Really? This is what people want to focus the elections on?

Yes.
(No sarc tag necessary.)
Unless of course you want to dredge up the same old RINO talking points about health care, the economy, and whatnot. You know... the same rhetoric the democrats spew on.
Look. There is NO DIFFERENCE between Obamacare and Romneycare. The ONLY way we conservatives can take back our nation is by taking a stand AGAINST porn. Or abortion. And stand FOR Godly values.
But around FR? It’s obvious to see that porn is far too popular and us true SoCons are being ridiculed as if we were posting at the DUmp.
Sad how things are way too (socially) liberal around here. I, of course blame the libertarians (see tagline).
Really, you see no difference between a STATE healthcare program (which is Constitutionally supported) and a FEDERAL program (which is NOT Constitutionally supported)? The state has the power to do this, the Federal Gov't does not.
That said, it was an ill conceived program to begin with; but the primary difference is that an individual state has a wide latitude as to what it can do, it is constrained by the Constitution as far as individual rights (ie. No state can allow slavery), but a state can mandate healthcare within the state.
It should also be noted that while Romneycare is abhorent to most of us; while he was in office, it was successful. It wasn't until he left office and the Democrats started appending new coverages, benefits and additional costs to the program, that it failed financially. However, Romney created and started the train, that went on to become a train wreck years later.
