My brother-in-law and his wife are both morbidly obese, have diabetes; she suffers chronic back pain; he had two heart attacks. He is 55, wheelchair-bound, she is a little younger, bed-bound.

They are voting for ROMNEY! Does PRE-EXISTING CONDITION mean anything to them? Their answers are flippant- they are in denial.

They hate him so badly because of his race they are actually going out and voting against themselves.
