And go for yeah absolutely -- There's no doubt that this has been a thorn in the Romney -- side of the past 48 hours.

But thanks to the mainstream media -- -- -- media but the truth is he can turn the situation into an opportunity because the debate about.

Our increased reliance on the government from her food stamps for welfare.

You know 49% of the people get some form of a government handout.

We need to have this debate mean it's a chance -- Romney to draw a line in the sand.

They're not -- you know people getting Social Security that are in that 47 of our nightly they were not just you know there are doing them in there are no programs -- it.

-- I agree but what I'm saying is when you throw them in there those are votes he could've gotten they're gonna.

CB can stop and -- stood it's not handouts I mean that there are people you -- eighteen.

And there wasn't -- -- -- of certain people that don't pay federal income taxes that.

Could be conservative that would both from the bombing I still bleeding get those votes -- every he should talk about people being on the government dole.

And what he wants to do to help him get hot it got off the -- actually is it's not -- veterans it's not about Social Security now certainly it's about the 46 million people who are on food stamps.

And of course those are people that we could win for both of mean.

Ask anyone -- I'm sure they'd prefer paycheck where a little -- up around.

Not if you're saying you won't take personal responsibly a lot of those people working their rear ends off trying to make it that's what and it's as.

It talks about it that's the -- does what he says it doesn't Romney shop retool their message on this or -- they wait until the debate so I would I would I would I would re not retool it but to read the language is he Yasser -- language and understand the argument in the argument is one.

They could work could very well we're work but it's gonna backfire on him if he keeps do in the handout and on the take all right out.
