I know it's not fair but I hold you to a higher standard than most politicians. You have the gospel. You hold the Priesthood. I tried so hard not to say anything bad about you during the campaign. I'm sure you are a good man/husband/father/grandfather. I didn't really have anything against you, just your policies, and that's never stopped me from being friends with people before. If I decided to not be friend with anyone who believes in trickle-down economics. I'd have approximately 5 friends, and only one in my faith. But this?
“With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest was a big gift,” Mr. Romney said. “Free contraceptives were very big with young, college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents’ plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008.”
The president’s health care plan, he said, was also a useful tool in mobilizing black and Hispanic voters. Though Mr. Romney won the white vote with 59 percent, according to exit polls, minorities coalesced around the president in overwhelming numbers: 93 percent of blacks and 71 percent of Hispanics.
“You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year, being told you’re now going to get free health care, particularly if you don’t have it, getting free health care worth, what, $10,000 per family, in perpetuity — I mean, this is huge,” Mr. Romney said. “Likewise with Hispanic voters, free health care was a big plus. But in addition with regards to Hispanic voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids, was a huge plus for that voting group.”
That higher standard? I expect you to have dignity, whether you're winning or loosing. Has it ever occurred to you that those who believe in the Affordable Care Act do so because they believe that every child of God deserves health care? I enjoy paying my taxes. Do people abuse tax money? Of course, and they always will. But I still enjoy paying my taxes because I know that some people actually need welfare/medicare/social security/health insurance and I'd much rather make sure that those that need help get it, and pay for the moochers as well, then cut everyone off. I feel blessed that I have a job that provides me with my own insurance and the financial ability to pay taxes. I didn't vote for President Obama because of the what he could offer me, but what he can offer others, because that is important to me. So suck it up Willard!
