I know I said I was going to leave the mindless BS to others and I meant it….but then someone had to open their mouth and show their ignorance

We all have heard how Mitt’s visit to London was a disaster……he managed to piss off a bunch of people….and then it was on to Israel and keeping with the GOP tradition of never criticizing Israel on any front he made yet another blunder….yes I said blunder…….

(Newser) – Mitt Romney simply cannot wait to repeal ObamaCare, but he is a fan of Israel’s health care system … which has been socialized since its founding in 1948, BuzzFeed points out. During his visit to the country, Romney today praised Israel for spending so little on health care: “Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the GDP in Israel? Eight percent,” Romney said at a fundraiser. “You spend 8% of GDP on health care. You’re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18% of our GDP on health care. Ten percentage points more. … Our gap with Israel is 10 points of GDP. We have to find ways—not just to provide health care to more people, but to find ways to find and manage our health care costs.” Click for more on how Israel’s system works, or more on Romney’s adventuresin the Middle East.

Let me help everyone out on this issue….in Israel……

I know that you may think this is nothing….but it is….it is called SOCIALIZED MEDICINE…….did our man in the GOP know what he was saying or is he just that dense?
