And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . .

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

Acually, Romneycare is only approximately equal to Obamacare.

It doesn’t require stretching the commerce clause even further beyond its original intent, since it relies on general police powers of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (among the powers reserved to the states and the people — Massachusetts being a leftist state keeps too much of those with the state rather than the people, and that, while an offense against liberty, is not an offense against the Constitution). It was still bad policy, but it didn’t require the abuse of the U.S. Constitution to implement.

If (may God forefend) Romney is the nominee, he can run a states as the laboratory of democracy, enumerated powers attack on Obamacare, and argue that the left-leaning Massachusetts wanted to try a statist, mandate-based reform, but other states should be free to try other more-market-oriented reforms, or none at all, rather than having Washington dictate a copy of Massachusetts’ program on the nation. If he picks either Gingrich or Santorum (or any other Latin Christian) as VP, he can add an argument against Obamacare from the Latin church’s social doctrine of the “principle of subsidiarity”: that a state-run program is close enough to the people it serves to be responsive to their needs (a dubious point in my estimation, but one which can be made), while a federal one-size-fits-all is necessarily unresponsive to actual needs.

And the RomneyBots here on FR rejoiced...

November Ballot:

Leftist vs. Leftist
Obama vs. Obama Lite
ObamaCare vs. RomneyCare

And as usual, a chunk of states essentially have no voice in who the candidates are.

Screw the GOP & RNC. They have chosen the course of the Whigs... take stupid positions and forsake their foundation.
