1. While you were the Governor of Massachusetts you introduced legislation that created a state-run healthcare system, funded by taxpayers, which many referred to as ‘RomneyCare.’ The plan that Obama and the Democrats wish to impose on the entire country is based in part upon your program in Massachusetts. How can the voters trust you with the healthcare issue when you are one of the very politicians who implemented a program they have clearly indicated they do not want?
2. Do you support a revised version of RomneyCare for the entire country, and if not, why? And if so, why would you expect GOP voters to choose you as the Party’s standard-bearer?
3. Do you believe that the individual states are free in this Constitutional Republic to implement programs such as a government-controlled healthcare system that requires citizens to purchase HC policies?
4. Do you believe that such programs in the individual states are Constitutional?
5. While you were Governor of Massachusetts you were known for your hostility to Second Amendment rights for individual citizens. Several gun rights organizations gave you a rating of ‘F’ on protecting the gun rights of individuals. Do you believe that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, protects the individual’s right to own, possess, and use firearms, or do you view the amendment as a so-called ‘collective right’ that is reserved only to the militia?
6. If you believe that the 2nd Amendment refers to an individual right as the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed last year in a landmark decision, then why did you support so many attempts by gun-control activists in Massachusetts to place severe limits and restrictions on that right nearly to the point of rendering it useless?
7. Do you believe that the federal government should be keeping a national database on gun owners, such as those who apply for concealed carry permits?
8. Do you support microstamping laws for ammo and firearms that gun-hostile states such as California have enacted?
9. Do you believe that the use of eminent domain by local governments to condemn private property so that big businesses can build on that property, thus increasing the tax base for those communities, is an appropriate use of the law?
10. Will you support measures to halt the confiscation of private property on the part of federal agencies, such as the EPA that claims such tactics are intended to ‘preserve endangered species,’ leaving property owners liable for taxes while depriving them of the use of their property?
Republican Iowa Caucus: Huckabee and McCain Big GOP Winners in IowaIowa Republican caucuses, 2008
Romney spent plenty of money to finish third.
Lots and lots of slick mailers, as befits his slick image.
He came unglued on WHO Des Moines morning host Jan Mickelson's show when Mickelson pushed his Mormon buttons; then went on and on about hidden video cameras.
WHO Des Moines afternoon host Steve Deace pushed Huckabee and bashed Romney, reflecting the conservative Christian audience.
Romney is not pro-life, is anti-gun, is pro-socialist-healthcare.
He is a loser.
Did I mention Mitt Romney is a loser.
I already know the answers to just about all of those questions. I take the time to listen and read.
