It was the fall of 1998, the height of Mr. Romney’s high-flying career as a private equity executive. But his wife, Ann, was not well. She was exhausted, and having difficulty walking; her right foot was dragging. When a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital arrived at a diagnosis — multiple sclerosis — “they just held each other in their arms,” their son Josh said, “and just cried.”
Thirty years earlier, in the spring of 1968, Mr. Romney, then a Mormon missionary in France, had a scare of a different sort. He was at the wheel of a tiny Citroën, cruising along a country road, when a Mercedes rounded a curve and crashed into his car, head on. One of his passengers — the wife of the French mission president — was killed. Mr. Romney, by all accounts not at fault, was knocked unconscious and mistakenly pronounced dead at the scene.

There’s always time for gun rights, brother. Don’t let ‘em distract you. Finances AND gun rights. That’s my plan.
Yeah, W was a financial disaster, but at this point fixing the mess is more important than pointing fingers of blame.
You’re really the gift that just keeps giving aren’t you? Why don’t you take your toxic attacks to DU? They’ll be more appreciated there.
The DU Dolt riseth again. Pound sand, Obama lover.
So when we are all dead and buried and we stand before God, you believe God will make a special place in Heaven for you because of your deep and continued enmity toward all Mormons and especially Mitt Romney. Is that about it?
That was a pretty fair article. I think the one fellow made a good point, Romney is not the opposite of Obama but of Clinton.
I don’t think Obama’s been feeling our pain too much either.
Thanks for posting that.
If Obama were to drop off of the planet tomorrow, I’d eat a piece of apple pie. If Obama wins the election, he will steal my pie and give it to others. I want to keep some of my pie. This ain’t complicated to me. ;>)
Obama has gotta go......
Trying to change the subject for Soros and Romney?
The issue is: Romney instituted DEATH PANELS
and socialized medicine (=ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE).
Mr. RomneyCARE may just lose over this because
Americans HATE it.
you believe God will make a special place in Heaven for you because of your deep and continued enmity toward all Mormons and especially Mitt Romney. Is that about it?

WTF?
You think God doesn’t love all people, you think He hates Mormons? We are all children of God, He loves all of us. He may not reward all of us the same way but I am convinced that He wants all of us to live with Him eternally, not especially Mormons but certainly even Mormons.
God will likely give you a hard way to go for your hate of the Mormons. Let God worry about it and let the Mormons worry about their relationship with God.
Dadgumit, they’re good people. They just don’t believe the way you believe but they are good. You should be glad that people are willing to elect a good person as president instead of the scum we have gotten recently like Clinton and Obama.
There were better choices during the primary, I didn’t vote for Romney there but there are no other electable choices now. You either vote for Romney or you vote for Obama. You could always write in I guess but that would be the same as voting for Obama. Nobody is going to look at the 15 or 20 thousand votes that were written in for Paul and say we should throw the results out and instead only let Paul run. The majority have spoken. There is only one choice for not Obama now. When I vote that is exactly what I will be doing, voting for “Not Obama!” It could have been worse, much worse.
I’m not sure Romney is all bad. His business skills just might come in handy getting the government under control. He knows how to fire people, I hope he has the guts to fire a couple of million of the government workers.
I hope when he kicks the commies out of the EPA that we will start drilling, pumping oil again. A price of $2.00 for gas and the elimination of Obama care will get the country moving and booming again. I will be praying that Romney wins.
I for one hope God knows Romney well and hope Romney knows God well. I am hoping that God answers the prayers of all those that are praying for him to win and doesn’t listen to your prayers for him to fail.
It is an interesting time in the history of the USA. The right choice for president has never been clearer.
I don’t think Romney will touch guns.
Big Daddy Heorge came to Wee Willies rescue after that accident in France...
George rushed over there mopped up started a rumor that the other driver was at fault and drunk and tried to create havock to get sonny boy off the hook...
The other driver was a Catholic priest who had 2 passengers his own 80 yo mother and her friend a lady from his parish...
The man was not drunk and just who was on the werong side was never determined...
The Catholic Church already did not have a very good relationship with Wee Willies religion and to accuse the innocent Catholic priest to cover for Wee Willie caused a further rift...
The police at the scene of the accident confirmed that the Catholic priest had not been drinking...
There was no mention of whether or not Wee Willie was drunk...
Wee Willie only had a broken arm..
The woman who died was sitting in the front in the middle on the gear colomn but there was no proper seat there...
Wee Willie had a passenger sitting illegally in a car in which he was the driver and responsible..
But Big Daddy George took care of all the pesky items...
a few weeks later Wee Willie was in an accident ...
I wondered when the “he rose from the dead” story about the accident in France would come about.
I do not know how the Romney’s have handled Mrs Romney’s MS, however I do know the France story and it is not as presented.
The SLC lds have done a wonderful job, re-presenting the events in France (that would also include the lost girl story).
When was that?
That would be Romney know his gods well.
Why would you think that? His record says otherwise.
