Which was heralded by the Reagan-favored Heritage Foundation.
The Heritage Foundation has been a reliable source fotr conservatives over the years. But Reagan favored the Heritage Foundation 20 years ago. This is 2007. Times change and on this issue the Heritage Foundation is wrong. I've read a few conservative evaluations and analysis of RomneyCare. Most say RomneyCare is similar to HillaryCare. That is not a good comparison. Also, the vaunted Heritage Foundation took a $25,000 donation from Romney's charitable foundation. That is a conflict of interest. Maybe not a biggie, but a conflict of interest nonetheless.
I was told you decided to support Romney at this stage. Hard to believe. Romney has made an effort to sound like a conservative, but he is not a conservative. Without a doubt he's flip flopped on several key issues. RomneyCare is not an issue he's changed his tune on. Those would be abortion, guns and gays. Granted, Romney is better than Giuliani, but only marginally. I see Romney as a political centrist.
On healthcare:
"We insist that everybody who drives a car has insurance. And cars are a lot less expensive than people."
~~~ Governor Mitt Romney
Sounds familiar, in a way.
"We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions -- and really stronger ones -- that exist for driving an automobile."
~~~ Mayor Rudy Giuliani, March 2, 1997
Good luck to you.
