GO FREE REPUBLIC!!!
Thank you very much, thouworm!! And there you have it, folks. Bondi has accepted Romney’s offer to make her his new National Healthcare Czar and her responsibility will be to get all 50 states to impose Romney like top-down government approved forced healthcare systems!!
This is not free market, is not conservatism, is not Liberty. It is government tyranny!!
Ronald Reagan warned us that the socialists would take over America by imposing socialist healthcare. Well, here it is. A president Romney would usher in socialized healthcare in all 50 states. This is his goal and he’s creating a task force and naming his Czar to get it done. This is NOT states rights!!
We know from recent history that his plan has or will have death panels and taxpayer funded abortion!! Even if it doesn’t make it into the bills, the liberal activist judiciary will force it in, and a president Romney will not lift a finger to stop them!!
States rights do NOT trump our God given unalienable rights to Life and Liberty!!
Romney loves RomneyCare which is identical to ObamaCare. He claims he will repeal (parts of) ObamaCare, but he has plans to install something even worse, because he would do it as a “conservative free-market states rights solution.”
But it’s stil RomneyCare/ObamaCare and it’s still socialism and anti-Liberty!!
FUMR!!
NO ROMNEY, NO WAY!!
NO socialized healthcare!!
No more Czars!!
Romney already pandering to liberal Democraps... Wow!
Report dated YESTERDAY shows Mitt has made some ‘technical changes’ to his financial disclosure form ... i.e., the Swiss bank acct is GONE but not clear what else was changed.

RomneyCare has metastasized into yet another big-government cancer. Barack Obama wasn’t being entirely disingenuous when he cited RomneyCare as his model for Washington-run health care.
Lately, some Romney apologists have suggested that RomneyCare, as first conceived by the former Massachusetts governor, had its virtues. Say the apologists, the trouble with RomneyCare came when now-Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and the big spenders and government-growers in the state legislature got their hooks into the program.
This only shows what any good conservative knows about an entitlement, no matter how limited in intention. Liberal politicians — and more than some establishment Republicans — will find ways to grow entitlements to their advantage. Does anyone really think Social Security, which is heading for crisis, would be a hot topic if it had stayed a meager pension supplement as started by FDR in the 1930s?
What businessman-turned-Governor Mitt Romney gave to Deval Patrick and Massachusetts’ liberal legislators with RomneyCare was an exploitable opportunity — an opportunity to take Romney’s supposed “conservative” health care program and blow a hole in it bigger than the hole that sank the Titanic. (RomneyCare was more ambitious to start with than apologists claim, anyway.)
The fact is that government entitlements, however modestly begun, are going to follow the iron law of politicians’ self-interest. Growing government, expanding and increasing bennies, and shoveling contracts to special interests are the tickets to politicians’ job security — or so has been the case in Washington and plenty of state capitals for too many decades.

Not incidentally, for all Mitt Romney’s boasting about not raising taxes in Massachusetts, RomneyCare, in fact, has upped taxpayer bills in two important ways. As the Wall Street Journal reported last year:
While Massachusetts’ uninsured rate has dropped to around 3%, 68% of the newly insured since 2006 receive coverage that is heavily or completely subsidized by taxpayers. While Mr. Romney insisted that everyone should pay something for coverage, that is not the way his plan has turned out. More than half of the 408,000 newly insured residents pay nothing, according to a February 2010 report by the Massachusetts Health Connector, the state’s insurance exchange. [Italics added]
And this tidbit from the same Wall Street Journal article:
Mr. Romney’s promise that getting everyone covered would force costs down also is far from being realized. One third of state residents polled by Harvard researchers in a study published in “Health Affairs” in 2008 said that their health costs had gone up as a result of the 2006 reforms. A typical family of four today faces total annual health costs of nearly $13,788, the highest in the country. Per capita spending is 27% higher than the national average. [Italics added.]
Yet for all of RomneyCare’s evident failure, businessman Romney has stubbornly continued to defend the program. A smart businessman — and a smarter politician — would have acknowledged RomneyCare’s failure, claimed to have learned lessons, cut his losses, and moved on.

What’s confounding is that, if as stated now that Gov. Deval Patrick, lib and BHO bud, took advantage of the opening Romneycare gave him as crook libs do, why isn’t Romney defending himself and saying that to describe the healthcare financial mess in MA now?
That’s totally vacant, misleading and disingenuous on the reality .. and purposeful.
He can honestly say he’s immediately gonna do an EO to
eliminate Obamacare, ‘cause he’ll just replace it with his
schemes. Transparent as a window ...
Buuuump!
