I don't recall him (or any other Republican) advocating a revocation of assistance.

Republicans reformed, but did not destroy, welfare. Food stamps, public housing, Medicaid - it's all there and no one is talking about getting rid of it. Romney's point is simply that the people who look to the government for more help won't vote for him anyway, and he's right.
The statement that government should "never help" is not one espoused by either political party.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Actually, there was one other Obama "entitlement:" He gave out a lot of small business loans.

It's valid to argue about the number (and everyone is), but Romney's basic point is valid.
