Scott Walker Was 'Jarred' By Mitt Romney's 47 Percent Comments

[Crabtownboy]

The GOP needs to listen to its more rational politicians.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Thursday he was "jarred" by former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's infamous comments about poor Americans and the "47 percent." Walker, who is potentially mounting his own bid for president in 2016, told a conservative audience that in order to broaden its appeal, the Republican Party desperately needs to change its outlook toward those living in poverty and relying on government assistance.

"Most people in my state who are temporarily living in poverty, who are temporarily dependent on the government, don't want to be. It's not something they aspire to," Walker said during a panel at the American Enterprise Institute.
