Mitt turns back on patient who asks about medical marijuana.


From Raw Story:

At a campaign stop in Dover, NH, Mitt Romney was asked about medical marijuana by Clayton Holton, who has muscular dystrophy. "I have the support of five of my doctors saying I am living proof that medical marijuana works," Holton told Romney.

Romney suggested he use synthetic marijuana instead, but Holton said, "I have tried it and it makes me throw up."

He then asked, "Will you arrest me and my doctors if I get medical marijuana?"
"I'm not in favor of medical marijuana being legal," Romney told Holton curtly, then deliberately turned his back on him to say "Hi, how are you" to other members of the audience.

Mitt just showed he doesn't represent all Ameericans just the rich and big business. Now we know the minorities aren't going to be represented by Mitt he thinks they are all immigrants. Yes Clarence Thomas will be doing alot more crying if Mitt gets in Office.

What an uncaring ass.

I know a very, very shy woman who met Hillary when she was the First Lady. She wouldn't do that.

At the very least, Oven Mitt should have said something about supporting medical research (which helps out the rich pharmaceutical companies) and that he hoped medical research would find new ways of easing the guy's suffering.

Oh, from yesterday's post. I bet Cuban doctors can do some specialized eye surgeries. For many types of eye surgeries, the U.S. did not lead, the Soviet Union/Russia leads. No doubt there was some cross-country training involved.

In regards to medical tourism, geez, our U.S. students are falling behind in medical schools. India trains more and more of 'our' doctors, going there is just getting treated at the source.

(Just don't tell Baloneybitch, he'll be sending me to India for treatment to save the state a buck or two so his political connections can keep their six-figure jobs).

He might do that, kittybowtie, even to save a buck. Vet doctors have problem like the medical doctors. And it is a shame that the medical field here is in shambles because of outsourcing.

Yeah, Mitt is an ass. And that is why he will be hosed if he gets the nomination for Prez. He can't relate to common everyday folks. And he cannot bring himself to put his ego aside. He lost a vote from this guy and he lost another one from the NH waitress in which he ignored her questions concerning healthcare.
