Are you from MA? I ask because several conservatives and FReepers have told me independently that Mitt was a big improvement over previous governors and the current occupant.
They also indicated that government universal healthcare was coming to MA no matter what and that Romney made it more palatable. He faced two solidly Democrat and liberal state houses, along with a judiciary that isn’t one to see the Constitution or conservatism ever. Many of the positions he took regarding MA healthcare were at the time espoused by conservatives and the Heritage Foundation.
It’s just like being a conservative in Cook County, IL. If you want to rant and crab stick to your guns and never compromise. You’ll be guaranteed a “clean” conscience and 100% liberalism. If you want to move the cause forward then you’ll have to compromise, but the net result is less liberalism.
It seems that we judge people like Monday morning quarterbacks too often. We’re happy to sit in our stool moaning and righteous, but never run, never get elected and never rule.
I'm from MA and I found Mitt a constant disappointment -- of course, it was kind of confusing to follow exactly what was going on because of his penchant for saying one thing and doing another!
As I recall, he was solidly for RomneyCare. He was, after all, the governor, which even in a liberal state would have given him a bully pulpit, if he had chosen to use it. He didn't even pretend to have reservations -- and loudly voiced reservations, even if ineffective, would look a lot better on his record if he wants to pretend to be a conservative.
How about a little truth, FRiend.
Mr. RomneyCARE made Massachusetts (previously amongst
the first) almost dead last in the USA
even while he personally installed his visions
of RomneyMarriage AND RomneyCARE.
Since you regard this all as an ‘improvement’,
one notes that you are as far from ‘conservative’
as the backstabbing, lying Democat known
as Myth Romney.
Good doesn't compromise with evil. A hard concept for those drawn to evil to understand. FReepers have told me independently that Mitt was a big improvement over previous governors and the current occupant.
You are way behind, Romney has bragged how he is left of Kennedy! You need to keep up! Get yourself Etch A. Sketch. It is easily recognizable, the back has a yellow line up it and there's a piece that sticks out that is called a tongue which is split. There should be plenty in stock, no one wants 'it' - not in demand at all!
