Rush Limbaugh On Romneycare Defense: A ‘Goldmine’ For Obama
Add Rush Limbaugh to the growing list of conservatives who are completely shocked by Team Romney’s latest move to defend itself by touting Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health care law.
Limbaugh was literally left sputtering as he contemplated the Romney response.
Limbaugh’s criticism came just hours after political observers of all stripes were stopped dead in their tracks by Team Romney’s defense against a Democratic super PAC ad that all but accuses Romney of facilitating a woman’s death after Bain Capital shut down the steel mill her husband worked at, thereby denying the family of health insurance.
In two separate appearances on Fox News, Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul dismissed the ad and said that under Romney’s Massachusetts health care law — which Romney has repeatedly promised to strip away from the country as a whole if he’s elected president — the woman would still have insurance.
Conservatives went nuts, including Limbaugh.
“Andrea Saul’s appearance on Fox was a potential gold mine for Obama supporters,” he said. “They can say, ‘Romneycare was the basis for our health care.’”
I don’t know the people at the Romney campaign but I’m gonna tell you…your candidate is accused of killing a woman because … this isn’t about health insurance! They’re out there saying that your guy killed this woman! and your answer is well she’d of had health insurance if she lived in Massachusetts.
Here’s the full segment from Rush’s show, clipped for TPM by Media Matters:

LOL, me either.
I agree that Romney (and/or team) completely blew this. I can think of several answers to that question, besides the one given.
Golly, which of the candidates should I blame because my husband's cobra ran out? Not moving to MA. :-)

We all knew that RomneyCare was going to be a problem but I doubt many people saw this coming. She actually said that in response to an ad which was patently disingenuous. There are so many good answers to that ad but to say that the woman would have had insurance had she lived in Massachusetts is just way way weird.....even though it's true......she would have had insurance if she lived there.

Gotta go with Rush on this... the Romney'camps actions are a bit odd as of late.
Are they throwing this election on purpose?
And I can't blame Romney of his staff for this. If he IS indeed throwing this election, the order had to have come directly from GOP headquarters*
I wish it weren't the case, but from all appearances, the Right has yet again failed to produce a viable candidate, and they know it.
*the GOP headquarters, in case anyone is curious, is located beneath your feet, in Hades, and the party is lead by Beelzebub himself

As a wise man once said:
It's those damn facts! They just refuse to go away, and keep getting in the way of the lies. It's just not...not fair.

I have nothing to say with it overall because I agree with Rush. But not Romney, it was his staff.
LOL, Romney.... The gift that keeps on giving....
