Ann Romney: ‘Our Struggles Have Not Been Financial’

[Moonwalk]

47. There she goes, playing the MS card again!

I feel very bad for people with MS because of how Ann is making them look.

Thing is, she's right. It's awful to be ill, and it affects everyone in a family; and she is right in the fact that wealth can't buy you health and there is a measure of equality in that. But what she doesn't seem to understand is that her argument rings hollow so long as she is supporting a husband who is ready to take away health care and medicare from others.

If her MS really was so terrible, so devastating, so much a lesson in how hard life can be, and that we all must have a "heart"--then why is Romney backing down on the one thing that would have proved this? His health care law? Why is Romney going to put an end to Medicare if he has a heart and knows what it is to deal with someone with an illness and he wants that to be as easy as possible for every American?

No matter how Ann slices it, her being ill isn't going to gain her sympathy so long as her husband is acting against those who are equally ill, but not equally wealthy.
