A Mitt Romney spokesperson offered an unusual counterattack Tuesday to an ad in which a laid-off steelworker blames the presumptive GOP nominee for his family losing health care: If that family had lived in Massachusetts, it would have been covered by the former governor’s universal health care law.
“To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care,” Andrea Saul, Romney’s campaign press secretary, said during an appearance on Fox News. “There are a lot of people losing their jobs and losing their health care in President [Barack] Obama’s economy.”

Somebody find him a big tub of crap to stand in so he doesn’t look like fool walking around looking for a pile to step in.

ROMNEYCARE: As Governor, Mitt Romney's Administration Promoted Issues Benefitting Transgenderism
ROMNEYCARE tax funded abortions:
This Andrea Saul, also supports climate change. I’m wondering if she is really a Democrat. She is really dangerous.
“Somebody find him a big tub of crap to stand in so he doesn’t look like fool walking around looking for a pile to step in.”
ya what you said... What a collection of morons this candidate and his campaign is...
When you have a candidate with no core conservative principles this is what you get
We are toast
What a moron! Why didn’t he point out that the guy’s wife wasn’t refused treatment, and WAS treated even though there was no insurance, and that under Obamacare, the guy would have to pay a fine to the IRS for being uninsured?
The GOP is dead. The sooner conservatives face up to that the sooner we can get about the business of saving the republic.
I am convinced there are democrat operatives running Mitt’s campaign. That or they are simpleton morons.
We shall proudly serve to provide as organ donors to Moslems and Congress
who will decide when, and if, we and our children, live.
BEHOLD the Happiest Moment in the GOP Candidate's life:
The Moment of Imposition of DEATH PANELS!!!!!!!!
RINO Romney: "Hey Felon, I bet you $10,0000
that I can snooker the GOP to adopt this moment
as their own ... while WE take the money."
I would expect such any time. Hear no evil speak no evil about Mitt, he is wonderful ya know...
All the “conservatives” who got in my face and sneered about how “Mitt is the only one who can beat Obama” - are you embarrassed yet?
I gave Romney money. I was going to again but just emailed them that I was not because of this stupidity and because Romney does not demand Obama’s college records, etc. I told them that Romney was essentially a “wimp”.
Anyone should be able to beat Obama but Romney gets accused of MURDER and he does not stand up mad as hell about it himself? This is McCain redux. I’m pi$$ed!
Republicans are definitely the STUPID PARTY! Get rid of the Socialists in your campaign, Mitt!!!!! NOW!!!
Mark
Just great (not). This about sums it up. (I’m starting to wonder if maybe Mitt’s success *wasn’t* luck. Because it sure isn’t looking like it was smarts or instinct.)
So, I wonder how her foot is healing after she shot it?
Nothing Lee snatching defeat from the claws of victory.
Mitt Romney - All the brains and half the charm of Joe Biden.
That’s “nothing like”
The touch screen needs some alignment still.. ...grr
Furthermore, after this guy was laid off from the steel mill, they were still covered by his wife’s health insurance
I’m afraid of it (though Joe’s no charmer. Unless you’re into slapstick) I swear I keep biting my lip & repeating ‘ Do no harm’ over & over- & I’ll be d*mned if he- or one of his elves, doesn’t pull something every few days. (I’m wondering, too, if these are the kind of people he’s chosen to run his campaign, what kind of clueless or arrogant...pick one or both, beings will he surround himself with as president?
This IS the Hillary wing of The Government Big”Bank”-InsuranceParty.
HillaryRomney.
Like I’ve been saying all along. Romney doesn’t have any problem with Obama’s socialism. He just thinks he can do socialism better.
“This Andrea Saul, also supports climate change. I’m wondering if she is really a Democrat. She is really dangerous.”
What, of any of this, did Romney not support at one time or another, depending circumstances.
Romney is a self proclaimed progressive. ( “I am a PROGRESSIVE on the issues”. ) There is not a conservative bone in his composition and even the fiscal proclivities are hardly proven.
What I am witnessing is not real.
They didn’t just come out in favor of big government health care, did they???
And gay boy scouts
and gun control
and gay couples
and gay adoption
This is your brain on drugs.
EV, Mitt is either trying to challenge Barry for the far left or he is trying to lose.
Am I leaving out another possibility?
I guess it’s possible he’s trying to win and thinks this is the way to do it.
I have seen enough of the detailed, in depth explanations and defenses of Romney from his supporters, that I can roughly quote them, they go something like this, “yeah, but he isn’t a Muslim”.
Yeah, Romney was the wrong guy to nominate for an election cycle in which nationalized medicine is a major issue.
I have no need for rectal reconstruction, my healthcare needs are nothing like what these folks ‘need’.
Ever wonder why Romney does not comment more on stupid crap that Obama says? Cuz Romney is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME... and neither is his worthless team.
Is this the spokesperson who came to Romney from McCain’s campaign? Ann Coulter, on Hannity moments ago said something to that effect.

Ann Coulter just said SAUL came over from the failed McCain campaign.
“Have you been told you are an Obama supporter yet?
I would expect such any time. Hear no evil speak no evil about Mitt, he is wonderful ya know...”
I’ve had to keep my mouth shut this entire campaign season for that very reason. Call out Romney’s BS and the fact that his history in elected office is damn near as left as Obama and you get tarred and feathered. I will not vote for this guy. He is going to lose anyway and I will have a clean conscience knowing I didn’t support a pro-abortion, gun-grabbing liberal. I don’t care what he says, I researched how he governed.

Let’s gear up for more house and senate seats in 2014 and get a real conservative on board in 2016. You watch, the second Romney loses and is done with his political life, his real views will start to trickle out in the press.
Romney has run a God awful campaign so far. It is like nobody seems to know what they are doing. The election is what-—90 days away? The polls have been the same for 8 months. He should be up by 7-8 points yet he is down by 3-4. There has been no change in the numbers, What the hell is going on?
I don’t get why all of you guys act like this is new. Mittens has been, throughout the entire campaign, endorsing RomneyCare over and over again. This is not a new statement from the MittensCamp at all. Even Bill O’Reilly whipped Mittens’ ass on this during an interview.
You’re wrong. Romney is not “McCain redux.”
McCain, remember, picked Sarah Palin. Romney is considered likely to pick a “moderate” “centrist” “noncontroversial” figure like Portman.
In other words, Romney still has to pick a strong conservative running mate before he can even RISE to the level of being McCain redux. Right now, he’s falling short of even that unambitious standard.
Both Anne Coulter and Michele Malkin called for this idiot to be fired, immediately, because she is the best asset Obama has going for him and Obamacare.
Romney needs to purge his campaign of McCain-lites, including Saul (Did a great job of winning for John, didn’t you, Andrea?)
Meanwhile, Tea Party advocates are kicking the crap out of RINOS and weaklings in the Republican primaries. About time.
The fight is November is to the finish, for the soul and sheer existence of our America, not Obama’s USSA (United Socialist States of America).
No time for Sunshine Patriots, RINOS, blithering idiots (Romney’s campaign village is filled with them), and weaklings.
Lock, load, fire and take no prisoners.
If you can’t trust someone to either cover your back, or stand beside you, you’d better get rid of them before they sabotage your battle plans through stupidity or cowardice.
Now is the time for all loyal patriots to come to the defense of their country. You won’t get a second chance if we lose on Nov. 6th.
She was on McCain’s communications team.
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2011/03/romney_hires_ne_1.html
“Andrea Saul, a veteran of political campaigns in the western US, is joining Mitt Romney’s political action committee as the Republican readies for a second presidential campaign.
In a statement today, Romney said Saul will serve as a communications adviser to the Free and Strong America PAC.
She most recently served as press secretary for Carly Fiorina’s unsuccessful US Senate campaign in California. Previously, Saul worked as the top communications aide to Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
The statement said that during the 2008 election, Saul was director of media affairs for the McCain-Palin presidential campaign, responsible for organizing all television, radio, and surrogate activity. She held a similar job at the Republican National Committee, too.
In addition, Saul served briefly served as communications director for Florida Governor Charlie Crist as he ran for the US Senate. She quit when Crist decided to leave the Republican Party and run as an independent.”
Lordy! What a resume!
WHAT was he thinking?
Listen to the warnings of people who have emigrated to this country from Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Cuba, Korea, China...they will tell you that they are very afraid that oboma will win the elections and that they, the emigrants, will be thrown back into the hell hole that is socialism/communism/marxism...the very hell hole they sought refuge from. We must learn from these people who know what oboma and his socialism/marxism/communism is all about.
One step at a time, get rid of oboma, then deal with Romney and the Republican Party, and then we can choose a Conservative candidate we can all agree upon on for the 2016 elections.
WE cannot save the Republic by allowing more Obama.
Romney should fire Saul and FR needs to be accurate.
Carly Fiorina - Lost
Orrin Hatch - Won
McCain - Lost
Crist - Lost
One out of four is not a good track record. Gosh, how stupid can these RINOs be in picking staff?
Dump the Ditz!
