    Wow! Well isn't that just something! I recall all the whiny liberals scrambling to try to prove that BREITBART LIED BREITBART LIED....so I just know that they will certainly be appalled that the tape posted on Mother Jones was edited....right? Right? Let's hear it!

    IS THE SECRET VIDEO OF ROMNEY AT FUNDRAISER REALLY UNEDITED? WE MAY HAVE PROOF OTHERWISE

    Tuesday afternoon, the site Mother Jones released what was described as the “full,“ ”raw and uncut” video of Mitt Romney’s comments at a private campaign fundraiser, which has drawn immense criticism from both sides. The “uncut” videos leave out a critical portion of the speech, as Romney was beginning to explain his now infamous “47 percent” remarks, and pick up in an altogether different location.

    Mother Jones released the two “full” videos of Romney with great fanfare. The site states:

    “Romney is not the only one who has called for the release of the full 49-minute video. And we’re more than happy to oblige. The complete video demonstrates that Romney was not snippetized and that he was captured raw and uncut. Here it is, in two parts”

    However, one simply has to watch the videos back to back to see that there is clearly no natural link between them. Below is our video, showing the final ten seconds of the first film and the first ten seconds of the last. These videos were captured directly as they are on the Mother Jones website.

    The video transcribed would read:

    [Romney]“We do all these polls — I find it amazing. We poll all these people to see where you stand in the polls but 45 percent of the people vote for the Republicans and 48 or 49–,”

    This is where the first part of the video cuts out.

    Part two picks up seemingly on a completely different subject: China.

    “…about twice as much as China, not 10 times as much like is reported. And we have responsibility for the whole world, they’re only focused on one little area of the world, the south china sea…”

    The topics nor the pick up points in the sentence are the same in the two videos. Romney himself claimed this video was edited and called for “the person who has the video would put out the full material.”

    Mother Jones writes that the cries of selectively editing were “not true” and that Romney’s comments ”were shown in full.”

    It should be noted that the clear discrepancy doesn’t necessarily mean Mother Jones intentionally left parts of the videos out. Perhaps the person recording the video stopped recording at one point and picked back up when Romney was talking about China — without the full context, we can’t be certain.

    However, it seems reasonable to ask, why did the video cut out at such a crucial part? Where is the missing video? And why is this being advertised as the “uncut” footage?

    Below are the first and second videos Mother Jones is touting as “full”:

    Was the part about Romney pretending he was Ahmadinejad calling for a Hezbollah nuclear dirty-bomb to be planted in Chicago a fake ?

    It's obviously missing some of Romney's comments, but it doesn't matter. Mission accomplished, the tape is out there providing fresh blood for the media sharks.

    It's a Lib conspiracy ...

    Showing what Romney really is ... a person sterilized from humanity where only money exists ... or mormonism ...

    Mitt & Ann are exactly like the Vonage commercial ... *We all Bundle !* ... while holding a puppy upright so it can't breathe.

    You fake, like with the open borders that idea is not already a possibility?

    The idea of circumventing the building of long range missles by sending long range immigrants to enter the USA as easily as the drug dealers seems way cheaper, quicker, and do-able, doesn't it?

    It is kind of hard to take the high road when your arguement is that liberals suck just as bad as conservatives.

    Yeah...

    America can easily expand the Welfare System that now costs as much as the Military Budget, ($600 Billiuon dollars).

    But it should also expand the police force, too, because 70% of all violent crime in America is caused by people raised inSingle Mother Families:

    You are not actually surprised are you? Cheating and lying are leftist Obama voting staples.

    Only Obama voters would find some tid-bit of relevance in this meaningless string of words, the rest of us, not so much.

    Maybe you should draw another conclusion from your lovely chart?

    As wages for the 1% have skyrocketed due to off shoring of jobs, the destruction of unionized labor and massive tax cuts for the rich, wages for the middle and lower classes have been stagnant at best.

    This correlates to the increased use of welfare, because more people need the assistance just to survive at the walmart level pay they are getting.

    Want to correct this and get people off of welfare?

    Stop outsourcing manufacturing.

    Stop giving obscene tax cuts to those who do NOT need them.

    Stop trying to demolish the ability of workers to stand up for themselves and organize.

    The real crooks are at the top, along with their bought and paid for politicians.

    It makes perfect sense. mother jones, like media matters, gets part of their funding from george soros. So, just like mm, they probably get their marching orders straight from holder's DOJ.
    Soros made his fortune by destabilizing the economies of entire nations. So, he has a vested interest in keeping obama and the democrats in power and destroying our economy.

    That is true. But re-electing Obama's pandering cronie capitalist ass will not fix that.

    Your entire rhetoric and on a daily basis is that of a maoist waving-around a little red-book foaming in todays' conservative single-line ideologues as a meaningless second language of conservatism ...
    (tea party zombie)

    Like Romney & Ryan.

    Considering how many lies Ryan, Romney and many other have been spewing, that's pretty much the pot calling the kettle black.

    I've found lies on both sides, or at a minimum truths that were stretched, but Team Romney is definitely in the lead for liar of the year.

    You clearly do not know Maoist rhetoric, not to mention the context or meaning of what Maoist ideology is, to say such monsterously ignorent thing, but then again, Obama voting leftists are a screwy bunch.

    You mean the alleged lies the left wing media portrays them as don't you? They are trying to set a narrative and I see you are easy to mold.

    OK, just say you are not paying attention, instead of forcing me to deduce it on my own. I'm a busy man...

    It is uncut as it exist.

    The person who created the video turned it off and on during the speech which was a closed event, no one else bothered to record it. Moreover the person who took the footage is or was a Romney supporter, they took the video because they were excited to be in the same room with a presidential candidate, not out of an intent to trap or misconstrue the intent of the speech.

    I think most of the conservatives on this forum would be proud of the speech as shown, he reflects their values admirably.

    First off .. the numbers are off. Total Military spending (as of 2009) was 1 Trillion. Welfare was 360 Billion but this includes unemployment and other manditory items. Unemployment pays for itself so this does not really count.

    A large percentage of the budget is in administration of these programs. (Meaning .. we could cut welfare payments to zero and it would not save us that much unless we fired all the administration)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_United_States_federal_budget

    Now if we keep these programs .. which we will.. banning abortion and contraception is only going to increase the number of welfare recipients.

    Cops do not go into the "ghetto"s anyway - to dangerous- so we do not need to increase police forces as it will make no difference.

    I happen to agree with you on that standpoint, however, he's less in bed with big business than Romney is. Romney is a key proponent of destroying anything made in America. His "experience" from Bain is enough to convince me he is the lesser of two evils this election cycle.

    I could live with many people other than Obama or Romney as president, but they never seem to make it past the nomination cycle.

    The same can be said of many on the Right as well, but when I look at what some of the fact check sites state, and then research them myself, I find much more dishonesty on the Romney side.

    You should read a book called "Who rules America", then you would know that what you just said is illusion. You do not think that Obama is not in bed with big business? These people bet on both sides and win no matter who wins the election.
