30. Romney didn't win!

Dec 2012

And for us seniors in florida(my 60 yr old husband) cannot get affordable health care because Rick Scott has refused obamacare, this is a one way ticket to bankruptcy and poor health! We should not have to pay for the sins of the profiteers and their political allies with our future stability. I feel I have been betrayed by a party I have stood behind for all my adult life! And we have always lived within our means. Our modest home mortgage is our only debt.

the deal will still be 1000000X better than romneys.. SCliberal091294 Dec 2012 #1
