I wouldn’t support an individual mandate if Ronald Reagan suggested it. We HAVE to get government out of our lives or we’re doomed and I don’t believe that Newt is 100% on board with that.
You’re right, everyone makes mistakes and we need to accept that for all candidates but forcing American citizens to participate in yet another doomed-to-fail program is no small error.
Just sayin’
The point wasn’t whether you supported the mandate, I think very few, if any here do. The question was whether you support the Heritage Foundation regardless of some of their foibles.
Newt has said one of the first things he will do as POTUS is get rid of Obamacare & by virtue of that, individual mandates. If you don’t believe he’ll do that, that’s one thing, but if you believe, as I do, that Newt doesn’t say one thing & do another, then this is really just a red herring. His record is clear as to doing what he says he’ll do. That’s not always a good thing, but it IS who he is. I can deal w/ known better than the unknown.
