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.”

I don’t get why all of you guys act like this is new. Mittens has been, throughout the entire campaign, endorsing RomneyCare over and over again. This is not a new statement from the MittensCamp at all. Even Bill O’Reilly whipped Mittens’ ass on this during an interview.

You’re wrong. Romney is not “McCain redux.”

McCain, remember, picked Sarah Palin. Romney is considered likely to pick a “moderate” “centrist” “noncontroversial” figure like Portman.

In other words, Romney still has to pick a strong conservative running mate before he can even RISE to the level of being McCain redux. Right now, he’s falling short of even that unambitious standard.

Both Anne Coulter and Michele Malkin called for this idiot to be fired, immediately, because she is the best asset Obama has going for him and Obamacare.

Romney needs to purge his campaign of McCain-lites, including Saul (Did a great job of winning for John, didn’t you, Andrea?)

Meanwhile, Tea Party advocates are kicking the crap out of RINOS and weaklings in the Republican primaries. About time.
The fight is November is to the finish, for the soul and sheer existence of our America, not Obama’s USSA (United Socialist States of America).

No time for Sunshine Patriots, RINOS, blithering idiots (Romney’s campaign village is filled with them), and weaklings.

Lock, load, fire and take no prisoners.

If you can’t trust someone to either cover your back, or stand beside you, you’d better get rid of them before they sabotage your battle plans through stupidity or cowardice.

Now is the time for all loyal patriots to come to the defense of their country. You won’t get a second chance if we lose on Nov. 6th.

She was on McCain’s communications team.

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2011/03/romney_hires_ne_1.html

“Andrea Saul, a veteran of political campaigns in the western US, is joining Mitt Romney’s political action committee as the Republican readies for a second presidential campaign.

In a statement today, Romney said Saul will serve as a communications adviser to the Free and Strong America PAC.

She most recently served as press secretary for Carly Fiorina’s unsuccessful US Senate campaign in California. Previously, Saul worked as the top communications aide to Senator Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.

The statement said that during the 2008 election, Saul was director of media affairs for the McCain-Palin presidential campaign, responsible for organizing all television, radio, and surrogate activity. She held a similar job at the Republican National Committee, too.

In addition, Saul served briefly served as communications director for Florida Governor Charlie Crist as he ran for the US Senate. She quit when Crist decided to leave the Republican Party and run as an independent.”

Lordy! What a resume!

WHAT was he thinking?

You and I don't own a Crystal Ball...forget what you THINK, FEEL about Romney's chances of winning. Enough talk, we now need action at the polls in mega numbers. We KNOW who and what oboma is and what he will do to us if he wins in November. Oboma HATES this country. Romney is NOT a hater, and Romney IS NOT a card-carrying socialist/marxist/communist. oboma is all of the above. We will have to to sit on Romney's hide and make sure he does what we want. Rommey knows this isn't some political run in Massachusetts. This is a run for the President of the United States, and he knows how we feel about obomacare..and he wants to win this election.

Listen to the warnings of people who have emigrated to this country from Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Cuba, Korea, China...they will tell you that they are very afraid that oboma will win the elections and that they, the emigrants, will be thrown back into the hell hole that is socialism/communism/marxism...the very hell hole they sought refuge from. We must learn from these people who know what oboma and his socialism/marxism/communism is all about.

One step at a time, get rid of oboma, then deal with Romney and the Republican Party, and then we can choose a Conservative candidate we can all agree upon on for the 2016 elections.

WE cannot save the Republic by allowing more Obama.

Romney should fire Saul and FR needs to be accurate.

Carly Fiorina - Lost
Orrin Hatch - Won
McCain - Lost
Crist - Lost

One out of four is not a good track record. Gosh, how stupid can these RINOs be in picking staff?
