Oh, and hey, that's another issue I have with Romney supporters. Everytime someone challenges the liberal record of their candidate, points out the ON THE RECORD left-wing positions he's taken on everything from abortion to illegal immigration to state-mandated health insurance, the Mittbots don't ever bother to actually try to defend the undefendable record of their candidate. They just point to some endorsement he's gotten like Bay Buchanan or Robert Bork or the NRO editorial staff. As if having Bork endorse him negates his actual record or something.
Would Bork, Bay, and NRO endorse a liberal? Apparently, they would.
I think the greying of America has watered-down the contrast of what was once a black-and-white issue; the fiscal conservative resistance to universal health care.

Even our list of potential nominees on the Republican side sees a choice between six men over 60 and only Huckabee younger than 55.
How many of the Geritol candidates are going to be around for a second term if they do manage to stay this side of that great nursing home in the sky come 2012?
I think we’ll see government health care sooner than later, it will likely happen this term no matter the outcome of this election.
