Seriously - a birther calling someone else "crazy lady" is sorta the acme of lack of self-awareness

You still fail to mention any objection to selling a horse that proved to be doped up on three painkillers and a tranquilizer. Just wondering: to you think that was wrong?

That's right, eager conservatives of Derby Trail: the Romney's had a chronically lame horse, unridden for 2 1/2 years, which they magically sold as "sound" (while filled with four painkillers, failed drug test) for $125,000, which is $25K more than they paid for the horse.

But the Romney's knew nothing at all about their lame horse. And if you keep calling people that bring it up "crazy" (you know, unlike birthers and truthers), you can probably convince yourself this means nothing at all.

Quote:
Romney maintained that the horse was sound when she sold him in February 2008. She was reluctant to part with him but was certain she'd found the right buyer in Norris, a former physical therapist who aspired to ride the animal in upper-level dressage competitions.

"I wanted him to go to a happy home," Romney testified. "She was so happy with the horse."

But Norris claimed she'd been misled about the horse's condition, and on April 28, 2010, sued Romney for fraud. She also sued the Ebelings, who took a commission from the sale, and the veterinarian who gave the horse a clean bill of health. The case settled last September.

The horse, now 15, was moved to a barn in San Marcos after surgery and other costly medical therapy. "He is to be permanently retired to pasture," Norris asserted in the court record. "He cannot be ridden and obviously has no future as a dressage horse."

The Romney campaign would not allow interviews with Romney, the Ebelings or Romney's attorney. Super Hit's owner could not be reached.

Romney's lawyers wanted to keep the case out of the public eye. In December 2010, one of her attorneys sent a letter to Robyn Ranke, the attorney for Norris, expressing dismay that Ranke refused to sign a confidentiality agreement.

"You can be assured we are not going to give any records … to the L.A. Times," replied Ranke, "and are at a loss as to why you would even suggest such a thing."
