Politics • July 2012 • Views: 2,030

JERUSALEM — Mitt Romney held an intimate breakfast fundraiser here Monday with some of his campaign’s biggest benefactors, telling them about the spiritual impact his trip to Israel had had on him.

Seated around a U-shaped conference table with roughly 40 donors, with Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson immediately to his left, Romney said he was ‘overwhelmingly impressed with the hand of providence.’

Mitt only took in $1 mil. What a piker that Sheldon is.

When I think of the hand of providence I always think of casinos.

Romney separately noted that Israel — which has universal health care — spends just 8 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, while the United States spends 18 percent. “We have to find ways,” he said, “not just to provide health care to more people, but to find ways to [fund] and manage our health-care costs.”

Yeah, let's maybe copy Israel's system! I'd like to have universal health care at a cost of 8% of GDP rather than our patchwork healthcare system that costs more than twice as much but doesn't even cover everybody!

So when he was at the Western Wall he received a vision from Joseph Smith Jr.?

Then Mitt said "I've heard about a program in Massachusetts that covered all the citizens an..........." Then his software overheated and he blurted out "How about Sheldon? What a patriot!"

It's great that Israel does it cheap, but if we did that, it would be socialism. And lead to death panels.
