Romney Supporters Ready To Blame Government Moochers If Obama Wins

If President Obama wins re-election on Tuesday, retired Army Colonel Allen Wild knows exactly who blame: “the 47 percent.” Not the leaked video of Republican nominee Mitt Romney claiming that 47 percent of Americans will vote for Obama because they are dependent on government.

“The takers,” Wild explained to TPM at a Romney rally on the final day of the campaign Monday here at George Mason University. “Those who pay no income tax.”

Wild, like many other Romney supporters who turned out see the former governor, was optimistic that Romney will be the next president. The crowd, which filled George Mason’s Patriot Center while thousands more waited in a spill-over area outside, responded to Romney’s stump speech with thunderous applause.
