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
