It is not “socialist” health care. It was an attempt to do something about the uninsured “free riders” who were bankrupting hospitals and/or forcing the insured to pick up the costs, and to head of socialized medicine.
He left all the provision of services and insurance in the private sector.
Your crude vitriol is quite amusing. Amusing, because I really wonder what makes you think you are qualified to pass judgment on someone of Romney’s caliber. I have not agreed with Mitt on everything. But you can hardly call him “worthless.” He is extremely intelligent and accomplished and has lived an upright life. In fact, of all the major candidates — including Sarah — he has lived the most “conservative” life. His wife wasn’t pregnant when they got married, all his grandchildren have been born in wedlock. There has never been a hint of scandal around him, either in his personal behavior or business dealings.
But, go ahead with you name-calling if it boosts your own self-esteem.
That’s “head off socialized medicine.”
Perhaps I'm not qualified to pass judgment on him, but JimRob sure is.
Nothing I've said about the worthless liberal puke hasn't been said before here, many times!
Well how about that...
LL, in one simple, some what out of the way sentence you have summed up the entire issue with Mitt, and his supporters, and have answered the question of why those who assume to wear the guise of Conservatives seem to support him...
Yes, who are "we" to pass judgment on a politician as great as Mitt Romney.
"We", the "we" you refer to, are the same "we" that the founding fathers referred to over 200 years age. We are "The People", the people that Mitt wants to SERVE, not be served by.
That such a concept has escaped you, and other Romney folks as it appears it has, explains much.
Forgetting or glossing over the Constitution and other founding documents and their significance, and worse perhaps tossing them aside, is what the "other side" does.
So perhaps you, and your fellow Romney supporters (and any others) understand why we, the "inmates" approach with at least some contempt your efforts.
This "we", the 20-30% of "The People" remember where we came from and how we got to be the greatest nation on Earth. We will be the ones, the carriers of the torch on the life raft that shall remain just off shore, awaiting the day when the rest of "the people" wake up, and if it is possible, and God in his Heaven knows I pray it to be so, we will be able to reignite the fire started over two centuries ago.
I've said some stupid stuff here on FR....
So that being said....would you care to retract or further explain your thinking here?
But, go ahead with you name-calling if it boosts your own self-esteem.
WOW! What a sterling example of
And don't think Romney doesn't have the same attitude.
Governor Palin wasn’t a strong spokesman for abortion for much of her life and she isn’t married to a pro abortion spouse and she isn’t a compulsive liar like the man that makes so many false claims about his family and even his personal life.
When a person makes up stories like I own a gun, lifetime hunter, watched dad march with MLK, was just out of school when church ended racism in 1978, and so on it shows an incredible lack of character, the very fact that his family has a perfect tradition of refusing to serve the U. S. in the military, including not even one of those five boys of his, his arrogance in regards to his sanctuary mansion, his total and immediate reversing of positions, his personal attack against Ronald Reagan, all of these are signs of a deeply vain and self obsessed man that is missing part of his personality.
People have a deep sense that something is fundamentally wrong with Mitt Romney, that is one reason why he couldn’t run for reelection in the only office that he has ever held.
Your boy is one sick puppy.
We are a nation of equals. You see, in America there is no royalty that is deemed beyond our judgement. You have judged Romney - and judged him to be our better - and so it seems you think yourself capable of “judging” him, yet you think that we are incapable of judging him. Again I ask, “superior, much?” [ejonesie22]
Exactly, Ejon...how elitist could LL's comment get?
"We", the "we" you refer to, are the same "we" that the founding fathers referred to over 200 years age. We are "The People", the people that Mitt wants to SERVE, not be served by. [ejonesie22]
'Tis the very problem we're seeing in politicians mortgaging generations to come by having a taxpayer $ giveaway fire sale. (They forget that "we the people" employ our civil servants -- it's not the other way around. 'Tis "the people" who review their employees -- not the other way around).
So may I encourage you, Lady Lawyer, to stop reinforcing this notion that voters aren't to evaluate & assess politicians both before and after "the people" hire them!
Amusing, because I really wonder what makes you think you are qualified to pass judgment on someone of Romney’s caliber.

Oh brother. Romney’s caliber? ROFL. His caliber is smaller than a .22 LR.
And not all uninsured are “free riders”. Some people would rather pay their own way rather than give more money to an insurance company then they will use in medical care.
You just swoon over Romney because he is Mormon.
