On the kick off to his "No Apology" book tour Mitt Romney is on message – refusing to apologize for the Massachusetts health care law that, like President Obama’s federal legislation, requires citizens to buy health insurance.
“I’m not apologizing for it, I’m indicating that we went in one direction and there are other possible directions. I’d like to see states pursue their own ideas, see which ideas work best,” Romney told me.
That stand seems to reject the advice of Karl Rove and others who say that Romney can’t get the GOP nomination in 2012 unless he finds a way to distance himself from "Romneycare", but Romney did concede that his Massachusetts plan is imperfect.
As for "Obamacare"? It’s a “very bad piece of legislation,” Romney said

Why is this guy even in the news?
Are they going to use their Palin-Free month to push Romney?
Looks like Romney will be the MSM’s favorite GOP loser candidate.
Romneycare should have been brought to court several years ago and have established a precedent that would have put paid to Obamacare before it passed Congress.
When your single biggest accomplishment as governor is a massive and ever worsening economic and bureaucratic nightmare, you really don’t have a viable leg to stand on.
Romneycare and Gay Marriage==Nitmitt’s legacy
And he wants us to vote for him for Prez?
Ain’t gonna happen.
If he gets the nomination, its 4 more yars of Obie-Won
“Romneycare” is going to be an Anvil around Romney’s neck if he decides to run.
If Republicans listen to the Democrat media again to pick their candidate, the party should be tossed on the ash heap of history, and a new Conservative Party should take its place.
All hail our conservative frontrunner!
Makes 1996 seem great.
I'm not voting for you, sorry.
We should be glad Mitt is making this terrible mistake. Guarantees we wont be stuck with him for 2012.
Maybe this means Romney is eschewing plans to become president in favor of becoming an author.
Spoiler Romney OWES it to his wife to give up and go away.
Romney should stop abusing her (and his dog and the GOP).
“No apologies”
I didn’t know Mitt was one of the Ditzie Chicks/
I will not vote for Romney never - we would be better off with Obama horror and getting our opposition numbers up in the Senate and House. Seems like there was some reality check on this in 2010 at least.
I am not for third parties solutions but if Romney is the pick I will vote Conservative party.
Even McCain couldn’t make me vote third party, but Romney could do it.
Another book? Is he still envious at Palin’s success? I wonder, will he once again try to pad his numbers through bulk orders from his PACs?
