It is nice to know that there is water so vile and polluted, that even CNN won’t carry it.

Soptic said his wife quit her job a year or two later due to an unspecified injuryWhat?! This story is going to be complete garbage by the time they get done.

Mark Levin covering this on his show now.
The lies piled up in the ad are despicable and besmirch the memory of the steelworker's wife.

Wow, so Messina sold Bobo on stale untrue ads? Because Joe Septic has been around and around before.
I swear Clinton must be pissing himself laughing at these clowns...

Today Rush posed the question: how should Romney respond to this kind of baloney?
The answer is: Don’t continue the narrative. Respond with something that turns the accusation back on Obama.

Here's the link to CNN's article and an excerpt:
Romney stopped his day-to-day oversight at Bain Capital in 1999 when he left to run the Salt Lake City Olympics, though he officially remained CEO until 2002. Bain Capital shut down GST Steel in 2001, costing Soptic his job.
According to Mr. Soptic, his wife received her primary insurance through her employer a local thrift store called Savers and retained it even after his layoff. Soptic's policy through GST Steel was her secondary coverage.
In 2002, Mitt Romney formally left Bain. Sometime in 2002 or 2003, Mr. Soptic says his wife injured her rotator cuff and was forced to leave her job. As a result she lost her health insurance coverage and Mr. Soptic's new job as a janitor did not provide coverage for his spouse.
It was a few years later, in 2006, that Ilyona Soptic went to the hospital with symptoms of pneumonia. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer and passed away just days later.

So if CNN is shining a light on the man and his misguided blame on Romney does that mean that Obama is trying to distance himself from this ad? After all CNN works for Obama
