Not even remotely close, my friend.
A few pandering PC comments from Romney, most of which were said nearly 15 years old in the heat of a campaign vs Ted Kennedy, and you have conjured up in your mind this uber-lib Hillary clone.
That is pure fantasy. Hillary, if in power, would withdraw our military from the WOT, cave to the UN jihadists, kiss Jesse Jackson butt, raise taxes while demonizing the wealthy, she would demonize and attack the faithful Christians, she would launch the Dept. of Quota's .....
Romney's message and record has NONE of those tendancies --- no matter how much you hate him.
He got good marks from many ProLife watchdog groups. He got good marks from many Tax watchdog and fiscally responsible watchdog groups.
He was constantly demonized by the homo now crowd because he refused to implement their demands.
Did he make some dumb pandering statements over the years?? You bet.
But his record of governance is really fairly good -- and lastly, the Massachusetts health plan is based on getting private insurance companies to offer low cost catastrophic plans -- similar to mandated auto insurance.
It is NOT a government run system like proposed by Hillary in 1993.
And I do not “hate” Mitt.
I will not vote for him, and neither will a whole lot of republicans and conservatives, but I do not “hate” him
Use your head. Look at what that did to insurance premiums.
They tripled overnight, and we still have nearly the same number of uninsured drivers on the road before it went into effect.
Romneycare isn't based on 'offering' low-cost catastrophic plans. It's based on compulsory insurance that costs nearly three-hundred dollars per month and cripples small businesses. Not only that; they can and will come after you if you refuse coverage even if you're young, healthy and don't need it.
The man's a hard-line socialist.

I can make a choice of not driving to avoid mandated auto insurance, what can I do to avoid mandated health insurance?????suicide?
