A GOP frontrunner in the party's 2012 primary with a checkered past on health care, Mitt Romney produced a rather bold headline today with his op-ed in the USA Today: As first act, out with ObamaCare.
"Health care is more than just one-sixth of the American economy. It is a source of well-being for individuals and families. We are blessed with much that is good in American health care. But we have taken a turn for the worse with ObamaCare, with its high taxes and vastly expanded federal control over our lives. I believe the better course is to empower the states to determine their own health care futures."

Historically, most folks dislike for Romney has less to do with healthcare than it does with his flip-flops on *every single issue.* Which, I guess, now includes healthcare. He just can’t be trusted.
I'm guessing that means Federal Rules, Oversight, Mandates and Money.
Not interested.
Actually its 2014 is the key year not 2012.
Why not go all the way and try full communism at the state level? By your logic, that’s what private enterprise does.
(Jeesh!)
He is the father of the healthcare mandate which Forces
people against their will to buy something or get screwed by the govt !
To 10 - LOL He wears it well.
Medical care in the state of MA is in a state of decay. Primary Care Docs are going away in droves. Hospitals are laying people off left and right.
It is only getting worse. Every day.
Mitt Romney will never be President. He will get ripped apart in the primaries. He should save everyone the time and money and just go home.
Problem is Romney does not believe it didn’t work and he has no idea what a conservative idea is. Remember, the liberals try stuff all the time. Just like Romney, they keep talking it up whether it works or not. Romney is very proud of Romneycare. He gladly takes responsibility for it. He believes it is a huge success. It does not matter to him that it “mandates” free people to make a purchase, removes personal responsibility from the equation, pays for abortions, or requires handouts from the federal govt to “work.”
I don't think so. Repeal numbers are still north of 60% which show that the regime blew it when they rammed it through. They assumed that it would become popular after passage or at the very least people wouldn't care. Wrong. Everyone is getting hit with higher premiums and more BS trying to get care. This is going to be a rough issue for the Obummer in '12 and if it isn't stopped in the courts, it will be expected of the new Pres to end it immediately.
He's working on it. He is just not sure which gun to pick. He needs to chose something to satisfy both the Bushmaster fans and it's detractors.
All fine and good, but Myth refuses to admit anything is wrong in MA. He continually blames the worst parts of it on others even though last month the Liberal professor who help craft it with Romney said point blank that he wanted single payer and all the problems he blames on others, he put in himself. He will go to his grave touting the greatness of this disaster.
If you take note of the papers on Myths desk in his Gov portrait, they are the Romneycare bill. He is so attached to this turkey he had it put in his portrait with his wife for posterity. There are no regrets from him.
Good!!! The Republicans need to hold fast on NOT raising the debt ceiling & defunding Obamacare as it goes!!! Until it can be repealed that is. Also Rat out all the ones that got waivers & expect us taxpayers to foot the bill while they get off free a while. I hope there are enough patriots to do this!!!
James Madison - Federalist #45:
The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State Governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will for the most part be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people; and the iternal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.

Governor Mitt Romney has signed into law a permanent assault weapons ban that he says will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on these guns. "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen's groups and gun safety advocates. "These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
Sorry, Mutt. No way, no how.
His RomneyBOTs here LOVE Romney's "knives"
taken from the backs of Gov. Palin and her children.
To a RomneyBOT, that backstabbing makes Romney: "NEXT".
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
