“And IF Bain Capital figures out someway to make money off of Romneycare...”
Actually..they already have ....

Bill Frist, medical doctor and former Republican Senate Majority Leader (2003 - 2007), said Tuesday that he’s for fixing not nixing ObamaCare.
Frist’s father and brother founded Hospital Corporation of America, the “largest private operator of health care facilities in the world.” His brother, nephews and other members of his extended family own significant stakes in the company, which is eyeing a public stock offering to resolve looming debt issues. With ObamaCare, hospitals forecast less uncompensated care (bad debt) and their stock prices have been rising accordingly. The “improved prospects for publicly traded hospitals appear to have inspired the owners of HCA to take the company public” again.

The RinoCrat Oligarchy have themselves invested in Bain...and their personal financial security is probably depenedent on its success...which is in turn dependent upon a Romney Candidacy.
Think Madoff...but with legislative leverage to meet the calls....
Since Mitt’s biggest excuse is that his plan was so different because it was done at State level vs. Federal level (which supossedly makes it a virtuous subjugation of the People), look for a Romney in the WH to further trash the Constituiton and declare that Obama Care has transformed from a Federal program to a State program and the lucky States have to do nothing since it is already in place for them.
I saw the interview and came away with the EXACT impression. I was stunned too, I might add. I thought Bondi was on our side. It’s depressing.
Wish there was a transcript. This thread needs to keep going with link to interview AND transcript for the entire primary season.
I know one person who was wrong-—ME.
I thought Pam had the potential to do big things down here in FL. But lately, she’s proving herself basically an establishment wannabe.
Romney is such a frightening marionette... and a ventriloquist: he can talk out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, telling each person exactly what they want to hear.
I am disappointed in FL.AG Pam Bondi; I suppose she is towing the party line in order to insure her own future.
BAH! HUMBUG!
Bondi is a political whore just like many others.
35 Romney endorsers received contributions first
Mitt takes the endorsement game to a whole new level

If the GOP nominee is Romney, and if the Dems nominate BHO, I will vote for the Libertarian candidate. This is because the individual mandate for health care completes the destruction of enumerated and limited powers first begun by the Supreme Court in Wickard v. Filburn. In this 1942 case, the Court allowed the federal government to control a grain crop grown on private land and fed to privately owned livestock on the theory that the Commerce Clause allowed the regulation of economic activity that might have an effect on interstate commerce. This gave the Commerce Clause an infinite elasticity so that it could be stretched to justify such a broad range of powers that it rendered moot any concept that the federal government was limited to only 13 enumerated functions.
It’s either Newt or I will leave that box on the ballot blank.
Think it was Lenin that said “accuse others of the things you are doing”
Mitt and Bo both do that a lot.
Great summary of what’s at stake here.
The one thing I would add is it a form of cohesion to mandate health care.
Romney = death panels. Preach it loud, spread it wide.
Coulter, Drudge, Krauthammer, Bondi...at this rate; there won't be any silver left in the marketplace for the rest of us.
You can’t spell “Romney” without “R” “MONEY”!
Romney corrupts. Absolute Romney corrupts absolutely.
Romney conveniently leaves out the part in Mass. where he took in Millions & now Billions in Federal dollars to implement RomneyCare. I hope so badly Newt takes Florida & brings this deception of “state’s right” is not what RomneyCare is. The 10th Amendment does not apply when its funded by Federal money. Thanks Mr. Jim Robinson for fighting the good fight!!!
Wow.
I don’t care how friggin’ imperfect a vessel Newt is at this point—Anyone But Romney!!!
Bondi being all-in for Romney is very disappointing
