On the eve of the Supreme Courts health care ruling Thursday morning, a Democratic group has uncovered what it said was fresh evidence of Mitt Romneys one-time embrace of the individual insurance mandate that he now scorns.
Video of Mr. Romney from a March 2006 news conference when he was governor of Massachusetts shows the presumptive Republican nominee praising the passage of an individual mandate in the legislature as an essential part of the reforms he advocated.
With regards to the individual mandate, the individual responsibility program that I proposed, I was very pleased that the compromise between the two houses includes the personal responsibility mandate, he says in the video, which was found by the group American Bridge 21st Century.

Unless you prefer a Donut of course.
The American Dream ended today, time to face Reality my FRiend. There are only two doors left, pick one...
For this course of action, I have been called "stupid", "idiot", "crazy", "Mr. DUmmie" "DNC troll" by the wise, thoughtful, freedom loving people on FR. All today.
Me too, over the course of many days, and I've written hundreds of posts since 2008 trying to alert folks to the danger that Romney presents; in 2009-2011, a lot of these folks who are calling you names now were saying, "Ah, Romney is toast, don't worry about him." They were wrong and I was right then, and they are wrong and you and I are right now. But they absolutely refuse to ponder the consequences of a Romney win.
It is taboo. The only thing they will tolerate is Obama phobia and hysteria. They are blindly terrified of Obama's powerful medicine, big ju ju, all powerful Oz-like black magic, and they are scared silly, and too cowed to muster the courage to recognize that Obama would long ago have done what they scream we "couldn't survive!" if he actually had as much ju ju as they claim he does.
They call you these names because they are scared to death, frightened out of their skins, panicked into voting FOR a guy they know is bad, a guy who repels them in every gut level way, who has advanced ALL of the things they've been voting Republican all these years to oppose.
They are only seeing it through the rationale of what they're voting "against."
5th Gen Tex, I'm a 5th Gen Californian from a long line of Republicans, from the time when California was a solidly Republican state. I urge you with all my heart to VOTE in the presidential race and REGISTER your vote in the final tally. I am going to vote third party at the top of the ticket because I know that voting "against" Obama or Romney is impossible because a vote is ultimately and ONLY for something. I will be voting FOR a plurality from a split vote. A president in office where the majority voted against him is vulnerable, ala Clinton with his 43% plurality where fully 57% of Americans declared "Clinton, you STINK!" and where two years later he got bulldozed with the Republican Revolution. I doubt that would have happened if Clinton had gotten a majority or if Bush had been re-elected.
Come 2013, either way we are guaranteed an enemy in the White House -- voting third party is the only way we can weaken that enemy and put him on the defensive. I am praying for a plurality, and voting for it, too.
I really wish folks here would just get over the hysteria and start using their heads.
>”voting third party is the only way we can weaken that enemy and put him on the defensive”< (YEAH, THAT WILL SHOW OBAMA WE MEAN BUSINESS)
>”I really wish folks here would just get over the hysteria and start using their heads”< (DO YOU BELIEVE THOSE IDIOTS HERE THAT DON’T WANT OBAMA REELECTED)
There is really nothing else to say, you nailed it.
The big government lovers are out in droves tonight.....How much is the GOPe paying you to spread your crap?
Oh yes....You LOVED John Roberts and said he was great just as you are championing Romney. How did that work out for you??????
Mr. RomneyCARE AUTHORED ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
Like GAY MARRIAGE, MR. RomneyCARE created it,
then got the GOPe to forget that, hoping the
entire American public has no memory, too.
WRONG.
Are you really this stupid? Carter was inept; Obama has done epic destruction to our constitution and country. He's rang up 5 trillion in new debt (Not including ObamaCare!); he took over GM and Chrysler (read: gave them to the Unions); he basically opened Arizona's borders to an unlimited flood of illegals; he just had the SCOTUS tell us we will be served ObamaCare in the form of the biggest tax hike in World history. And you have the audacity to sit here and compare Obama to Carter? Are you F-ing serious? You must be an abject idiot!
The fact that knuckle heads like you have more outrage over Romney than Obama is unbelievable!
You Obama supporters are amazing to behold. The Democratic Underground eagerly awaits your membership.
Your name calling and ranting make it impossible for discussion.
Scream those who disagree with you off the square.
Go vote for the man who provided Obama the model to implement socialized medicine. The man who lead Obama by example on recognizing gay marriage.
Go vote for him. And feel good about it.
