(NECN: Washington, D.C.) - Former governors Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush joined Congressman Eric Cantor to talk health care, the economy and national security at the first town hall meeting for the National Council for a New America on Saturday. But the group steered clear of abortion and same-sex marriage -- wedge issues that have led to the defection of moderates and independents.
"Listening to people can make a difference. We've got ideas on how we can help people get health insurance, how we can improve our schools, how we can make our economy strong today as well as down the road, how we can reform entitlements -- these are the people of America that have these ideas," Romney said. "We want to share these ideas with one another, and make sure that we're laying out a vision and a plan for America that makes our lives and the lives of our kids better."

... basically, ‘’how we can be just like the Democrats.’’
RINOs are dead to me
If we don’t stop these RINOs soon, we’re going to lose 2012. These guys are the damn problem, not the answer.
Up yours, Romney, you socialist bastard!!
Yep. The nation desperately needs an off-brand Democratic party so the RINOs can hold their heads up high at the country club again/sarc.
Romney can take the GOP image from really bad to megabarf.
Oh good - Mitt talks health insurance. Thanks again for the extra 3 pages of b*llshit to fill out on the MA state tax return.
It’s amazing how the media and seemingly the party keeps pushing this bs that moderates and independents left because of abortion and gay marriage. There’s absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever. A recent poll just showed that the pro-life side has its highest poll #s in years. They certainly didn’t hurt us in 2004, in fact they helped us in many states.
So, what was the big difference between 04 and 08?
Simple.
in 04 the economy was in good shape, unemployment was low, GDP growth was solid, and the markets were in a bull rally.
In 08, the economy was in its worst shape since the 30s, unemployment was its highest levels in 25 years and getting worse, GDP growth was its worst sustained slump in 50 years, the markets were in their worst pre-election slide ever, etc...
That’s why moderates and independents left the GOP and voted for the other guy. Because the economy sucked under a GOP President so they went for the alternative. Just as they did in 1992 and just as they did in 1980 when the economy sucked under a dem President and they went for the Republican Reagan. It’s not that hard to figure out.
Abortion and gay marriage had nothing to do with it. The economy, the massive unpopularity of President Bush, and being outspent by an unprecedentedly massive margin had everything to do with it
The jokers meeting.
Listen up Romney, you ignorant RINO socialist!! The federal government has no business being involved in schools or health insurance!! Study your damn constitution. TARP was a huge RINO mistake!! Nationalizing and controlling private enterprise is national socialist fascism!! Leave our private enterprise system ALONE!! Keep your damned socialist MITTS out of our business!!
The proper formula for improving the economy is:
Cut taxes!
Cut spending!
Cut government!
Repeat!!
Anything else simply means MORE socialism!!
In this present crisis, government is not the solution; it is the problem! ~~Ronald Reagan
Now more than ever!!

Exlcellant candaties to lead a herd of lemmings.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK1jMHE1bkw&feature=related
Go the hell away, Romney. You are part of the GOP that needs to swept out with the trash. Phony, soft, wussy, non-confrontational, inconsistent, unprincipled, moderate, get-along types. Get lost, your group blew it, now beat it.
