Tagg Romney blocks hospice from being built

When the town of Belmont, Mass., needed money, it put a parcel of land up for sale to raise funds. Integra Medical Properties approached the town's Board of Selectmen, seeking to purchase the land to build a residential-style hospice facility. Tagg Romney left his father's campaign in August to head to Belmont and implore the board to prevent the facility from being built.

In the video, Tagg Romney expresses concern for property values if non-residential properties are allowed to be built and suggests that he and other residents may be forced to seek property relief if the property values on their houses decline.


What Tagg Romney only briefly mentions is that he also bid on the land when it first went up for sale. That time, he wasn't so opposed to non-residential buildings, as he and others were hoping to build a Mormon Temple. But other residents objected and Mitt Romney spoke up in favor of the plan.

In the case of the Romneys, it appears that when a religious facility for your faith goes up in the neighborhood, it's a win. But when a facility that benefits others is to be built, it's a drain on property values. Tagg's ultimate motivation for fighting the hospice proposal remains unknown; whether it was a sudden change of heart on the question of non-residential usage of the land or just plain spite – even when the losers in this equation are terminal patients who want to die in peace.

1. Tagg....... your "it"

[LibGranny]

22. you forgot the first two letters before "it" -

that would be SH

[Honeycombe8]

30. IT

[Voice for Peace]

42. ooh he is a scary combination

of mittenann

[Honeycombe8]

46. Ha!

Does "mittenan" mean Mitt and Ann? I haven't heard that before.

Do you know who the clown is? The scary evil character "IT" from Stephen King's novel of the same name (and movie of the same name).

[Voice for Peace]

48. I was struck by something that seemed horrible leaping out of his face

I looked, and I saw Mitt, but all of a sudden he became Ann,
and it frightened me.
LOL.. I am not familiar with IT but I understand a lot of people
have childhood clown terrors. I must have been lucky on that
end.

2. Rmoney Jr, same as Rmoney Sr

and the rest of the fetid clan

what a bunch of fucking losers - I hope they all enjoy their stay on Romulan or whatever the fairy tale planet is

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. Interesting. sounds like a revenge deal. I can see Romney as someone like that, for sure. nt

[montanacowboy]

5. Yeh, if they can't have it no one can

such a pathetic bunch of losers

[tanyev]

4. Those people can just go sit in an emergency room while they are dying.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Like father like son

Both dickheads who only care about $$$$$

[WinkyDink]

7. I'll take "Spite" for $400, Alex.

[Mopar151]

8. It's the possible hospice staff that scares him

The Boston area is heavily Balkanized in terms of race and class. An LPN from 3 towns away might as well be from Iran to the Romnneys.

[spanone]

9. apple...fall...far...tree

[Panasonic]

10. Anyone named Romney and are in fact Williard, Ann or the spawn of those two idiots

are forever barred from getting what they want.

Belmont should say "Fuck you, Tagg, and fucking move if you don't like what we're trying to do" - and give the land for the hospice.

Hell, build it in smack dab in the middle of Romney's properties, after eminent domain seizure in the name of public needs.

Oh, and all hospitals and hospices should forever bar Rmoney from getting assisted care.

Oh, and zero support from the medical or the nursing community when it comes to Rmoney's turn for their needs.

Rmoney will have to pay tens of millions just to get someone to look at his acne on his ass now.

Rmoney's personal doctor should resign effective immediately.

[WinkyDink]

11. "Hospice? Let them go to the ER!"

[Initech]

12. Sigh - it appears every member of that family is a complete sociopath.

[gopiscrap]

13. That whole family is full of fucking assholes!!!!

[Angry Dragon]

14. The shit does not fall far from the asshole ..........

[WinkyDink]

16. OMG. I hate that I didn't think of that first!

[Angry Dragon]

19. You may pass it along if you wish

[WinkyDink]

56. Already have! :-)

[matt819]

15. We in the reality-based world

would call this hypocrisy.

[Frustratedlady]

17. If there wasn't a sign, they probably wouldn't know it was a Hospice.

Those selfish, insensitive people should never be allowed in the White House.

[backscatter712]

18. The asshole doesn't fall far from the tree... n/t

[Berlum]

20. Freaking elitist Republicons

crapping all over the dying....soooo republican

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. And here he is...

[Marie Marie]

27. Jeebus. Do all the Romney men look as stiff and plastic as a Ken doll?

His quote above is truly barf worthy. I mean really people, can you imagine living that close to dying people? If he had known, he would have built his house miles away from that unpleasantness, No wonder the uber rich have their own special section in Hell.

[Astazia]

23. BEYOND DISGUSTING

Tagg you're it! Beyond disgusting...

Anyone who has been to a hospice to be with loved ones, know how dignity & peaceful loving care resides in these special places. Hospices are a good place to see spirit in action! I have been able to help friends pass over & the warmth, love, and dignity are second to none. I am not religious, but I am spiritual. Hospices bring out the spiritual in all of us...believers or not...it's all good there. (shout out to "Our House" in Portland, OR.)

People like the Rmoney's need their gated communities...that way they can stay away from those who don't want to be near that kind of cold callousness that they all exude! I never thought I'd say this line but "you people" are the coldest most manipulative uncaring family that I've ever seen running for the highest office in the land. Tagg is a product of his thumb your nose down at all but those like themselves. Sad shit.

[CindyinIndy]

24. How can these assholes sleep at night?

As my Mom used to say,"Some people weren't raised, they were jerked up by the hair of the head".

[renate]

32. lol!

Welcome to DU!

[Zoeisright]

25. There's more of that "compassionate conservative" in action.

Just like "giant shrimp", or "smart republican".

[JNelson6563]

26. That apple didn't fall far from the tree.

[Lasher]

28. I didn't know Mitt had relatives from Alaska

[JohnnyRingo]

29. Selfish greed is hereditary?

I don't believe there's such a gene, so he's actually a product of his environment.

One more reason his selfish greedmongering dad can't be president.

[aquart]

49. We need to tax the rich to improve their ethical environment.

It'll be good for them.

[haele]

55. Weird - the Mittster's parents were very progressive -

Pro-Labor, Pro-Choice, Pro-Civil Rights, Pro-public Education, Pro-opportunities. A hospice would have been the sort of thing they would have supported.
Must have been a throw-back gene from a parent back in the pre-flight to Mexico times.
Or perhaps the sociopath gene skipped a generation with George.

Haele

[Blue_Tires]

57. George Allen was a progressive football coach for his era, too

was very high on "the best players play regardless of race", among other things...

And look at how his piece-of-shit son turned out...

31. HEY TAGGY

[valerief]

33. That's one sleazoholic family. nt

[kitt6]

34. Romney Mormonism =

the Devil?

[benld74]

35. A Mormon Temple is EVERY town!

[LynneSin]

36. Let's us all pray the family political dynasty ends with Mitt

I don't want to see any more Romneys running for office.

[beac]

37. I hope when Tagg's time comes, he dies alone and afraid.

[Doctor_J]

50. And in agony

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

38. Tagg... another dick.

[mehrrh]

39. real estate deceit

A chip off the ol' block, eh?
It's OK to build a Mormon temple, but not OK to build a hospice facility.
Hypocrisy -- it runs in the family.

[Skittles]

40. he was handed 20 million dollars

and he STILL worries about money - what a fucking ASSHOLE

[WestWisconsinDem]

41. What is it with names republicans give their children?

Tag, Trig, Trak, Mitt,...

[CrazyOrangeCat]

51. Yeah, what's with that??

Grog, Grag, Frap, Bipp, Twerb??

[WestWisconsinDem]

52. Haha, I like those five better

Downright Zappa-esque!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

53. yes!

Shame he didn't live long enough to write MORMON GIRLS...

[oldsarge54]

43. How do you spell Learch's groan (from addams family)?

Property values over human values. And this scion of the new gilded age surprises us because....

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

44. The Wrath of the Tightwads

The heroic Son of Stench saves the noble property values from the evil town seeking a source of funding. Release the Kraken.

[CoffeeCat]

45. You can't roll down the windows on a hospice

Someone really needs to do something about that!

[dmr]

54. Ok, my monitor is now splattered with coffee.

[DearHeart]

47. What a prick!

Complain about sick, dying people having a decent, comfortable place to DIE, because of the property values might go down? It's not a fuckin half-way house! These people have no souls!! I don't care how much they "give" to charity...they're a bunch of sociopaths!! And, I don't think the good deed counts when your church forces you to give a certain percentage of income. Charity should come from your heart and soul and it should be about kindness and compassion. These assholes don't seem to have been born with either trait!
