He keeps trying to put lipstick on his Massachusetts pig. Until he admits it was a pig nobody is going to believe him.

Gag me with a spoon. How far down the road are the American people? Has the public school and media Marxist indoctrination worked on enough of them yet?

Idaho's looking better all the time.

The idea is that the middle class pays for the poor, and they accept less choice and quality in their care.

Meanwhile, the rich and connected can afford to choose the best doctors, facilities, and services by going outside the plan.

It’s pretty simple really.

The GOP is playing with fire.

If Romney even sniffs the nomination, they will lose supporters in droves.

From the talking points in the article, it looks like he's going to ignore RomneyCare and simply call for a fairly conservative policy--repeal ObamaCare, return all decisions re: care for the poor to states, make vouchers easier. I guess that's all he can do. He can't defend his monstrosity, with its month-long waits for doctor visits. So do what comes natural to him -- Flip Flop.

Me neither. What Romney says today has no barring on his political (how he governed) life or what he will say tomorrow, He just needs to go away.
