Related: About this forumGov. Romney opposed kosher meals for poor Jewish nursing home residents
This was in the NY Post a few days ago, but this is the first I've seen of it. It show's Mitt's heartless, insensitive treatment of not only the poor in nursing homes, but of their religion.
At the time, Romney said he nixed the funding of about $5 per day because it unnecessarily would lead to an increased rate for nursing facilities even as kosher nursing homes were complaining that state-funding-formula changes could force them to close their kitchens.
I was outraged, Jeffrey Goldshine, the retired CEO of a company that operated a kosher facility in Massachusetts, told The Post yesterday.
For the elderly Jewish residents of a nursing home that have always been kosher they should be entitled to continue.

(135,425 posts)There are more than a few Jewish voters in FL ( a surprising number of them once voted for Pat Buchanan...no, wait...that was election shenanigans!).
In any event, I'll bet they'll be interested in this story.

When asked, Newt said "I have no idea what you are talking about".
The one thing that makes me suspicious is mentioning "holocaust survivors". It wasn't needed for that call, to say the least.

(30,251 posts)He is a nasty person and that is aside from his politics. He is such a megalomaniac that he doesn't care if he tears down his own party.
