Obozo has a new ad on his YouTube channel featuring Mitt Romney selling the individual mandate and why it was necessary.
Can anyone really explain how ObamaCare as a major campaign issue is going to benefit Mittens?
Obama has no case his record will cost him the election and set socialism back years.
OK. So play the odds. Which President is more likely to sign legislation repealing Obamacare? President Romney or President Obama?
Romney has made repealing Obamacare a centerpiece of his campaign. If the Congress repeals the law, Romney will not veto the repeal.
Romney’s a squish. I know. I don’t like it either.
But which President will sign a repeal of Obamacare? Romney or Obama? Vote accordingly.
I wish that we got a better candidate out of the Primary process. But Romney is the candidate we have, and we have to choose. To me, this choice is obvious. As bad as Romney is, and he is pretty bad, he is no where near as bad as Obama.
So, how would that work?
First, Congress has to pass a repeal. This should be a pretty straightforward process, since the House is already on board, and they will only need 51 votes in the Senate. When Congress passes the repeal, Romney will sign it. He may be a squish, but he has made repealing Obamacare a centerpiece of his campaign. One can only flip-flop so much.
Then Congress will have to pass substitute legislation. Given the solid Republican majority in the House and (hopefully) the Senate, there is no way that legislation is going to look like Obamacare. My fondest hope is that they don't manage to pass anything at all.
In any case, Romney is a better choice going forward. The re-election of President Obama would set Obamacare in stone. This is unacceptable. That anybody could be whining about the choice in having to vote against Obama at this point boggles my mind. Voting against Obama should be automatic.
“Romney has made repealing Obamacare a centerpiece of his campaign. If the Congress repeals the law, Romney will not veto the repeal. “
We at least he hasn’t told us to read his lips.
At the end of the day, EVERY SINGLE ISSUE which the
GOP could have had against Obama and the DNC
WILL BE MOOT WITH MITT.
MOOT WITH MITT : ROMNEYCARE/OBAMACARE
MOOT WITH MITT : GAY MARRIAGE WITHOUT A VOTE
MOOT WITH MITT : TARP
MOOT WITH MITT : SHARIA
MOOT WITH MITT : FOREIGN BORN FATHER
MOOT WITH MITT : GLOBAL WARMING HOAX
MOOT WITH MITT : FAILURE IN GOVERNING
And here is the SOLUTION; Mr. ROMNEY, PULL OUT NOW!!!!!
“Obama has no case his record will cost him the election and set socialism back years.”
Yeah, but his Obama’s) vulture capitalist ads are setting the terms of the campaign and Romney is, at least in Pennsylvania, taking the hits, and he (Romney) is not running any ads that I’ve seen.
We need to see ordinary people whose jobs were lost and factories closed due to excessive taxation and regulation. Romney’s AWOL.
Now, what do you think are the chances that Obama would veto Repeal? I would say the chances of his vetoing would be on the order of 100%. It would be so certain that nobody would even bother sending him the bill. With Obama in the White House, Obamacare is set in stone.
So, which option are you going to pick, the 50% Option or the No-Way-In-Hell Option?
Romney’s not going to win unless he takes control of the debate. Obama’s ads are doing a wonderful job of fixing images in people’s minds of Romney that associates him with closed factories and ordinary blue collar looking people who are out of work. If Romney cannot turn that around and associate the job losses with Obama in people’s minds, he’s have a hard time getting enough votes.
Thank you Newt for bringing this up.
Correct. For me this is old news. Nothing new to rehash.
Democrats are late to the party. True conservative have been ranting against Romney for a few years or at least a bunch of months.
But now the dummies on the left think it is something they found and are excited about it. Well I don’t think they realize that real conservatives oppose Mitt.
Having said that, as you said, we tried to warn them and Newt and Santorum and even Perry did their darnedest to expose Romney but to no avail. So you reap what you sow GOP.
And this is why I was not happy when all three endorsed Romney instead of working to oust him at a convention. You know the story.
This is why I am not voting for Romney and Obama. I’m voting for Goode or writing in Palin.
I will not attack those that feel compelled to vote for romney... as I held that attitude for several decades. I have never seen any change in the way the gop controls their nomination process... they manipulate who they allow to vote in their primaries and they play loose with their rules and the way that electors are committed and they spend huge amounts of money trying to destroy CONSERVATIVE CHALLENGERS. They conspire to keep candidates off of certain State ballots... and if all else fails... they will spend 10's of millions in attack ads against any Conservative threat that arises during the primary election.
I refuse to allow them to force my vote for another one of their progressive socialist candidates... never again. I have given them over 100K over the years... went to Florida to battle the evil gore-icals and have walked neighborhoods, answered phone banks and worked as hard as I could to elect their candidates. All I have received in return is lies, hatred of who we are and what we believe in, their constant trying to minimize any influence that Conservatives work to attain and then when they arrive in DC... they work against us and lie to us.
An example was Cut, Cap and Balance and their lies during that entire debacle. They are a progressive party and they are corrupt and evil... maybe not as corrupt and as evil as obama and the dims... but is that what we really want in a party? If not now... when do we do something about it? The primary elections are controlled completely so anyone using that as an excuse has already be proved wrong... and many past elections stand as my proof.

“I will repeal and REPLACE obamacare”. That is his position and that is his staement.
LLS
Romney’s AWOL
We need to see ordinary people whose jobs were lost.
You may see ads with people who lost jobs and a story or two about Obama killing the coal Ind.
Patience never show the big guns first,with Obama your dealing with a Mafis style mover.
“Patience never show the big guns first,with Obama your dealing with a Mafis style mover.”
I disagree. Republicans always make that mistake. You need to fix an image of your opponant in the public mind, rather than spending all your time refuting the image of your candidate that the opponant has already fixed in their minds. Obama is fixing an image of Romney, and Redublicans in general as profitng from killing jobs and closed factories. It will be difficult to change that image, and Romney is doing NOTHING to do so, and nothing to show Obama asd politically benefitting from killing jobs.
Romney=Dole=Bush41. They’re pretty ruthless in destroying their Republican opponants, and act like gentlemen when running against Dems, who are NOT gentlemen.
Obama is fixing an image of Romney
With the short term memory his supporters have I wouldn’t put much faith in that.
In Sept & Oct the facts about Obama will finish his chances of a win.
With no jobs he is lost only the slackers will vote for him.
Have you ever run a political campaign?
Congress will likely not pass a bill for total repeal, as they have already given signals that they want to keep the “best parts of the plan.” Once Obozo is out, it just goes back to business as usual with these clowns.
It isn’t the salesman that sells the product it’s the quality of the product that makes the sale.
Obama is a defective product.
To your question the answer is no,I don’t like to lie.
“It isn’t the salesman that sells the product it’s the quality of the product that makes the sale.”
In fantasyland. The quality of the product is important, but so is the quality of the marketing. They don’t beat a path to your door to get a better mousetrap if thye don’t know about it, or don’t need to trap mice.
A candidate needs to do two things. He needs to give the voters a reason to vote for him, and he needs to give the voters a reason to vote against his opponant. If either is missing he reduces his chances of winning, no matter how good a candidate he is.
If you want to win, and you are the honest candidate, you need to fix in people’s minds the image of yourself and of your opponant that is accurate. If you are a dishonest candidate, you need to fix in people’s minds false images of yourself and of your opponant. Obama is doing that. Romney is failing. Once those images are fixed in people’s minds, they are hard to dispel or replace in our bumper sticker slogan world.
It’s the real world. Refusing to face that is like driving your car with your eyes closed.
Even a flawed candidate like Romney should be leading a bum like Obama by a landslide, yet he isn’t.
Not that I like Romney's Massachusetts plan, but ObamaScare raids Medicare to the tune of $720 billion and takes away the Medicare Advantage option, RomneyKare in Massachusetts did not do that.
That IS a big issue, especially for seniors.
