Mitt Romney is wrong on America’s health care crisis. Not only does he not have a health care plan that covers everyone, the video below shows he doesn’t even know how badly our families are affected.

An Iowa voter asked Romney if he becomes President, will he allow insurance companies to deny coverage for certain illnesses. The voter knows someone who was diagnosed with breast cancer and was unable to get insurance coverage for the needed treatment. As a result she had to pay for the treatment herself.

Romney’s response: “I can’t imagine a circumstance where insurance would deny coverage for breast cancer.”

Watch the video.

Obviously Romney hasn’t met the thousands of people diagnosed with serious illnesses each year that find out their insurance companies won’t pay for the treatment to save their lives.

If you or a loved one has had treatment of a serious illness denied by your health insurer, share your story. Or, if you’ve had trouble getting health care coverage because you’ve had cancer or another serious illness in the past, share your story.

We’ll deliver your stories in person to Gov. Romney so he knows the truth about our health care crisis.

Thanks for all that you do.

4. Top of the Food Chain
Isn't it ironic that one who made his zillions in an insurance company that notoriously denies coverage for it's patrons would then blindly claim that he can't imagine such a situation. Boy Howdy, did that shyte stink. Money begets money and Romney beget Romney who beget more Romney's. They're old money Mormons who haven't had to "Do without" for several generations now. How could he possibly know what the rest of America has had to live with? His head has been so far up his own arse that the only thing he can see is his own reflection in the shine of the feces in his own colon.

In the dark walnut interiors of the Masonic Lodges and expensive interiors of the Mormon Temples the elite don't have to face the bowed backs of the very dregs that they built their businesses on. His illusionary world is one created by the elite to keep the elite elite and he believes he's divinely entitled to his eliteness.

As mere peasants it's our duty to toil and follow and keep a low profile while expressing gratitude ("patriotism") for the scraps his kind and the government throw back after they've picked the bones clean of all the good meat.

Mitt Romney will say whatever the polls tell him to say and his appeal is purely a cosmetic mirror of what the Republicans wish they looked like. He's a mannequin that can be propped up in any window and dressed to look and sound like whatever they want him to look and sound like.
I can just see Carl Rove with his hand up Mitt's arse making him talk and move his mouth like he has something to say. Carl Rove was raised in SLC and I don't know that he's a Mormon, but he has all the skill and careful obfuscation of words and manipulation that the Mormon leaders instill in their mouthpieces and doo-doo-gooders.

Revisionist history is such a big part of the Mormon spin that Mitt can't help but change his story to fit the moment. It's in the blood, and Mitt's blood is true blue Mormon (TBM), making him a charlatan by association if anything else.

Mitt Romney is a card carrying dyed in the wool Mormon, but that also makes him a strong believer in doing whatever it takes to get what he wants, even manipulating the press, "lying for the Lord", feigning his manly hunter prowess, or denying his own faith and background in the LDS church. He comes from a long line of men who have been carefully conditioned to manipulate words.

As a former Mormon I recall many many lessons on doing just this. From the teachings that blacks and other people of color will become "A white and delight-some people" when they become Mormons, to revisionist history in many other issues the Mormons, especially the hierarchy and leadership, reflects the extent they'll go to to deny, distort, cover up, and manipulate the information. Mitt Romney is a 6th generation or more of this kind of practice.

When he spoke out to Larry King about how he thought there was nothing more horrible than Polygamy, then told the Newsweek reporter that he was a member of a Judeo Christian religion, and much more are all reflections of his willingness to minimize his religious background, deny his own culture and faith, and jettison loyalties faster than grease through a goose. I too think Polygamy is horrible, but as a former Mormon, I would not deny my own heritage in something that the bulk of the people believed in and supported, even if I did not agree.

I too would not be too excited about calling myself Mormon if my actions did not reflect the teachings of the Church's doctrine, but he claims to be one of the good ones. To call himself a member of a "Judeo Christian sect" is akin to denying his own faith. The cock will crow twice more and no doubt Mitt Romney will deny his own faith at least that many more times before the years up. He makes me sick, not just as a devious Mormon, but as a human being.

The Southern Carolinians and Bob Jones University officials, Born Agains, and other so called Christians who are willing to sell out to support "the best of the worst" are going to get exactly what they deserve if they continue to support this charlatan. He'll be as easily swayed and disloyal to them and their bigoted narrow causes as he is to his own faith and family. This guy is a puppet and a joke. Stick him in the window of a department store with a nice suit and shove your hand up his arse to make him say whatever you want him to say.

He's what those out of the church call a Mor-bot, a McMormon, a figurehead. I'm embarrassed to call him American. I'm ashamed that he is a reflection of the Mormon Church (even though I don't like the doctrine), and ashamed that he's still part of the human race. In two years he'll be the butt of jokes whether he succeeds or not. America, do not make the mistake of letting another Moron, Mormon, oops, member of THE Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints rise to power. If I've offended anyone, I sincerely apologize. (if I nod my head and slightly close my eyes and use that sing songy voice, does it make it sound more sincere?) Excellent... you are all now placated.

5. Better call him a Mormon than an American.

2. Fairly typical for a Republican
What? Problem? No problem! It never happened to me or anyone I know, so it never happens at all. Lower Taxes!

7. Oh, his son's served the USA by driving him. Rich, corrupt, elitist,
Did anyone hear what he had to say when the black asked him about poverty issues? He started talking about marriage and families. Joseph Smith lost the golden tablets and I hope Rommney loses winning.
