Romney: Palestinians do not want peace

[Gerald]

A video clip emerges showing the Republican US presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, saying that Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel.

A secret recording of US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been released in which he appears to condemn millions of Americans who cannot provide for themselves.

The recording, made in May at a Florida fund raising dinner, was released on the internet by the Mother Jones website which has a liberal perspective on US politics.

After it became public Mr Romney organised a press briefing in which he described his remarks as "inelegant" but he did not retract the points he had made.

Uh, where's the part about the Palestinians? He never mentions them.

bad link?

Well, it's not in the video, the article, or the expanded article that it links to.

According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, about 46% of Americans paid no income tax in 2011. However, nearly two-thirds of households that don't pay income tax pay payroll taxes. Of the people who don't pay income or payroll taxes, more than half are elderly.

Mr. Romney would do better than to disparage one of his larger voting blocs if he wants to have a chance in this race.

There you go. Without that, your headline and your article don't match.
