Making fun of someone who died of cancer, has cancer, or potentially has cancer is NO JOKE!!!!!!

12. The media was so eager on this a bunch of them missed loyalkydem's

point. Ed Shultz probably got the closest of the ones I saw

The ad made more than one point:
1. Obviously, Bain closing down that plant and walking away with a bundle of dough was brutal and absolutely devastating to that man's town and his own quality of life

2. Without healthcare, his wife lost her chances to avoid or overcome cancer.

To some extent, Bain would have some responsibility for the predicament that man found himself in with no healthcare but because so much time had passed, not 100% and maybe far from it depending on how one looks at it.

But this GOP candidate wants to get rid of Obamacare. And it seemed to take his poor PR person's gaffe of honest expression to get that second point of the ad across to more of the media.

Healthcare is a gigantic issue for this election. Whether Bain was involved or not, the lack of healthcare may well have cost that man his wife. That is hardly an unfair point to make in this election. According to that Harvard or MIT study, 49,000 people have been dying annually because of a lack of health care (that's flirting with 16 911s per year). Mitt Romney wants to return to that until the individual states get around to doing something about it - which we already know won't happen with most states controlled by the GOP.

Back to loyalkydem's post, we too have lost members to cancer. I'm so sorry for your losses.
