Mitt Romney Haunted By Past Of Trying To Help Uninsured Sick People
April 21, 2011

Quote:"Every day I am haunted by the fact that I gave impoverished Massachusetts citizens a chance to receive health care," Romney told reporters Wednesday, adding that he feels ashamed whenever he looks back at how he forged bipartisan support to help uninsured Americans afford medicine to cure their illnesses. "I'm only human, and I've made mistakes. None bigger, of course, than helping cancer patients receive chemotherapy treatments and making sure that those suffering from pediatric AIDS could obtain medications, but that's my cross to bear."
...
According to Romney, if he could do things over again, he would do everything he could to make certain that uninsured individuals got sicker and sicker until they died. Promising his days of trying to provide medical coverage to the gravely ill are behind him, Romney said that if elected president, he would never even think about increasing anyone's quality of life or trying to lower the infant mortality rate.
...
"I don't know what got into me back then," Romney said. "Wanting to make sure people were able to have health insurance if they left their job. Providing a federally funded website so individuals could compare the costs of insurance providers. Making certain that somebody who earns less than 150 percent of the poverty level can receive the same health care coverage as me or any government official. All I can say is that I was young and immature, and I am not that person anymore."
...
"I like Michele Bachmann now," [Pennsylvania Republican voter Eric]Tolbert added. "Because what this country needs is a president who doesn't give a fuck about helping people."

LOL! I'll bet Mittens is thrilled to be mentioned anywhere, even in a piece from the Onion. Trump is sucking up all the oxygen in the room yet Mittens still tops most polls for GOP contenders.

I wager The Onion is rubbing their hands with glee at the anticipated opportunities for new material the GOP primaries will provide. I for one look forward to following their coverage.
