Yes, of course, and I never spend any effort here exposing Obama and his marxist minions, remember? I only attack conservative republicans, right?

Romney is an unprincipled, two-faced political ahole and thinks that burying his life long liberalism will make him more appealing to voters. In reality, his appeal is limited to neocons and faux-cons.

Last time he squandered some $55 million of his own money. This time around the cash register will be wide open.

Willard thinks he's the second coming of Reagan and Obama is Jimmah! LOL

Exactly. And a U.S. Senator only two years into his term (and way less than 300 congressional days in session) has no business running for president.

But the sheeple elected him anyway.

I've only seen you call Duncan Hunter "conservative" enough for you and your brother Falconers. Everyone else is a RINO. Now I see you have 9/11 issues and if that includes anything except that Jamie Gorelick and Richard ben Veniste were on the panel to protect Bill Clinton, that's a problem.

But maybe you are, in fact, sane, but only need to improve your diet.

Hatari means danger in Swahili, as in: “Danger, Will Robinson! Rino re-entering the POTUS race.”

You must never read what I post to you. First of all, I have probably more anti-Obama threads on FR than anyone else.

2nd, I posted to you the other day how I support people like Pence, King, Bachmann, DeMint, Sessions, Hunter, Inhofe, Ryan, Rohrbacher, Rubio, Hayworth, Poe, Hoekstra, DeVore, Blackburn, etc, etc. In other words CONSERVATIVES.

You can support whatever RINO idiots your heart desires.

It is not socialist because it keeps everything — insurance and health care — in the private sector. It was designed originally by the Heritage Foundation, as reliably conservative a group as you can get. It was made more expensive in the Democrat legislature.

I’m not sure I agree with it, because I don’t know the details about emerging problems, and where they arise. But it is not socialist. It was designed to head off socialized medicine. It was a serious attempt to deal with the very real problem of free riders, who don’t bother to insure themselves, then show up at emergency rooms when they need treatment. They are already shoving their costs onto the rest of us. The free riders are one reason the costs of medical care are so high.

If people want to be free to forego health insurance, doctors and hospitals should be free to turn them away when they show up at the emergency room — even if they are bleeding to death. But that is not how it works, and the free riders know that is not how it works. They know they will get the care they need, and that someone else will pay for it.

But, this is a problem that needs to be solved if the costs of health care are to be kept in line.

It’s the same concept as ObamaCare now, no public option.

But the Govt. sets the rules, has the panels that decide yes or no mammogram...yes or no to life sustaing procedures...not the doctors.

Government control.

If Romney is nominated that takes one of the 3 biggest issues away from the election....HealthCare.

He wont be able to attack Obama on that issues...if the GOP cedes that issue they should just win the House and Senate and cede the Presidency for 8 years to the Socialist Obama.

Are you sure about that? I didn’t think that was the case, and that was why the cost of insurance was going up.

Go read about it. It doesn’t differ from Obama’s that much, except that it is a state mandate versus a federal mandate.

It even requires people to buy the insurance just like Obama’s

Unfortunately you are wrong. It is socialized health care, but instead of using a bureaucracy to exact the tax the government found it easier to use private companies. In the end the government still becomes the enforcer, but the government is one step removed from the tax system under mandated health insurance. I remember hearing that the Heritage Foundation was behind that concept and I lost respect for them over that fact. I understand the argument that health care can not be free, and someone needs to pay for health care, but setting up a government mandated health care oligopoly is arguably unconstitutional.

You are correct. Panels of non-experts who consistently deny procedures will keep costs down. We could do away with the panels and auto-deny everything and it would be so inexpensive we could all afford it. Those of us still alive anyway.
