It's certainly true that Romney didn't attack Obama on Obamacare, but he could have:
Obama's claim that Obamacare is modeled on Romneycare is technically true, but Romney did not sign Romneycare, as it now exists, into law. Massachusetts has a line item veto. Romney vetoed large portions of the bill (including the employer mandate). The legislature in Mass. was a veto-proof lib majority, and every one of Romney's line item vetos was overridden.
Romney (or his handlers) failed to ever mention any of this, and it's not as though the press was going to do it for him. The whole thing was so ridiculous that I almost agree with the people on here that claim the RINO's are secretly rooting for the Dems.
Romney is a slick, pre-packaged, pretty boy with a Barbie Doll family, a political consultant’s wet dream. So how come he lost? At some deeper level he is perceived as a power brokers’ shill, a business as usual Wall St. step n’ fetchit. Republicans need to demand a candidate with an I.Q. above that of a cabbage, something in the 150 range. Ben Carson comes to mind. A black conservative president would be poetic justice.

THE IMPOSITION OF OBAMACARE/ROMNEYCARE
AND DEATH PANELS BY MYTH ROMNEY,
THE SWIMMER AND THEIR, ALSO, LAUGHING FELON.
That’s why I’m not a Republican.
Thanks. It’s nice to see I don’t have to deliver all the tub-thumpins.
I agree with you about Sarah Palin Here she is in Louisiana, Dr. Cassidy has a chance to take Mary Landrieu out in the first run without a run off. Palin comes down here twice to camnpagin for Mannes a so called republican. All this is doing is taking votes from Cassidy. We desperately need Mary out of the senate. She is a huge supporter of Harry Reid. I don’t get Palin. and for all of the palin followers out there I snet money to her run as VP. SHe is “Threating” to run for president in 2016 I say let her do it. She will never win. But she needs to stay out of LOuisiana and ngo home and take care of her husband and chidren. It looks as though they need her mor3e than we do

People stupid enough to vote for Obama (a minority of Americans -- imaginary Americans in the form of ginned, fraudulent, harvested, and illegal votes put him over the top) have the excuse of being STUPID enough to want to be slaves to amoral government tyranny -- they don't even know they're slaves.
But when thinking, intelligent, patriotic, smart Americans vote FOR all the same crap as the price of voting "against" Obama, and that guy they voted FOR gets in office and starts implementing all the amoral slavery they abhor, then THAT IS WORSE.
Romney would have been worse than Obama, and he would be worse than Hillary or any other of the Dem Nightmares on the horizon. He would be worse because we'd have PUT HIM THERE with our eyes wide open.
Voting for Romney was making a deal with the devil, and a deal with the devil is ALWAYS a losing proposition.
I don’t know a single Republican that likes Romney. Not one.
I meant the post as a critique of Romney's poor campaign performance, not as a defense of Romney- or Obamacare.
RomneyCARE is ObamaCARE.
Socialized medicine.
They are the same. Which is why the GOP supports both.
I'm not looking for buddies on FR, just the truth. But some people can't handle the truth.
My opinions are just that, opinions. But I do think there is objective truth to be found, even on FR. I am not a relativist, for whom everyone has his own “truth” which is equally valid. For that view, I can visit the comp lit department at the local university.
