Romney to Far Left Heckler: If You’re Looking For Free Stuff, Vote Obama
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:58 AM
Governor Mitt Romney told a heckler yesterday, “If you’re looking for free stuff, vote Obama.”
MRCTV has the video:
FOX Nation has this on the confrontation:
A woman in Peoria, Illinois stood up to let Mitt Romney know she wants free birth control. Romney responds by telling her to ‘vote for the other guy’ if she’s looking for ‘free stuff’.
Woman: “So you’re all for like, ‘yay, freedom,’ and all this stuff. And ‘yay, like pursuit of happiness.’ You know what would make me happy? Free birth control.”
Romney:” “You know, let me tell you, no no, look, look let me tell you something. If you’re looking for free stuff you don’t have to pay for, vote for the other guy. That’s what he’s all about, okay? That’s not, that’s not what I’m about.”
That was smooth.
Mitt gets a little better all of the time.

Yeah, that’s a little bit better! It’s a little more of what we’re looking for.

What a sad life if free birth control is what will make her happy.
Liz commented:
Mitt’s always been good. Just now this media is reporting it. Go Mitt. You have the skills, baby.
NeoKong commented:
There is no such thing as “free” birth control.
Pragmatic commented:
Hey Mitt: explain Romneycare to us . . .
Mitt is a Democrat . . .neither he nor Obama will get my vote.
Smooth is NOT what we need . . .we need warriors who are willing to fight for our Constitutional freedoms . . ..Mitt isn’t cutting it . . .not by a long shot.

I say give ALL the Libs and Progressive FREE birth control. In 1 generation, presto, no more liberals.

Liz:
Mitt has always been good? Good for what?
MoreLiberty commented:
Great rhetoric, but his history is one of a liberal – although not as liberal as Obama.
ant commented:
Wow, the woman’s a genius… “and ‘yay, pursuit of happiness’ Know what would make me happy? Free birth control.” Well, at least she has her priorities straight/sarc. Note to stupid b*tch…you are free to ‘pursue happiness’ and free to do so without interference from government and petty bureacrat tyrants…at least that was the idea. How twisted that the left thinks that even their pursuit of happiness can only be achieved by government intervention. Sick, demented people.
Highlander commented:
The truth is, there’s no such thing as free stuff. I would have liked Mitt’s retort even better had he mentioned that myth. As it is, there are millions of people who will vote for Obama precisely because he promises them free stuff – and for no other reason.
StrangernFiction commented:
Did he apologize for being offensive?
Callipygian1 commented:
“The pursuit of happiness” is one thing; “Chill until happiness comes to find me” is something altogether different… the former, you have to pursue. The latter Obama provides to the least deserving.

“I say give ALL the Libs and Progressive FREE birth control. In 1 generation, presto, no more liberals.”
Nope. They’ll just recruit your kids.
Rev. Wright ain't right upstairs commented:
Sadly. The heckler was staged by the Romney campaign.
Still good for a canned exchange.
Jennifer commented:
I would have liked to see him ask her a series of questions such as you know that government has no resources of its very own, and that to give one American a dollar government must first confiscate it from some other American? What moral principle justifies forcing a total stranger to pay for your birth control? Instead of coming to me, why don’t you knock on your neighbor’s door and ask him or her to buy your birth control?
Redwine commented:
“If you’re looking for free stuff you don’t have to pay for, vote for the other guy.”
This is a poor response. Comrade Barry is not giving away “free stuff”. We are paying for it. He’s stealing our money to fund entitlements, cronies, and pet projects that launder money for his ideologically invested interests.
lily commented:
Free “stull” isn’t free. You’re asking for the government to force your neighbors to pay for your stuff. Looters.
dunce commented:
He might have said, i came here to solicit votes from republicans and these people came here to listen to me. I do not believe that you are a republican and these people did not come here to listen to your solicitation so i will thank you if you take your vagina and solicit someplace else.
Dave-O commented:
#5 – you are just what the libtards are hoping for. Sitting at home on election day is the only way that Obama can win re-election. I am a tea party member and Romney isn’t my first (or second) choice. But Sarah Palin isn’t running and I’ll go out and work my butt off for whoever the Republicans end up nominating since my Second Amendment rights aren’t worth “sacrificing” on the grounds of “principle” – they are simply too important to me.

Anybody else notice a bunch of drive-by postings alleging “it’s not true” or some such, with no cite?
