So far, the Pacific Research Institute’s Sally Pipes reports, monthly premiums average $380, not $200, as Romney forecast. The program may cost taxpayers an extra $276.4 million this year, more than double its original $125.4 million estimated expense.

That's why I posted this. I don't care for Mitt or Rudy for the primary.

Deroy’s second Pimp-My-RINO column in a row that bashes Mitt while trying to put a shine on Rudy. At the rate Deroy’s going with his blatant electioneering, he’s gonna be subject to McCain-Feingold restrictions.

Personal income advanced 18.2 percent during Romney’s days, while it accelerated 49.9 percent during Giuliani time.

Boy, talk about a stinker. Rudy was in office twice as long as Mitt, so a percentage comparision is absurd. And Mitt entered office as the country was coming out of a recession.

Another pimp-my-RINO column from our buddy Deroy “I wanna hump Rudy’s leg” Murdock.

Myth? At least Mitt took on the toughest issues in the most liberal state in the nations and grappled with them long and hard.

How does FRed compare? FRed's pathetic and underwhelming record of executive accomplishment doesn't even rise to the level of farce. Apart from the gang rape of the first amendment that he perpetrated with his mentor and best FRiend John McCain, you could print all of FRed's record of significant accomplishments on the back of a postage stamp.

Neither do I. I will not vote for a RINO...period.

Apple to Apple comparisons are not so easy to do. But at least this attack on Romney comes from a conservative source. Attacks on Romney from the Boston Globe and the New York Times, as I’ve often seen on FreeRepublic, have their own credibility problems. It’s kind of like when George Stephenopolous or James Carville give “advice” to Republicans on “what they should do to win.”

When it comes to endorsements that mean anything to me, there is Ann Coulter. She liked Romney, then later voiced preference to Hunter. Sometime, I hope to hear Thomas Sowell’s opinion. In the mean time, I suggest we respect Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment and not speak ill of Republicans. After all, some Republican will be running against Hillary and he will have all some amount of negative baggage that was generated by conservatives. Just a thought. :)

During his entire tenure as governor of Massachusetts Romney had a veto proof RAT majority in both houses of the state legislature.He had,in fact,little real power while in office.

FRed will never be attacked in this manner. Apart from McCain-Feingold, he has no substantial accomplishments of any kind to even scrutinize let alone attack.

That FRed. He's brilliant. Here, some of us thought that his bankruptcy of accomplishments was due to his legendary laziness. But it turns out he planned it that way to avoid attacks! He was just being visionary and cunning.

How's FRed liking that water? Feeling good . . . feeling warm . . . . a little warmer . . . maybe . . . . maybe now . . . . no, wait little longer . . . . just a little longer . . . swish the water a little with his pinky toe. . . . oooooh! Feeling better all the time . . . not quite there . . . . give it time . . . . don't rush it . . . . give it time . . . . squeeze it through the toesies . . . . mmmmmmmmm . . . . almost warm enough . . . . . .

Yes sir, FRed's fixin' to fall out of bed and into the race any year now.

Deroy Murdock is an ABSOLUTE tool. He needs to resign and campaign for Rudy full-time.

Lots of hit pieces on Romney today. The Dems are getting worried.

To me, Mitt seems like Rudy-lite within the primary race. Mitt did a nice job in Massachusetts, but Rudy’s impact on NYC is a much more significant story. Both are more moderate than the rest of the field. Both come from Blue state areas. Both are excellent public speakers, which is important for our candidate. Mitt has a clear edge on social conservatism over Rudy which probably makes him more palatable to primary voters. To me, if we do not have a straight line conservative candidate, I am going to prefer the one that has the most significant achievements in their last job. Rudy’s turn around of NYC is nothing short of spectacular. A great number of people in this nation recognize that. I like Mitt too, but feel a little uncomfortable with his shift rightward. I know where Rudy stands on issues, whether I agree or not.
