No. Reason: It's kind of true.

Compared to Romney's 47% comment which was disputable.

LOL, something can be "kind of true" and disputable...?  Even if you don't like the classist or dismissive undertones, Romney's comment was 100% factual.

No, after the first few words, it definitely wasn't.

Fair enough, I guess I just went off my memory of it, being 47% of people are dependent on a larger federal government that's more involved in the economy, which would include pretty much all government employees (which, for all intents and purposes includes public university staff, university nurses and others) and anyone on welfare/government income, too.  A lot of those people vote Republican, but I took Romney's point to mean that those of us wanting a more private-sector-friendly economy have an uphill battle.
