Joe Walsh.

Tea party-backed congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL), who is accused of failing to pay child support, recently said that Mitt Romney was right to insult 47 percent of Americans because “we have too many people in the wagon and not enough people pulling the wagon.”

And Bay Buchanan.

“What he was saying is the 47 percent is going to be voting – this is what it looks like – solid base of the president. Included in those people are people who are going to have a hard time reaching. There’s people who are dependent on government, some believe and feel they’re owed something by government and many of them don’t pay income tax, and my message doesn’t work for them. That’s all he was saying."

And Jim Geraghty.

Folks in the media are asking, “How could he say this?” Folks on the Right, who see a growing dependency mentality sucking away the nation’s drive, work ethic, and independence, are asking, “How could he say this only behind closed doors? “

As Erick Erickson wrote,

Conservatives Agree: Romney’s Right

Whoops.

This is what happens when you just reflexively defend everything your candidate says, no matter how offensive and stupid.

Keep it up, morans.
