    where in the world did romney tell the person to
    Romney to Patient – Die quickly?????  he answered his questions. he refused to answer the last 1 because he knew that this was a set up and was really an issue not even worth answering.

    If a Dr. allows him to use marijuana why would he be arrested. Do any of you think that if this young man had this same situation romney would approve of his arrest????

    That is insane. he just refused to let this be used as a soundbite and you still posted it as lies. Your heading has nothing to do with this at all.

      Stop wasting your time.  Even up here in ledt-wing Canada we know you can’t get anywhere with people incapable of any reasoning.  Why dignify these idiotic articles and the dolts who write them??

    Wow, what an utter and blatant manipulation of the facts. As another commenter suggested, where does he tell the guy to die quickly? And, I love how one of the tags you add is “bigotry”. How is this a bigoted position by Mr. Romney? Agree or disagree with Romney’s position (and I disagree with him on this one) stick to the facts. Twisting them and sensationalizing them to fit your bias is pathetic.

      I’m not manipulating anything – I’m showing the video, people can judge for themselves.
      If it’s your judgement that, rather than die quickly, Romney would prefer for the patient a long lingering and painful death while he refused medication, well you may be right.

    One way in which the capitalist class accumulates wealth is through the extraction of surplus value provided by the worker’s labor, and this is the most well-known way.  But another way in which capital accumulation takes place is through the process of “accumulation by dispossession”, aka primitive accumulation.  The not atypical process of dispossessing people of their earnings as wage laborers over a lifetime through the medical care system in the US is a good example of this dispossession in action.
