Colorado Gov nominee Bob Beauprez (R) releases his own 47% video. No really. Video after the jump.
It’s not precisely the same as the original Mitt version. But it’s close. And in some ways goes in still new directions. The video appears to be from 2010. He generally describes the fat and happy poors among us who are “perfectly happy that somebody else is paying the bill and most of that half is you all.” “I submit to you that there is a political strategy to get slightly over half and have a permanent ruling majority by keeping over half of the population dependent on the largess of government that somebody else is paying for.”
To save your time, the relevant portion starts at about 5:30 into the video …
Beauprez served two terms in Congress (2003-2007) and made an unsuccessful bid for governor in 2006.
