I Can't Stand Romney.

[Pressing-On]

Welcome to Obamacare!

Santorum: “What Governor Romney just said is that government-run top-down medicine is working pretty well in Massachusetts, and he supports it. Now, think about what that means — going up against Barack Obama…you are going to claim, well, top-down government-run medicine on the federal level doesn’t work, and we should repeal it. And he’s going to say, wait a minute, Governor. You just said that top-down government-run medicine in Massachusetts works well. Folks, we can’t give this issue away in this election. It is about fundamental freedom.”


Romney: (referring to individual mandate) “We are insisting on personal responsibility.”

Santorum: “Does everybody in Massachusetts have a requirement to buy health care?”

Romney: “Everyone has a requirement to either buy it or pay the state for the cost of providing them free care.”

Santorum: “Just so I understand this, in Massachusetts, everybody is mandated as a condition of breathing in Massachusetts, to buy health insurance, and if you don’t, and if you don’t, you have to pay a fine.”

Romney: “First of all, it's not worth getting angry about.”

Romney said he will repeal Obamacare, and I believe he has character and will do what he says. I understand the position he was in as governor of a very liberal state.

Think about it, he could have pursued a liberal political career, but he like Ronald Reagan has chosen to become a conservative and to fight for the future of our country. He is not a liberal, he has been conservative and wise in money matters, he gives hugely to charity and his church. His values are deeply enbedded. He is the very best suited for our country at this time, I believe he has a backbone to do the right things.

We have had "conservatives of convenience" in the past. Romney is settled, he has made his fortune and can therefore be his own person to do what is right. BTW: He will not try to convert the country to Mormonism!! LOL

Norm Coleman, a prominent advisor to Romney:

"We’re not going to do repeal. You’re not going to repeal Obamacare… It’s not a total repeal... You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president... You can't whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what's been done."

This may be a good end result for many of the stakeholders and the politicians involved. As for the American people, well, that’s a different story.

I've never said anything about his Mormonism. That doesn't make any difference to me. But, please don't call him a Conservative.

You can demonize anyone by sound bites taken out of context. All four contenders say they will repeal, Obamacare.

Does your state mandate auto insurance? Yes, do you want to repeal that law? No, and neither do want to relegate it to the federal government.

New Hampshire is a very liberal state and run 85% by the Democrats, a conservation governor in that state is very limited in what he can do.
