Continued Shambles from Willard's Campaign

Right wingers are having conniptions today over a statement made by a spokesperson for plutocrat and humanoid replica Willard "Romney Hood" Romney. You'll recall the ad by Priorities USA Action (an Obama supporting Super PAC) that featured a worker, Joe Soptic, who lost his job and his health insurance after a Bain takeover; his wife later died of cancer. Willard's spokesperson attacked the ad by saying that if Mr. Soptic had lived in Massachusetts, he would have benefited from Willard's Romneycare.

To quote Texas Gov. Rick "Hair" Perry, OOPS!

While probably true, Romney Hood's campaign dare not bring up Romneycare. The far right base of his party sees that program as contrary to their Social Darwinist philosophy of "let him / her die," and as a forerunner to the Affordable Care Act. In other words, political poison, and the wingnuts are furious, and the punditocracy is calling this another major "shambles" for Willard.
