Romney Still Says Emergency Rooms Are The Answer For The Uninsured

This time he even said that people don't die in America for lack of health insurance.

This, despite a Harvard study (Romney's alma mater) which puts the number of people who die each year because they don't have insurance at 45,000.

At this point I think it's safe to chalk this up as just another one of his lies.

John,

I'm taking up a collection for Dave Siegel. The poor dear says he'll fire all of his emploees if I vote for Obama. He must really be hurting, financially. So, canned goods, old (serviceable) clothes.....anything you can spare to help that whiney piece of shit out would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Dave

He is truly out of his mind. What has become of the once great Republican party that this man was the best they could come up with.

The guy who just built a 900,000 sq. ft. mansion?

The letter he sent to his employees was re-worked from an internet hoax sent out in 2008.

Yeah, but, this time it was real.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_1957743.html

To be fair, he didn't mean they would be fired directly. How could he possibly know how each individual voted?
But, the notion still remains---Obama wins, your job is in jeopardy, 'cuz the boss said so.

Then, there is this piece of corporate doublespeak, that I found amusing;

""Our managers communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend," a Murray Energy Company spokesman later told local news radio WWVA.""

Regards,
Dave

What isn't compulsory is mandatory? The U.S. is turning into a cheap copy of Animal Farm. What a tragedy for the rest of the world. I wonder what will happen to the Peace Corp if R$R are elected?

It contains the word "peace" in it's name. This word shall be removed from the newspeak, and therefore rendered meaningless as it is a word reminiscent of a period it the 1960s-1970s wherein dope smoking flower power hippies such as the dreaded Billary and the even more dreaded Obama who grew up to become Democrats.

Oldspeak-"Peace", Newspeak-"unWar".

That is all. Return to your domestic duties, Brother Bob.

America does not have Emergency Rooms, only Waiting Rooms, been in one lately?

Over 100,000 people die each year because of healthcare.

Over 60% of personal bankruptcies are caused by healthcare.

Only in America.
