Who's not paying income taxes, and where Romney went wrong, from Daniel Mitchell on Townhall.com : "Yes, we have almost half of households not paying federal income tax, and I recognize that there’s a risk on an unhealthy political dynamic if people begin to think they get government for free, but those people are not necessarily looking for freebies from government. Far from it. Many of them have private sector jobs and believe in self reliance and individual responsibility. Or they’re students, retirees, or others who don’t happen to have enough income to pay taxes, but definitely don’t see themselves as wards of the state. If Romney wanted to be more accurate, he should have cited the share of households receiving goodies from the government."

From TownHall.com, which Obama fans certainly would not consider a decent source, this is quite reasonable, indeed. It isn't sweet on Obama, but it isn't letting Romney off for his secretly recorded bumbling, either.
This is far from a deal-breaker on Romney. Not if fairness has anything to do with it.
