Romney Vetos Kosher Meals To Elderly

[Truthseeker420]

Balser and others describe the vetoes — nearly 800 in all — that Romney wielded during his governorship as evidence that puts the lie to his campaign’s bipartisan claims.

“The one I was most closely involved in was Romney’s rejection of funding for kosher meals in nursing homes. It applied to only a few hundred people; there wasn’t a huge amount of money involved,” Balser said.

“We saw it as a question of religious freedom and appealed to Romney on that basis, thinking he would surely come around. But his veto stood — and we eventually were able to use the Massachusetts supermajority to overturn his decision.”

I got a feeling Romney is the kinda guy that would send pork dinners to starving Muslims.

Did you read it? it wouldn't have cost that much and social security is not "your money" people work hard for THEIR money.

Beggars can't be choosers. Didn't your mother teach you that?!

it wouldn't have cost that much...

My goodness how many times have we heard that?! Pretty soon, all the programs and entitlements that 'don't cost much' end up costing a whole hell of a lot.

If the cost was so minor, certainly charity could step in and you wouldn't have to forcibly take the money to fund it.

It would cost a lot less money than Romney has saved with his tax avoidance.

Correct, you have the choice to accept charity or not. You seem to believe you have the choice to take what doesn't belong to you. Who taught you that?!

There wasn't any detail about the bill in the article. Did it also include funding for halal meals for Muslims? How about ahimsa meals for Hindus? I-tal meals for Rastafarians? Lacto-ovo meals for 7th Day Adventists?

If not, why should he have signed a bill giving preference to a single religion? Doesn't that violate the separation of church & state?

Non sequitur. Try to focus...

That said, apparently the IRS disagrees with you. But you know better, right?

right , and a person has a choice between being caring or being inhumane.

A $trillion here, a $trillion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.

Correct. Being charitable is demonstrating you care. Feel free to give until it hurts.

Stealing from others, regardless of what you do with the money, is inhumane.

How exactly was Romney vetoing Social Security?

There's nothing "humane" or "caring" about using force to take money from innocent third parties to fund your causes.

There is nothing caring or moral about me taking $20 out of your wallet and giving it to the beggar on the corner.

How much of Romney's income do you feel entitled to?
