Romney spokesperson cites Massachusetts health law (as a plus)
Polutico ^ | Wednesday August 8, 2012

Posted on 08/08/2012 10:22:57 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

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.”

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?

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.

And gay boy scouts

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.

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.

“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?
