We've seen the stories about harassing the gay boy, the nearly blind teacher, posing as a state trooper, strapping Seamus to the roof of the car, laying off thousands of employees, etc.

But here we see the real Romney. Parse his words, as long as someone had had insurance (with no lapse of coverage - read as as long as they were paying homage to the fat-cat insurance companies) he would not allow the insurance company to deny coverage. What about those that had had a job with insurance, couldn't afford COBRA (which is very, very expensive), was without work for a year and finally got back on their feet enough to seek health insurance. He would allow them to be denied? What is his logic? What is the difference between the person with a pre-existing condition that has had continuous coverage and one that hasn't? What difference does it make other than they weren't enriching the insurance company for the time they were not insured.

He is quite a tool this one. Unfortunately I'm afraid the Murkan sheeples aren't smart enough to figure this out.
