Forget seeking to tie Mitt Romney’s past with one woman’s death from cancer – a charge that lacks much evidence. A political pundit and journalist took a great leap further when he said Thursday that a Romney presidency would cost people with preexisting conditions and those out of work their lives.
On MSNBC Thursday night, Jonathan Alter spoke out against the repeal of Obamacare.
“People will die in the United States if Obamacare is repealed,” Alter said on air last night. “That is not an exaggeration. That is not crying fire. It’s a simple fact.”
Alter then went on to claim that, since Romney has said he would repeal Obamacare on his “first day” in office if elected in November, “a lot of people will die” if the Republican is elected to the presidency – putting the responsibility for these individuals’ deaths squarely on Romney’s shoulders.
“They don’t need to embrace this ad and get into a big fight about whether they were calling Mitt Romney a murderer or whatever,” Alter said, referring to the controversy surrounding the Priorities USA spot. “They need to move on to a debate about the main issue, which is Obamacare. And they can bring death into the conversation and say, ‘No, we’re not calling Mitt Romney a murderer, what we are saying is that if he’s elected president, a lot of people will die.’ Those are two slightly different, but related issues,” Alter said.

Ha! They don’t even bother trying to thread the needle anymore.
Really? And eternal life if The One stays in office?
Enlightening.
. “People will die in the United States if Obamacare is repealed,”
Go piss up a tree dumbass!...
December 21, 2012 was and is Romney’s doing and fault, as well. Be assured the is the next idiotic thing to come down the pike from the AnointedIdiot media, etc. =.=
Maybe ABC will find someone who’s investigated how many have died because they lost their health insurance after losing their friggen jobs over the past four years and imply, without rebuttal, that our POS president killed them.
The hysterics are in motion - clearly the Left is panicking.
Okay, then, let’s talk about the death panels and how many that are ‘too expensive’ or ‘too old to cure’ will die WITH Obamacare who are NOW getting proper health care. Never mind the other choices that could be made: union members getting priority, etc. Let’s hit ‘em back with that.
They simply cannot be allowed to raise that argument without GUARANTEEING that EVERYONE will ALWAYS get full treatment, without exception... and that’s simply not possible, as we know.
No matter how hard they try, nothing but Stupid comes out of the mouths of liberals.
Won’t it be great?
Start at Delphi
Ironic-
These live or die decisions will be in the hands of IPAB instead of the families, and libs are OK with that. Of course they are still deluded into thinking that “it’s all gonna be FREE!”.
Romney needs an ad featuring an ex Solyndra worker telling how Obama gave hundreds of millions of tax dollars to payback his cronies and doesn’t care that people lost their jobs and health insurance.
There is no concern for the welfare of the general public in them. There is no mistaken premise or failure of logic behind their positions. They aren't nearly as stupid as we tend to think they are.
THEY ARE DOING THIS DELIBERATELY.
For power. For money. For control.
They are evil and they must be stopped.
Ummmm...people are dying right now as we speak.... and who is President????? Alter should be asked to outline Obama’s plan for the bailout of the funeral industry when he ends mortality.
A more reliable source than Harry typically uses.
Obamacare Costs $1.9 Trillion ($190B/yr for 10 years) AND Still Leaves 30 Million Uninsured according to CBO.
I have to question why they even did this.
It is tempting to laugh at the increasingly shrill and hysterical tone of the Left. The problem is that those who falsely convince themselves that their political foes are not merely mistaken or wrong but evil - will eventually act on that belief, given enough power. The Left follows a clear historical pattern in this respect: ridicule is the beginning; dispossession is the middle; murder is the end.
This entire pre existing condition thing drives me crazy.
“Hello, Allstate? My house is on fire, may I get coverage?”
LOL!
Not nearly as many as will die if the big O is re-elected!
