[SE Mom]

Charles Gibson will moderate the Republican and Democrat debates tonight in New Hampshire, beginning at 7 PM Eastern.

Have at it..

[Terrence DoGood]

I think he’s all but saying that. If you listen closely he talked a bit about doing what is needed on the to prevent health care cost.

[PresbyRev]

Property taxes are unconstitutional; it is a de facto assertion that the state owns all property - its subjects are only leasing it.

Auto insurance would seem to be a form of taxation or fee, like a toll, in order to use a public roadway.

Romney’s ‘health insurance mandate’ is many things, but not a free market approach to health care reform.

[Shortstop7]

Hehee....McCain had a funny moment.

[rintense]

It isn’t but more and more employers are partnering with heath insurance providers to do this. They’re called health risk assessments. There are a ton of employers in Michigan who are doing this.

[TheLion]

Drive without auto insurance in Virginia and your license is suspended!

[Signalman]

Romney is for compulsory health insurance, that is just as bad as socialism.

No it's not. Have you heard of compulsory liability insurance for automobile drivers? It's the same concept. If an uninsured driver causes an accident, the rest of us have to pay for it.

[SE Mom]

Noooo...he’s been their punching bag tonight- he’s been shown for what he is. It’s been hilarious!

[Sun]

Check out post #447 and ask them why Duncan Hunter who came in THIRD in Wyoming is not there.

[penelopesire]

“tgslTakoma wrote: Duncan Hunter should have the seat that Ron Paul is wasting.”

“”Well that is the damn truth!””

WORTH REPEATING AGAIN!!

[dforest]

The Huckster does better in a different format, one he can control.

[kjam22]

McCain.... swing and a miss on healthcare. Give every health provider a fixed amount for a certain disease? That’s a dumb answer.

[Master of Orion]

Romney says he wont make a federal mandate, he would just give Taxpayer money collected at the federal level to States if THEY would enforce mandates. Nice freekin spin MITT. what a shyster!

Sounds an awful lot like the 55mph speed limit mandate.

[Chuck54]

Face it unspun.

The Huckster is so yesterday. Trust me!

He’s about as popular among main stream conservatives as Hillary.

[angelcindy]

He must of got that from chuck

[B Knotts]

I was disappointed that Ron Paul, instead of going off on a delusional rant, didn’t point out that the problem with health care costs is that most health care is purchased by a third party, which will always result in higher usage. MSAs would help in that regard.

[reasonisfaith]

“OH MITT JUST STEPPED IN IT : I LIKE GOVERNMENT MANDATES”

And Fred said, “Yeah, your own”.

BAM!!

!!!!

[AmericanMade1776]

Huckleberry is not playing to well , not much better than Ron Paul.

[gidget7]

Ask any group of MA residents how Romneycare is working out for them!

[CASchack]

The gloves are off and there have been some good shots all around.

[Fawn]

True-—but you can TRY to make someone else look stupid.....like MItt is trying to do.
