Oy vey!
I’m sure Mormons will be provided for under Romney.
Romney is meshugana.
Newt locks up the Snowbird demographic.

Mitt Romney is getting heat for a 2003 veto he cast as governor of Massachusetts to reject $600,000 in additional funds for poor Jewish nursing-home residents to get kosher meals.
At the time, Romney said he nixed the funding of about $5 per day because it “unnecessarily” would lead to an “increased rate for nursing facilities” — even as kosher nursing homes were complaining that state-funding-formula changes could force them to close their kitchens.
“I was outraged,” Jeffrey Goldshine, the retired CEO of a company that operated a kosher facility in Massachusetts, told The Post yesterday.
“For the elderly Jewish residents of a nursing home that have always been kosher — they should be entitled to continue.”
The Massachusetts Legislature approved an amendment to restore the $600,000 to finance the kosher meals allowing a “most vulnerable segment of our population’’ to “enjoy a special dignity,” according to the Jewish Community Council.
I am Jewish. But I am more concerned with Newt supporting illegal immigration.
This oddball attack could well backfire. Dangerous to enter ethnic/religious fray.
Also Dov Hikind supports Newt.
Well, Mitt should open a Deli for all the baloney he’s serving up....
Time to ask the Kosher Nostra to have a nice discussion with Willard.
This is just coming to light on the national stage because NJ Gov. Christie signed into law a similar ruling for the FY2012 NJ Medicare, nursing home, elder care budget.
There is a pretty large petition drive going on in the NJ Jewish, Hindu and Muslim communities to restore funding for religious dietary law reimbursement levels for elderly Medicaid recipients and the institutions that house/feed them....
strange world.
Mormons believe THEY are the true Jews.. that when they convert they have a change of blood.. they call jews “gentiles”
I have and had a BIG problem with every pro-abort and pro-perversion liar who claims Catholicism such as Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Rosa DeLauro, Joe Biden, Little Dick Durbin, Tom Harkin, Arnold Schwarzenkennedy, Gray Davis, Dannell Malloy, Pat Quinnochio, Christopher Dodd, Patty Murray, Lisa Moocowski, Debbie Stabbincow, Dennis Cuckoocinich, John (did you know he served in Vietnam?) Kerry, Susan Collins, Anthony (Day O'Connor) Kennedy, and so many many other lying hypocrite anti-Catholics in "Catholic" clothing.
I also have no use for other people claiming Christianity while cheerleading and/or protecting abortion (the wanton slaughter of God's babies) and perversion (see genesis on Sodom and Gomorrah): Obozo, Moochelle Obozo, Mark Kirk, Al Gore, John Paul Stevens, William O. Douglas, Sandra Day O'Connor, David Swish Souter, Herod Blackmun, Lewis Powell, Martin Marty, Ron Paul, DoGood Marshall, etc.
Let's not forget the worst of unfaithful Jews in public life who also gush with enthusiasm for baby-killing and sexual perversion: Richard Blumenthal (my personal fave pet peeve among Jews), Al Franken, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Ruth Buzzi Ginzberg, Elena Kagan, Frank Lautenberg, Schmuckie Chewmer, Barney Frank, etc.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Mitt Romney, a member in good standing of the foregoing rogues' gallery of evil excuses for public officials would have the temerity to deny to elderly observant Jews in nursing homes Kosher food (ignore your religious requirements or starve , see if Mittwit cares) and freedom of religion to Catholics and others whose faiths require them to refrain from abortion altogether (including "morning-after" pills, "emergency contraception" and the plain old abortifacient "birth control" pill which prevents implantation of the infant already conceived). After all, why pay heed to the First Amendment freedom of religion when there are secular humanist homicidal votes to whore after, much less plain jane anti-Semitic votes, to save a few pennies per meal?
While the foregoing rogues' gallery of anti-religious misfits and miscreants is, each and every one, a rank disgrace to the US and to Judaeo-Christian civilization, Romney is special because he is actually in a position to buy, bribe, and bully his way to the GOP nomination by the expenditure of massive amounts of money (the genuine god of the secular humanist legion).
We need a major political party opposed to: baby-killing, perversion posing as "marriage," homosexual anything else, gun grabbing, tax hiking on ordinary folks, anti-military peacecreepism, disarmament, globalist anything, cuddling up politically to the Demonrat enemies and spineless RINOs, the regulatory state, envirowhackoism, trade policies that destroy the middle class to benefit the filthy rich and which is not on autosmooch for the backsides of elitists. Therefore, we need to stop Romney once and for all and to make him the poster boy for political annihilation until we can deal with Obozo in November to make that a twosome.
I personally would prefer Rick Santorum but he is getting nowhere and is now merely blocking Gingrich and helping Romney to win delegates by pluralities. Rick Perry, and Herman Cain have withdrawn and endorsed Gingrich enthusiastically. Santorum should do the same. So should Michelle Bachmann. Let the conservative movement unite against Romney, nominate and elect Gingrich. Ignore the siren calls about how Gingrich trails Obozo by 10 points or so. At this point in 1980, Ronaldus Maximus trailed Jimmuh Cahtuh by 25% and he would up taking 40 states in the fall of 1980. I know that Newt is not Reagan but he is the closest we have come to Reagan since Reagan.
As JimRob says: The rebellion is on!

Very disappointing ad from the Gingrich campaign, straightforward Jew baiting hoping for an anti Romney reaction before the facts are known. Axelrod will be able to use this against either nominee. Commentary has a decent recitation of the facts, but the issue revolved around one or three (depending on who is telling the story) nursing homes who planned to close uneconomic Kosher kitchens and provide catered or packaged (not tasty) Kosher meals to their observant patients. In their wisdom, the liberal legislature allocated $800m for Kosher kitchens, Romney vetoed the bill, as he should have.
I know some will disagree, but consider that by supporting Kosher kitchens, and of course halal, and other "religious" kitchens, you're not exactly coming down on the side of fiscal responsibility.
No one in these homes, Holocaust survivers or otherwise, were or would have been denied Kosher meals. The ad was a lie. They might not have been as tasty, might have had to relocate to a home with tastier Kosher meals. That's capitalism.
I know Newt disclaims knowledge of the ad, shame on the campaign people who put it out in his name.
But Mormon Bishop Romney will baptize them into the Mormon Church after they die, so no harm done. /s
