Willard brings out the sick wife (Almost worked for Edwards)

Relax.

The government isn’t the people. Everything remains. The land, mathematics, every day heroes, and bums.

I don’t know what planet you’re living on. I’ve known him 16 years, and he’s one of the most disingenuous phonies in politics, bar none. He is pathologically incapable of being “selfless.” He has tried to take full and total credit for Brown’s win, in a truly disgusting spectacle. His approval ratings in MA are in the toilet, and he thinks that election was ALL ABOUT HIM. He gets results ? Pardon me all over the place. The man DELIBERATELY all but choked the last breath out of the MA GOP, and he has no interest in doing anything that does not PERSONALLY benefit himself. The only “results” he personally got was shoving Socialized medicine down the throats of the residents of MA, appointing the leftist Judge who was responsible for the death of Brian and Beverly Mauck, and last of all, making sure Deval Patrick had a clear shot at succeeding him as Governor. So if you’re talking about helping the Democrats and the Socialist agenda, Slick Willard has been one of their GREATEST advocates. Conservatism ? Not in the least.

I did not know that either of them was sick but I have noticed Neal Cavutos voice sounds different lately, gravely sort of. I hope his cancer has not spread. Prayers for the health of both of them.

I believe Cavuto’s cancer was “cured” a while back; I think it might have been colon cancer. It’s his MS that is not curable, and, as he said just a day ago, even though his MS is a severe form of it, he luckily has not had it manifested physically too much so far. It has only mildly affected him physically, at least for now. He can’t figure out how he lucked out so far, but is grateful for it. He holds Mitt Romney’s wife out as a role model of courage in the face of adversity (both MS and breast cancer) and for all she does as an advocate for the search for a cure for MS.

"Mitt gets results."

So, one out of five. Batting .200. Nots so good.

La Enchiladita (wise gringa) :
“Romney can be very selfless when called for.
Recently, he raised huge amounts of money for Scott Brown’s campaign via his Facebook page

It was wrong for sneak-thief Mitt RomneyCARE to keep the money for HIMSELF.

1) Generous billionaire Mitt gave Brown $4500
and that was from his slush fund of OP$ (other peoples money).

2) McCain actually gave more. ROTFLOL.

“Romney (from his last lost presidential run still) had $1.1 million left in the bank.
He contributed $4,500 [that is 0.4% of other peoples’ money ] to Republican Scott Brown,
who was elected US senator from Massachusetts on Jan. 19.
McCain topped Romney’s donation to Brown’s campaign,
chipping in $5,000 from his PAC,
according to the commission. -- BLOOMBERG NEWS”

“Shame on you both for not considering HER interests”

I suspect she knows her best interests better than you do. Unless you are inferring she is just a dumb blond. Nothing is as disgusting as your vituperative behavior on this forum. And I see once again you run to hide behind the skirts of what you assume to be your protector. The word “despicable” comes to mind.

I remember when that Socialist creep slithered his way onto Brown’s podium on Election Night. He looked like HE was going to give a victory speech. The man’s megalomania knows no bounds. Even Zero isn’t that much of an egotist, and that’s really something.

How DARE you put down Ms. Romney as a "dumb blond".

You are as insensitive as bitter Mitt.

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]

See, right out of the starting gate you reveal you have no argument, asking me what planet I live on. Haha.

Now, to get back on topic — which is what threads are all about -— I would like to see you defend the original vanity poster’s attack on Mrs. Romney due to her illness, calling her “the sick wife.”

Is this fair, given the number of sick FReepers we’ve known over the years and cared about? Do we malign FReepers for telling us of their spouse’s ailments? I don’t know what TV show the poster viewed but another poster said they didn’t even talk about Mrs. Romney’s MS that much. And it wasn’t Mitt himself coming on forum to tell us, so what is the issue here?

Diogenesis can’t post without pinging his babysitters to come and help.

No FReeper needs help to show that Mitt RomneyCARE is as
abusive to his wife as he is to his dog and to the citizens of Massachusetts.

“Mr. Romney's subsidized coverage is meanwhile doing what entitlements do: crowding
out private insurers, compounding the cost explosion, walking the state toward rationing.
So long as the former governor clings to these central points of his health plan, he's on
the wrong side of free-market policy and public opinion.

This isn't going away for Mr. Romney either, which is why he'd do better by writing off
his own plan as a mistake that Democrats have made worse, and replacing it with a
proposal that deregulates and reforms the private market to lower insurance costs
(thereby achieving greater coverage).”

From CATO (the whole article is worthwhile): “Before RomneyCare was enacted, estimates of the number of uninsured in
Massachusetts ranged from 372,000 to 618,000. Under the new program, about 219,000
previously uninsured residents have signed up for insurance. Of these, 133,000 are
receiving subsidized coverage, proving once again that people are all too happy to accept
something “for free,” and let others pay the bill. That is in addition to 56,000 people who
have been signed up for Medicaid. The bigger the subsidy, the faster people are signing
up. Of the 133,000 people who have signed up for insurance since the plan was
implemented, slightly more than half have received totally free coverage.

The Bay State's mandatory insurance law is raising costs, limiting access, and lowering care.

utopia of high-quality affordable healthcare, the result has been the exact opposite –
skyrocketing costs, worsened access, and lower quality care."

How ‘bout you defend your OWN post that I blew a hole through large enough to fly Slick Willard’s ego through ?

How DARE you put down Ms. Romney as a “dumb blond”.
You are as insensitive as bitter Mitt.

Nice try, but the people on this thread can read, even if you can’t. And you are a liar above, aren’t you. You twist words better than Obama. Go argue with yourself; you’re the only one who can stand you.

Intelligence doesn’t need to be defended; idiocy does, so I await your defense of C19fan.

Someone told me you’re an actual person. I didn’t believe them, but now you tell us how much you care about the Romney family dog, if not his “dumb blonde” wife, maybe it is possible you are an actual person.

Yeah, did anyone ask him if he’d trust his wife’s health to ObamaCare? RomneyCare??

That was YOUR post #46 that called her that.

How cruel you are.

First, you call someone nice, Ms Romney,
some thing terrible. She did not deserve it.

Then when she is defended, you attack her FReeper supporter
lying that you did not use the words “dumb blond”.

You have spoke falsehoods, and Post #46 confirms that,
just like the “hate” lies you fabricated, yourself.
That is what the Legion of RomneyBOTs do, apparently.

Thanks. Some of Romney's critics do not hate him, but
are concerned about actual live and, now dead, people

As but one example:

Probe: Mitt missed chance to keep Tavares jailed - Could have nixed killer’s early exit

Friday, December 28, 2007 - Boston Herald
"Former Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration failed to act on disciplinary recommendations
that would have kept ex-con killer Daniel Tavares locked up another year -
and behind bars at the time he was accused of killing a newlywed couple in Washington state."

"Despite Tavares’ long history of violence, the Romney-led Department of Correction
took no action on recommendations that he be stripped of “good time” because
of assaults on prison guards in 2003 and 2005, said sources familiar with a state probe into the case."

Since you seem to care, do you care about Sen THompson?

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,

In other words, you can’t defend it. How like a Socialist Slick Willardbot, getting caught in a lie and trying to deflect attention when called to account.
