The types of people Romney SHOULD have been winning more of would not have been offended by such a true quote.
He suggested that anyone on any kind of government support supported Obama, which is perhaps the falsest statement to come from any modern presidential nominee.
That part was definitely false. I was more thinking of the fact that 47% of the country does, in fact, benefit from a more socialized economy, increased government control, etc., and - whether those people were solidly for Obama as one might naturally expect or solidly for Romney for social/cultural/whatever reasons - they were not the voters he needed to spend his time speaking to, quite frankly, because they weren't going to be convinced either way. And that's true.
An overwhelming majority of Americans "benefit from a more socialized economy". If Romney had only won the votes of those who didn't, he'd have got 3% at most.
