I think the Romney Care Obama Care distinction could have been overcome. What could not be over come is the fact that R/R let the assumption that Bush was to blame for the economy stand. They let Obama’s part in bin Laden stand. They got to the energy issue way too late. And they called Obama a “nice guy.”
All of this after calling Newt the devil.
“I think the Romney Care Obama Care distinction could have been overcome.”
I intently tried to differentiate the two. Every attempt at an explanation by Romney or one of his supporters fell flat to me. The state vs federal is BS. It is big intrusive socialist government at any level regardless of whether the founding documents of the implementing entity allows it or not.
Great point. The GOP totally ran away from the Bush story. Average unemployment 5.8%, average yearly deficit $134B, average price of gas $2.50/gal, national debt after 8 years of GWB and 42 other presidents about $9 T. Compare that with Obama’s record over 4 years, but not one republican ever made that comparison. They just let Obama and the media spread the lie until it became fact. Somewhere Goebels is smiling today.
