Romney can never be taken at face value, he wanted to do as president what he did as a failed one-term governor.
“At a 2008 event in New Hampshire, Romney was asked by a voter, “You supported national healthcare in Massachusetts. Are you going to do the same thing on a national?” His response: “Absolutely, I’ve already put a plan out. Take a look at it. Get on my website, take a look.”
Voter: “We are trying to get a 100% health care for all Americans.”
Romney: “Me too, that is what my plan does.””
Who takes any politician at face value?
