhead possible if not manufacturing and the production jobs go to mexico, india, china. the jobs don’t go there because the weather is better.not everyone can be a doctor lawyer or entertainer, we need good paying hardworking jobs , so the 18 year old coming out of high school who isn’t smart enough for college can make a living w/out government. and i was barely smart enough for college started working took me 10 years to make 40,000 a year without food stamps or welfare and a single father and want no help just like everyone else shouldn’t.
