His supporters are still shilling for him. Even on this thread.

• Rand Paul: GOP ‘probably can’t defeat’ Obamacare
• Paul: We probably can't get rid of 'Obamacare'
• Paul pushes to restore state felon voting rights as part of push to reform sentencing
• Rand Paul’s immigration speech

  Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]

• Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance

  ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

If Mitt Romney had won we would not have Obamacare.

Seriously??

Mitt Romney is the grandfather of Obamacare. He's a big government statist liberal who would have destroyed all hope of the right taking back Congress and restoring this country.

The man is a Democrat In All But Label Only. Stop defending him.

[KGeorge]

Imagine that!

Now, I believe that both McCain & Mittens = 0bama. They were going to do this crap no matter who was president. Ryan turned out kinda snaky but I am *ticked off* the way they used Sarah.

This is a Dirty, Rotten, Corrupt deal. Pure graft.

We need to figure out a way to get *our choice* elected cleanly no matter what kind of shenanigans the dims & the rinos pull next year & 2016 (if we make it that far).

If Mitt Romney had won we would not have Obamacare.

Then why didn't he make that the centerpiece of his campaign? We all know why and his ongoing defense of RomneyCare exposed his big government mentality. Considering Republican betrayals under Bush, I wouldn't count on them to do anything once they get power in their hands.

why is this a surprise ???

Willard is a liberal..

ObamaCare is the child of his RomneyCare..

Willard is obsessing that he is one of the 25 Benedict Arnolds..

[SUSSA]

Romney’s strategy for winning the White House was great. Republicans should listen to him./s

If Mitt Romney had won we would not have Obamacare.

No we would have RomnbeyCare..

Willard still loves his baby...

well one of his babies..

hes also the father of gay marriage...

anyhoo in 2012 during an interview he was asked about the current funding for RomneyCare in MASS

50% from MASS taxpayers and 50% from the Fed govt (thats you and me..the other states)

Oh says Willard its working, thats how we planned it..

So dont say Willard would not have signed RomneyCareRUs if he was the guy in my White House...

[DManA]

As far as I could tell the centerpiece of his campaign was that he was a really really nice guy with a really really nice family.

[TigersEye]

Ah, yes, delay it for a year so it won’t be an election obstacle for Democrats.

[JediJones]

It’s funny how Mitt, McCain and others told us we had to reach out to Hispanics. Then suddenly a Hispanic Republican starts to rise to prominence and they try to cut the legs out from under him. I guess Cruz’ brand of salsa is too hot for the old white boys club to handle.

[SoFloFreeper]

I won’t deride him, I will respectfully disagree.

folks, the shutdown is not the fault of Republicans...the fault is with the Democrats.

Republicans passed a bill to fund everything except Obamacare.

Obama has shown he will gladly ignore enforcing a law he disagrees with—so the House of Representatives merely showed that THEY will not fund a law THEY disagree with.

That is what the founders of this nation did when they created a distribution of powers.

[SoFloFreeper]

By the way:

Look at how the media portrayed what Romney said, then look at what he ACTUALLY said. There is a difference.

[Venturer]

Does anyone on Free Republic give a good fart about what Romney has to say?

This is the a-wipe who invented Obamacare.

[VerySadAmerican]

Working hard to elect republicans? How about working hard to elect conservatives! That happened in 2010 and the republicans turned on them.

It’s really sad that the creep in the white house was so disgusting that I voted for McCain and Romney.

[VerySadAmerican]

Great point! I wish just one talking head would say to a liberal “You don’t like Cruz because he’s Hispanic. You’re racist!”

[EternalVigilance]

Your chosen headline is PERFECT.

Thanks.

[GeronL]

thanks

lol

[trubolotta]

Great idea and I would push it a bit further. “You love Hispanics as long as they keep their mouths shut and do what they are told. Sounds racist to me.”
