Romney wants to repeal ObamaCare. But he wants to replace it with RomneyCare which is fundamentally the same thing, but he sees it even today as a free-market conservative solution. Only he wants to foist it upon a formerly free people at the state level, where he and Pam Bondi believe it will pass constitutional muster as a states rights issue. This elitist/statist is an evil menace to Liberty!!
See Ronald Reagan on government “solutions” foisted on the people by a group of elites, ie, Romney and the GOP-e. See also freedom and liberty vs socialism and totalitarianism and how Reagan warned us that the socialists would introduce socialism into America via compulsory health insurance, ie, RomneyCare.
Romneycare works for Mitt because Mitt is a social corporatist...a form of socialist government that rules a nation using an elite, especially a corporate elite, to run things in the background while allowing everyone to pretend it is a “free market”. The great great grandparents of these ideas were Friedrich Nietzche and Benito Mussolini.
Socialism is socialism, though, no matter how invisible it might try to make itself.
National Romneycare will only serve to make the cronies more powerful.
I like the following from the article so much:
“The ObamaCare “repeal” will go down like this: House Republicans will pass a repeal bill. Senate Democrats will block it. There will be lots of tense moments and sparring through the media as the White House and House straw men and -women wage a wink-and-a-nudge “battle” with the Democrats. Romney (D-Mass.) will concede defeat and blame the Democrats, who will claim victory. The Republicans will save face with their base by fighting the “good fight,” as will the Democrats.
Next, Romney (D-Mass.) will take charge of “fixing” it. Democrats will concede that it needs improvement. Campaign donors will draft “revisions” that will benefit the donors, and both parties will agree to those amendments. There will be some token resistance on certain provisions to keep America fleeced into thinking that we have a functioning Two-Party system.”
As you know, Romney was NEVER my guy, but I don't see how principles are being served by standing still or attacking the only people who can stop President Kool Kat.
A difference of opinion shouldn't cause so much anger between allies and friends.

Jim: I agree with all of that. But, answer me this: when the choice comes down to Romney vs. Obama, who will you vote for? If neither, isn't that the same as a vote for obama? That I can't do. Maybe the VP choice will make a difference? I know he'll never ask Palin, but if he did... in my opinion, that would be a game changer. Unfortunately, he's a douche and I fear we're all screwed.
