Facepalm: Romney says Romneycare demonstrates his ‘empathy and care’

http://twitchy.com/2012/09/26/facepalm-romney-says-romneycare-demonstrates-his-empathy-and-care/

Romney told NBC’s Ron Allen in an interview before his rally tonight:

"I got everybody in my state insured," Romney tells NBC. "I don't think anything shows more empathy and care...than that kind of record."


“One hundred percent of the kids in our state had health insurance. I don’t think there’s anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record.”

Frankly, I'm exhausted by Romney's now hourly lapses in sanity.

Massachusetts democrats saw that Romney was working hard to set up a second term win and used Romney's focus to get health care reform passed. After passage of the law, Romney did nothing but attack it, the democratic Senate and House had to fight Romney off to keep the law from getting gutted. Romney made enough mistakes in other areas that it became obvious that he could not win a second term. Romney left the health care reform and state finances in tatters and went around the country trashing Massachusetts. Deval Patrick defeated Romney's replacement in 2006 and started to resurrect schools and the health care reform bill. Patrick put muscle and people resources behind school reform and implementing health care reform. Patrick sent a capable administrator to run the health care initiative and got rid of Romney's stooge. The new administrator set about working with fine hospitals and also setting up a health care super-market that is the strong skeleton of the successful health-care initiative that Patrick built. Romney didn't build Massachusetts health-care, Deval Patrick did along with a courageous and determined state Senate and House.

If Hillary does not run...or maybe her running mate.
He was absolutely sensational at the Convention.
