何か知らんが、米国大統領選挙で米国共和党から出馬するミット・ロムニー（Mitt ROMNEY）氏が、Barack OBAMA（Barack OBAMA）大統領の支持者を dis る発言をしてた模様。

大統領候補者へのネガティブキャンペーンなら良くあるけど、支持者を dis るのはあんま聞いたことがない俺。

【ワシントン時事】
「米国民の４７％を占める非納税者は、何があってもオバマ大統領を支持する。彼らを気に掛けるのは私の仕事ではない」。
共和党のロムニー大統領候補がこんな発言をしていたことが明らかになり、物議を醸している。
億万長者として知られる同氏だけに、対立陣営に肩入れする低所得者は切り捨てるとばかりの「失言」は打撃となりそうだ。
リベラル系の「マザー・ジョーンズ」誌が１７日、隠し撮りしたロムニー氏の演説の映像をウェブサイト上に公開したのが発端。
同誌は、高所得者を対象とする非公開の資金集め会合で問題の発言が飛び出したと報じた。
ブルッキングス研究所の調査によると、米国民の４６．４％は所得税を納めていない。
これを念頭に置いたとみられるロムニー氏は映像の中で、「国民の４７％は政府に依存し、自分を犠牲者だと信じ、政府が面倒を見るのは義務だと思っている」と指摘。
自身が公約した減税とは無縁であり、その生活に注意を払う考えはないと語った。

問題の発言は、4年前の大統領選挙で OBAMA大統領に投票した人達を ROMNEY 氏側にどう取り込むかを論じた部分でのことっぺぇ。

（中略）
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.
My job is is not to worry about those people.
I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
What I have to is convince the five to ten percent in the center that are independents that are thoughtful, that look at voting one way or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not.

確かに、有権者の53% から得票をもらえれば大統領選挙に勝てるだろうけど・・・。
この文脈だと、ROMNEY 氏が他の 47%の有権者を馬鹿にしてるって思われても仕方ないんじゃ？
あるいは、OBAMA 大統領の「失政」っぷりを有権者に伝えるのを放棄してるとも言えるか。
ROMNEY 氏にとっては、随分余裕の選挙戦なんだろうね～（棒）
・・・その後、ROMNEY 氏はもう少し真面目に 5%～10%の有権者をどう取り込むかについて話していた。

（中略）
Asked why he wouldn't go full-throttle and assail Obama as corrupt, Romney explained the internal thinking of his campaign and revealed that he and his aides, in response to focus-group studies conducted by his consultants, were hesitant to hammer the president too hard out of fear of alienating independents who voted for Obama in 2008:
We speak with voters across the country about their perceptions.
Those people I told you—the 5 to 6 or 7 percent that we have to bring onto our side—they all voted for Barack Obama four years ago.
So, and by the way, when you say to them, "Do you think Barack Obama is a failure?" they overwhelmingly say no.
They like him.
But when you say, "Are you disappointed that his policies haven't worked?" they say yes.
And because they voted for him, they don't want to be told that they were wrong, that he's a bad guy, that he did bad things, that he's corrupt.
Those people that we have to get, they want to believe they did the right thing, but he just wasn't up to the task.
They love the phrase that he's "over his head."
But if we're—but we, but you see, you and I, we spend our day with Republicans.
We spend our days with people who agree with us.
And these people are people who voted for him and don't agree with us.
And so the things that animate us are not the things that animate them.
And the best success I have at speaking with those people is saying, you know, the president has been a disappointment.
He told you he'd keep unemployment below 8 percent.
Hasn't been below eight percent since.
Fifty percent of kids coming out of school can't get a job.
Fifty percent.
Fifty percent of the kids in high school in our 50 largest cities won't graduate from high school.
What're they gonna do?
These are the kinds of things that I can say to that audience that they nod their head and say, "Yeah, I think you're right."
What he's going to do, by the way, is try and vilify me as someone who's been successful, or who's, you know, closed businesses or laid people off, and is an evil bad guy.
And that may work.
(Note: Obama did not promise his policies would keep unemployment under 8 percent, and 50 percent of college graduates are not unemployed.)

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney did not back down from comments published Monday in Mother Jones magazine, in which he dismissed supporters of President Obama as a “victims” who take no responsibility for their livelihoods and who think they are entitled to government handouts.
“It’s not elegantly stated…I’m speaking off the cuff in response to a question,” Romney told reporters Monday night in Costa Mesa, Calif.
Asked what assurances he could give to voters that he doesn’t say different things behind closed doors to his donors than he does at his public rallies, Romney said he gives “the same message” to all audiences.
“We have a very different approach, the president and I, between a government dominated society and a society driven by free people pursuing their dreams,” Romney said.
