The main stream media is trying to destroy Romney by using his comments about 47% of the people not paying taxes and expecting the other 53% to pay for the social welfare state.
It hasn't worked. Romney has been unaffected by the attack. Rasmussen still shows Romney ahead in the national polls, 47% to 46%.
