“All Romney has to say is that his program was right for the SOVEREIGN STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS...”

Sophistry! Tyranny and trampling of rights is NO BETTER if done by a state than a federal government - it shouldn’t be done by either. YOU ARE STOMPED EITHER WAY! Most sensible persons can see this.

Romney is no better than Obama...except for the ears. Plus, he has always held up Justice Roberts as the type of appointment he would make to the court. Oh the joy that brings! NOT!

I wished a credible conservative would mount a third party run. Even if it loses, at least I could vote for them. I WILL NOT vote for the magic mormon anymore than I would of the Kenyan.

I don't want any idiot in government at any level to implement this kind of thing, either, but the way our government was originally designed, the states were sovereign - they were limited only by their own constitutions. It was the federal government which was limited by the federal constitution to just a few powers.

I don't know whether Massachusetts's constitution allows for Romneycare or not, but Romney could legitiamtely argue that Romneycare is legal at the state level but Obamacare is illegal at the federal level. If Obama hits him with that accusation of hypocrisy, this is something Romney could respond with. In this day and age, of course, since most Americans have barely heard of the Constitution let alone understand it, nor have they heard of federalism, they would probably not understand that argument. But it would be legitimate.
