They can excuse anything he does. This one they’ll claim is the rodent legislature’s fault (because, as we all know, it’s always everyone else’s fault but Joe Isuzu Romney’s).

[cva66snipe]

Uh Excuse me senator Thompson but who as a U.S. senator went yearly to HCFA to secure funding {waivers} for Hillary Care or Tenncare {Al and Hillary’s Medicaid program} in Tennessee. First it was Gore and Matthews IIRC then it was you Mr Thompson and also Mr Frist. I would not trust Fred on health care as far as I could see him. Fred could have helped stop a mad man RINO governor. Instead he enebled him.

Thanks for posting.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Clintonian. That’s Joe Isuzu Romney in one word.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

More and more news is coming out that Mitt’s campaign was guilty of this sleaze/gutter politics.

[Mojave]

A press release is news. How do you think all these lazy worthless so called journalists get their garbage?

Rip and read 99% of the time.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

But Mitt had the veto pin.

-—Hello, did we not watch the debate last night. Fred called for more options where one should be able to buy their healthcare insurance from whoever the HELL they want.-—

Funny, that’s part of the Romney solution in Mass, deregulation. You can buy from whom you want.

Wake up!

[Fred]

I am flatter, but alas, am not the Great One.

This plays right into Fred's Federalism

The dipstick fed govt forces mandates on the state regarding medicare...guess what...THEY WANT THE STATES TO COVER IT!!!

They can go right to Algore's favor global warming place. If they want it mandated then they sure as hell can pay for it too.

[BusterBear]

My gut instinct, I don't trust Mitt at all.

Me neither. He's already started to backtrack on foreign policy - since he saw that Bush bashing didn't cost Huckabee votes in Iowa.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fred stop Scumquist ? With what ? You have an odd expectation for what a federal Senator was supposed to do with a state Governor. And TennCare was the brainchild of rodent Gov. McWherter.

[claudiustg]

They aren’t interested in any disturbing reality. This Fred here!

[MrPiper]

Just go to the emergency room and say: No Habla English, My chest hurts. Free medical :-)

[Bull Market]

“Until the hospital closes, because of bankruptsy.”

FUD used by libs to justify tax hikes.

“Until the charges cleaned them out.”

I’m not sure what you’re inferring, but that is dangerously close to playing with the class warfare garbage that Huckabee and god knows how many liberals play with.

[teledude]

But, heh, maybe if we ignore it, it’ll go away!

You do realize this is the liberal argument for all liberal programs don't you?

If you oppose the liberal way, you hate children, you want people to go without healthcare,etc., blah, blah, blah.

There are some very good conservative "fixes" to the health care problems (brought on by too much government interfering in the first place.) You are NOT helping with this type of reply.

Hopefully he’s sincere in saying the states should create their own. But even that bothers me since he’s basically encouraging each state to adopt socialism.

And he said in the debate last night he wouldn't make it a mandate at the federal level but he WOULD spend federal taxpayer dollars to reward States that adopted these mandates.

Its all on film.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Veto pen was worthless because he did nothing to stop their (rodent party) increase in numbers in the legislature. He was grossly incompetent and less than worthless as a Governor and party leader. Thanks to him and his mentor William Weld, until the GOP substantially expands their presence in the MA General Court, there’s no longer any point for a Republican to be elected Governor of the state.

[Ghengis]

way to deflect the topic! Someone got caught planting a phony story. How Clintonian.

I'll live with a press release with a candidate's name attached versus the whisper campaign Romney's camp did Thompson dirty with on the eve of the Iowa Caucus. Romney has shown himself to be a weasel with that stunt.

[commish]

MY wife is about as a-political as one can get. In other words she ignores politics as much as possible and relies on me near election day.

Still, every once in a while she sees someone on TV and makes a comment.

She saw Romney on Fox today, her exact words "Who is that creep? He looks and sounds like a used car salesman."

The only other person she has commented on was after seeing Fred on Fox Sunday a few months ago. Her response then, "Wow, whoever that is needs to run for President. he would wipe the floor with Hillary's ass."

[mylife]

The more the government is involved, the higher the prices are. That’s a universal truth.

You nailed that!
