By the way, it turns out the video linked is only part of the interview. Bondi goes on to say that President Romney’s healthcare task force will work to get rid of ObamaCare then go on to create good healthcare. She says 25 of the governors and attorney generals signed on to the lawsuit against ObamaCare endorse Romney and his plan. They are claiming it’s a states rights issue, but they very definitely want to push the states into mandated RomneyCare-like plans.
States rights is a great thing, but states rights do not trump individual rights! Romney and his socialist comrades want to overlook that little point because they do not believe in individual liberty. That is clear. If they did they wouldn’t push this socialist crap.
Newt understands and openly declares that WE THE PEOPLE are the sovereigns and that the government derives its just powers at the consent of the governed (us). And that our unalienable rights come from God and cannot be taken away by government whether led by a Marxist like Obama or a socialist/statist like Romney! The Declaration of Independence clearly spells out our recourse when the government becomes abusive or destructive to our established republican form of government or our God given Liberty!
Obamacare offers politicians the biggest pot of money to play with since Medicare was created.
Politicians love to play with other people’s money, so it is not a surprise to see established politicians favoring a “reformed” Obamacare that still allows them to play with trillions.
Great summary of what’s at stake here.
The one thing I would add is it a form of cohesion to mandate health care.
Oh I’m sure they’ll claim the states get to “craft” their own plan, while strongarming them into doing some kind of plan (denying current funding if they don’t). Of course they’ll set the “parameters” for the plan so that nothing much different from Romneycare could qualify.
