"Free stuff"? Maybe Romney is projecting.

[ProSense]

ROMNEY'S EXACT WORDS: Remind them of this, if they want more stuff from government tell them to go vote for the other guy-more free stuff. But don't forget nothing is really free.

Remember the horse:

Romney Took $77,000 Tax Deduction For His Dancing Horse

by keepemhonest

Let me start off by saying Mitt Romney is a Pathological Liar.

The New York Times reports that the Romney's took a $77,000.00 Tax Deduction on their dancing horse, Rafalca.

The Romneys declared a loss of $77,000 on their 2010 tax returns for the share in the care and feeding of Rafalca, which Mrs. Romney owns with Mr. Ebeling’s wife, Amy, and a family friend, Beth Meyers.

Here is an Image of 2010 Romney's $77,000 Tax Deduction for their dancing horse, courtesy of Diarist dmhlt 66. The Screen Capture of Romney's $77,731 Dancing Horse Deduction from their 2010 Income Tax Returns is on page 193 of 2010 Filed Tax Return.



Notice: Romney's 1/3 ownership of the dancing horse gave rise to a $77,000.00 Tax Deduction -- at a time when America is paying its Debt on Two Wars I don't think Americans should be subsidizing Romney's, apparently, very needy horse.

1. Does Rob Rom Enterprises stand for "Robber Romney"?

[BumRushDaShow]

2. LOL!!!

[hedgehog]

3. How do you lose money on a horse that's supposed to be competing

in the Olympics? I mean, the horse has to be an amateur, right? Do i get to incorporate my chickens? I think at the current cost of feed I'm probably spending twice as much on eggs than they cost at the grocery store.

As well as the IRS.

8. Is this the same horse they sold while heavily drugged?

And got sued when the buyer found out? And settled out of court?

I have no link but I read it, here, I think.

9. Ann Romney’s Horse Lawsuit-Over Drugging a Lame Horse to Sell It

The entire court document can be read Here

http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/ann-romneys-high-horse




As if we don’t know by now, The Romney’s are not like most Americans, they invest in a rich man’s sport called dressage and some morally depraved horse trading.


Specifically, Ann Romney’s horse trading experience, includes a lawsuit against her for selling a drugged up horse to a prospective buyer. The horse’s name is Super Hit and the horse was lame, she sold it to a woman named in the law suit as Catherine Norris.

Ann Romney sold the horse according to court papers, that was lame due to “it’s coffin joint abnormality in the left front leg“. The veterinarian term is called: exostosis that causes chronic pain and is debilitating to the horse.

Plus, the horse had a secondary lameness injury in the right front leg, enduring physical pain for five years while being trained for dressage under the influence of steroid drugs. It is possible, the horse had more physical injuries by the training period between 2003 and 2008, which would increase the lameness and abnormalities of the Romney horse, Super Hit.

Mrs. Norris filed a lawsuit against Ann Romney in Ventura County, California after being sold a lame horse. Norris filed against: Jan Eberling, Amy Eberling, Amy Roberts, Ann Romney, Dr. Doug Herthel, DVM, Alamo Pintado Equine Clinic, Inc., and Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center.

According to the expert veterinary testimony of Dr.Stephen Soule VMD who has practiced veterinary medicine for 38 years, and who has examined thousands of competition horses, his testimony included this:



1)The horse was injected with repeated drugs and steroids in the left front joint between 2003 and 2008 for five years.

2) Anyone with any competence would know the horse was suffering from a significant degree of abnormality and that the horse was not physically sound for the five years.


3)The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) has information regarding the sale of horses and pre-purchase examinations. Professional guidelines include: The six D’s: Discovery, Documentation, Disclosure, Discussion and Decision and Deposition involving the sale of a horse to a buyer.


4) On the day of examination for the sale, Super Hit was given three sedative/pain killer medications and one narcotic.



In his 38 years of practice, Dr. Soule had never seen “a horse given so many drugs at the same time”. The buyer was not given this information in the testimony given, but showed up in a toxicology report. The drugs were give to present the horse in a different light, to mask the lameness.

Ann Romney continued to show the horse, and the horse’s scores went down during those years, she could have retired the horse and ensured it was not in pain but then she sold it to Catherine Norris in February of 2008.

He also mentions in his testimony, that Ann Romney did not have insurance for the lameness in the left front coffin joint in her Equine Insurance policy. The testimony also includes the fact that strenuously training the horse for dressage showings made the horse’s condition worsen to developing ringbone a debilitating disease.

10. Looks like her horse had a pre-existing condition

and hence she couldn't get that hoof problem insured. You would think that if she couldn't get a policy to cover the hoof, she knew something was wrong from the beginning.

11. Dogs & horses have zero chance with the Romneys. This Ann Romney law suit story should be posted

everyday as the Romney's NEW dressage horse competes in the coming London Olympics.

12. Rob-me talks about us wanting "free stuff",

yet he's the same guy who wants to continue dodging taxes while having the working class burdened even more. Ruhpublicans say the damndest things, don't they?

[Beartracks]

13. No, no, no, it's not "free stuff, it's a "reward" for being rich!

My "success" shouldn't be "punished" -- instead, I get a bonus for being so rich!!!

Losers don't get prizes, losers.

( for channeling Romney, obviously)

P.S. Remember, even Lindsey Graham admits it's all just "a game we play."

====================

14. "Losers"? Don't you mean peasants?

The help? Those people?

Learn Romney speak!

15. Oops, guess I might've been channeling Rush... ? n/t
