Well it's never to early to start slinging the dirt for Priorities USA Action. Their Latest farce of a comercial all but outright blames Mit Romney for a former GST Steel worker having lost his wife to cancer. Never mind the real facts like that 2 years prior to the plant closing Romney was no more than a figurehead for Bain Capitol, or the fact that when this worker was laid off his wife was still working and had her OWN insurance from her Employer. (a nifty lil fact they just happened to leave out) Now even though the wife had lost her coverage due to loosing her job. The tragic loss of this mans wife begs a few more questions to be asked given she died in 2006 and GST Steel was closed down in 2001. Didn't the husband look for a new job? Yes he did and wow had a job as a school custodian... now when was the last time you heard of ANY school employee being not being afforded the opportunity to opt into the school districts insurance plan. All bets can be placed on that he Opted out of it based on having coverage via his wife thus keeping more of his own money (under Obama care he would have been fined for not going out and getting insurance when his wife lost hers).
But this is Priorities USA Action were talking about and they are a far left supper PAC, so personal responsibility isn't high on their list of concerns unless you are conservative and make over 70k a year. I mean the wife died of lung cancer so was it her or her husband who was a smoker? Cause we all know according to the far left and groups like Priorities USA you can't possibly get Lung Cancer unless exposed to smoke or second hand smoke. Why was This tidbit left out? because you can't blame Romney for his or his wife's decision to smoke that's big tobacco's fault remember?
Now for a few facts about this add.
1. By the time Insurance coverage was lost and the tragic and untimely passing of this woman occurred Romney was Governor of Massachusetts.
2. From 1999 - 2001 Romney was on administrative leave from Bain Capitol (in other words he was negotiating his severance)
3. GST Steel was closed in 2001 almost 2 years after Romney took leave from Bain Capitol
4. 5 years passed and the husband didn't Ensure employment that provided health insurance FIVE YEARS.
5. The wife had insurance till an injury forced her to leave her job and coverage. (again the husband had no coverage making 24,000 a year and did not secure employment that provided coverage)
The Truth in this add is Bain Capitol did close a steel plant in Kansas City leaving its sister company in South Carolina open and functioning. Bain Capitol and more importantly Mit Romney had Nothing to do with the tragic loss of this mans wife and to even presume there is ANY correlation to be made it nothing short of a lie.
