GOP should have tried harder to get Jeb Bush on the ticket.

Dubya ruined it for him. The GOP should have picked him in 2008, but he's too moderate for the fringe.

Is that how you read it? Because how I read it is, Obama had to copy a plan of Romneys, so its pretty stupid to attack Romney while high 5ng Obama for the exact same bill, dont you think?

So? How does that change the story? How does that make it a lie?

Considering the short period of time between the ladies visit to the Doc and the day see died, I don't think any kind of insurance or government benefit - state or federal - would have saved her life.

So Obama's campaign has taken an otherwise unfortunate situation and turned it into a festive insult to Mr. Soptic. Unfortunately he had to participate.

Because the lady was diagnosed with cancer and lived for 20 days. No amount of insurance would have saved her, unless you're telling me a cure for cancer exists that the rest of us are unaware of.

By then she had late stage cancer. The most essential part of any cancer treatment is early diagnosis, which is kinda hard to get when you have little or no money, or insurance.

The lady held another job after Bain closed down her plant that gave her insurance.

Yeah, until she got injured and had to quit. That really does happen, you know?

I applaud the Romney campaign for finally coming around to what a good idea health care reform was.

How is that Romneys fault, especially considering Romney care was in place?
