ObamneyCare—isn’t this racist? Obamney sounds like Mammy.
I just can’t warm up to Pawlenty. At least not yet. There is something a little phoney about him. Like that perpetual talk show smile he puts on all the time.
About the same with Ryancare...it sucks as bad as 0’care. Neither party has the guts to actually ‘fix’ the 40+ years of donor palm greasing which is the main cause of driving Medicare bankrupt. That and killing 53 million unborn potential workers paying into the system. Instead they let illegals on Medicare.
Tim Pawlenty has supported some other wrong headed issues, but he has at least admitted his mistakes and moved on. I don’t know the context of the statement in support of individual mandates, but saying that they COULD be is not saying, let’s do it. It’s opening up a discussion.
Anyway, NO ROMNEY, NO WAY.
I thought it was pretty funny.
I just watched the reply of the interview, I thought Pawlenty did well. I like what I’m seeing and hearing from him, serious proposals to deal with the economy, taxes, spending, entitlements, etc. For right now he is my top choice, but I want to hear more from him and several other candidates over the coming months.
I am getting tired of hearing that Mittens in the front-runner and basically the heir apparent and the "next guy in line" with the old Republican guard. This has to stop. We have had slick, soaring rhetoric, phony Roman pillars, and promises of the receding seas. Let's get real and get people back to work, get them contributing to society and their own retirement plans, and paying taxes. I want more common sense, more concrete plans, less "progressive" crap, and less razz-ma-tazz. If Pawlenty is boring or "plain vanilla", I'll take a double-dose. BUT, let's keep looking and evaluating the candidates.
I didn't know that Pawlenty had heaped such praise on Romneycare. Now, in all fairness, I, too once thought the mandate was the solution and I've changed my mind. I was mistaken.
It's an unacceptable government intrusion on individual freedom and the supposed solution to the health insurance problem doesn't outweigh it. Mea culpa.
Any candidate for the Republican nomination who once believed as I did must come forward and admit his mistake -- as I have. Otherwise, no vote.
I agree they need to be tested. I didn’t think that Pawlenty did too well. Either Wallace’s “facts” weren’t correct or Pawlenty needs to rethink some of his ideas. Frankly, I was a bit confused at times.
