Maybe YOU can look yourself in the mirror if that clown Romney gets elected and nothing actually changes, but I can’t. I care too much about how to spend my time than in taking part in an activity that will render the same, futile result. It is a tale, full of sound and fury, signifying absolutely nothing, and you assuage your own self-righteous sense of philosophical purity by pretending something will come of it.

Clue time. Neither party is serious about the deficit or even has a legitimate plan to deal with it. The Republicans are now running on a platform of maintaining the ponzi-scheme known as social security and medicare, and have totally embraced the “good parts” of ObamaCare that have led to financial collapse of the healthcare system in MA to such a degree they now impose controls over pricing. They are proposing “fixes” that are gimmicky, full of “conservative” promises but don’t even accomplish what they claim, and then they expect your worship and adoration.

Am I arguing with a leftist Democrat here?

If the left-leaning idiots on the SCOTUS decide the sky is really green instead of blue, do you believe them? At this point we ALL should know that Jorge El Segundo has “Warren Courted” us with that idiot Roberts.

Obamacare is not Constitutional. Nowhere in the Federal Constitution is the Federal Government given the power to establish a health plan - NOWHERE.

But the Tenth Amendment CLEARLY states that whatever powers are not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are retained by the people and the states.

Romney has not been clear on any issue. We are being told that we have to elect Romney to see what he will really do. Sound familiar. Stupid is voting for a pig in a poke. The devil you know etc.

“The people of Ma demanded it.
What don’t you get?”


BS! The Democratic Socialists of America demanded it (one of its members designed RomneyCare. He went on to design ObamaCare), and Romney lied about it, made false promises about it, and shoved it on the gullible morons of his state based on nothing within the MA constitution itself. And today he still lies about it despite its utter failure. Today, the gullible morons of MA now consist of the entire nation, because we’re DEMANDING Marxism from both parties. Or, at least, that’s what they’ll tell us when they’re robbing us.

Obamacare is NOT, countrywide.

Based on what is it unconstitutional? Have you read in the Constitution about the Supreme Court? They said it was Constitutional. Where in the Constitution does it say you have the right to overrule them about what's Constitutional. Can you post your citation? Please, it would help.

If you can claim that federal Romneycare is unconstitutional, then I can claim state Romneycare is unconstitutional. Your whole argument is built on sham. Romney has no standing of backing up is claims. It's just a bunch of malarkey.

One more reminder. Obamacare/federal romneycare IS Constitutional!!!! The Supreme Court said so. And can dispute that they are the body the Constitution itself gets to decide that?? Romney's Constitutional analysis is sham.

No dumbass, that is what the libtards in MA demanded and that is constitutional.

They kept Barney Frank in office for a lifetime.
That is their right, and I have the right to not live there.

>> It’s just completely stupid of Romney to keep saying this. He’s daring his base not to vote for him.

That would be plain idiotic. It’s likely part of a strategy that will help keep Romney on the offensive instead of being on the defensive regarding RomneyCare.

There is no danger that Romney could institute national health insurance. So it is a moot argument.

Do you believe in state’s rights? I am not a fan of Mittens, but claims that state level Romneycare (which if I lived in Massachusetts I would have voted against) and national level Obamacare are synonymous is intellectually dishonest. The residents of the state of Taxachusetts have the right to be stupid and support it and bear the consequences.

If two appointments to the Supreme Court would not be waiting for the next president, I could understand the intransigence towards voting for Romney, but to allow Obama to have two more selections for the Supreme Court will destroy this country, just look at his two choices so far, Sotomayor and Kagan, and the thought of Obama having two more choices should be abhorrent to your conservative beliefs. If you are intellectually honest, Mittens values are not even close Obama’s and would not champion the evil that Obama would seek to inflict on this country that we love.

“Romney PICKED a Simon pure Conservative to run as VEEP on his ticket. WE will have FAR more INFLUENCE with Romney than with the alternative should Romney be elected.”

~ ~ ~

Why? Cause Romney is not? If Ryan were “pure” like you say, he would never of signed on, it’s ambition....scary.

No, it will not happen as you think. Look at Mitt’s record.
He flip flops on everything, less sodomy.

Romney is a “habitual liar”, he need’s God’s grace in his
soul there’s the other problem, Mormons are not Christian.

“No dumbass, that is what the libtards in MA demanded and that is constitutional.”


So I guess you are going to keep asserting that it was constitutional for MA to do this, but won’t show me where in the MA constitution where they have a right to force millions of people to buy health insurance.

That’s really the answer to look for, because if you claim “anything goes” for the states, then you are basically saying you are okay if a state imposes full blown communism, provided they maintain a Republican “form” of government as required by the U.S. constitution.

I for one feel sorry for those poor fools who bought Mitt Romney’s and the DNC’s and the DSA’s lies about what RomneyCare would accomplish and do.

Romney helped put this current idiot in the White House. His campaign started the rumors about Sara Palin being a diva and not qualified. His hope was to be able to run in 4 years. He got his wish and we got Obama. It is no wonder she can hardly say his name without gagging.

There is a quote by Winston Churchill that describes your philosophy:

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

You think Romney is more pure than Obama, so even if they do the exact same thing, somehow it would be better. Only if there are two parties that believe the same thing, who is going to defend you. No one. You will be a tasty alligator morsel.

I can't really believe that any rational conservative can have the attitude you do.

Romney is far from the perfect candidate. But he is a patriotic American who LOVES AMERICA!!!

He's an AMERICAN!!!

Go see 2016!!!! Maybe THAT can help you!

Obama is an anti-colonial, anti-western anti-Christian Muslim, black racist still fighting the Mau-Mau War in Kenya but against AMERICA and not against the British!

How can I convince you that PART of a good idea is better than NONE of it?

What do you think will happen if Obama is elected again? People will think they made a great mistake and elect Ron Paul in 2016??

By then Obama will have BANKRUPTED America, allowed Iran to develop nuclear weapons, diminished our military to pre-WW1 levels, instituted national healthcare and OTHER nationalist programs, installed his “Civilian Police Force” (complete with air support) in hardened military style facilities all over America and opened the flood gates to a sea of new foreign invaders with personal loyalty to him alone and fed them into the U.S. military and governmental offices.

All of this talk about not voting for Romney and AGAINST Obama is INSANE!!!!! The primary is over!! We will work for a more complete victory NEXT TIME!!! Vote for Romney so there still IS a NEXT TIME!!!!

Actually, my philosophical quote is best represented by the scorpion riding on the frog’s back.

Anytime these phony extortionists, phony “insurance” companies under HillaryRomney want it:

They’ll turn on their “red-light” cameras, “yellow light” cameras, or even investigate EPA style, “green light” cameras. And they define the colors.

The more they can get away with it, the more they push the envelope. Shakedown Extortion-Care.
