Romney Urges Republicans to 'Stand Up' to Obama's Policies [as he extols the virtues of Romney Care]
Fox News ^ | 2009-07-01

On health care, Romney pointed to the successes of his own plan but criticized Obama's for its emphasis on a public option.

"The president's plan makes an enormous error by saying we're going to put government into the insurance business. We got everyone in Massachusetts insured and we did it without putting government into the insurance business," he said. "We said instead we're going to help people get private free enterprise kind of insurance they can buy from a number of different companies."

He said the system led to plunging premiums while offering a healthy choice of options for consumers.

"It's working well. We got 440,000 more people insured than when the plan was put in place, it costs less than 2 percent of the state budget -- it's a plan that's working, it's a good model," he said.

Good point. Like I said else where, given how the bulk of Romney folks acted here, any attempt at some sort of ‘meeting is the middle” or trying to get along type actions I am skeptical of.

I take a “Beware of Romneyians bearing gifts” approach...

I’ve looked over your links supporting your claim that Romney somehow threw the election to Obama, and I don’t see anything. The Prowler at American Spectator is probably just another anti-Romney poster at FR. The Dick Morris piece was written in July. Then you post some stupid FR vanities. This is no more credible than some guy at a street corner with a long coat on a hot day holding up a cardboard sign upon which is scrawled “Romney is Evil”.

...seeing as you have been one of the worst Mittoids over the last few months, let's just color me skeptical...

I've been one of the worst, eh? Great. So, when you go whining and caterwauling about the RINO-loving Mittbots supposedly spewing slime, sinking so low, trashing Palin, wallowing in sycophancy, I'm who you are referring to. Maybe you can report me to the Admins, since I'm the one of the worst. "Teacher, teacher, there's a Mittoid over here".

No need, you guys stick out like a sore thumb...

Plus it's not my style.

Besides, if you guys went away what would I do for entertainment. Indeed deep inside I am hoping a "Rudy" doesn't happen...

Who are you posting that to, there is no NYC Republican here.

JR has a new Romney thread going here, one or two of the posters seem to not like Romney, I wonder what that is about?

The way to win is with a conservative that can rally masses of people; connects with people and lets them see her work out conservative principles with success.
