Romney quiet on health care because his plan is a dismal failure

None of those things you mentioned are part of Romney's economic plan. Safe to assume you have no idea what's in his economic plan and are just going by what Hugh Hewitt and others have been spouting?

Romney has a solid understanding of the destructive nature of taxation and over regulation in regards to business.

Right. That's why he raised "fees" in Massachusetts, not taxes. And that's why he set up a socialized medicine scheme that's in the process of going belly-up.

[rolls eyes...]

..we're on the same page--again ;- )

If only the conservative media and the Romney-Bots had jumped on the Duncan Hunter bandwagon with the same kind of enthusiasm. We could have avoided this whole mess.

And yet Romney is looking good next to McCain and the Huckster. That’s how bad the GOP is now.

What is Juan McAztlan’s health care plan? Free health care for illegals?

That plus free citizenship!

[untrained skeptic]

What is Juan McAztlan’s health care plan? Free health care for illegals?

Don't forget his assertions that the pharmaceutical companies are all corrupt and need much more stringent regulation.

McCain is a populist, which is another way of saying he believe in big government regulation. However, he has also argued for extending entitlement benefits to illegal aliens, so saying he only supports more regulation might be selling his liberalism short.

He does argue for spending cuts. I just don't see where he would cut since he seems to support so many social programs.

Surprisingly enough the one thing he didn't fight was the Clinton administration gutting our military.

They're both awful

Just look at how low we've sunk. We are now reduced to arguing over which one is less awful -- and getting angry with each other about it!

This is bad.

Why anyone thinks Romney is somehow "better" than McCain is beyond me.

Some of us think the border and free speech are big issues. We're not enthused about Romney, but do not want the party destroyed by a crazy old man who hates conservatives and conservatism.

[GunRunner]

No conservative should support this guy for ANY reason.

This conservative is. You McCain apologists need a dose of history as to why we won't ever support McCain and would rather hold our nose for Romney:

John McCain, you treasonous bastard by Jim Robinson

You said it. This is what happens when you let the media (and the conservative media, too, apparently) pick your candidates for you.

[Antoninus]

You McCain apologists need a dose of history as to why we won't ever support McCain and would rather hold our nose for Romney:

Point out where I've been an apologist for John McCain. The best thing I've ever said about him is that I could vote for him against Hillary, assuming he picks a good running mate. Hardly high praise.

As for your linking to JimRob's post, I point you toward this one:

Seven good reasons to support Mike Huckabee [be sure to read reason number seven] -- by Jim Robinson

I took his advice.

[Antoninus]

We're not enthused about Romney, but do not want the party destroyed by a crazy old man who hates conservatives and conservatism.

So you'll have the party destroyed by a scheming slightly younger man who hates conservatives while pretending to be one.

Your choice is between arsenic and cyanide.

I'm going with "neither."

[OPS4]

Mitt is a Corporate mouth piece, from the same Country club as Teddy K. and J. Kerry.

McCain 2008

[OPS4]

Why was Jim Robinsons Link pulled under your post?

[GunRunner]

Don’t know. It was there a second ago.

[OPS4]

Its working now, apparently the server slowed down, thanks for the post I missed Jims post the other day.

[GunRunner]

So you'll have the party destroyed by a scheming slightly younger man who hates conservatives while pretending to be one.

Hey, you voted for Huckabee. I think the case can be made that for him if you're single issue voter on the 2nd Amendment; he the best on gun rights.

But Huckabee would govern more like a big nanny stater than Romney; hence his open borders stance and support of a nationwide smoking ban.

But I especially like Jim Rob's number two reason: he is NOT McCain.

Both Obama and Hillary love RomneyCare

They wrote Universal health care proposals like RINO Romney’s

Is it any mystery why US Senator Teddy Kennedy was in Boston and standing right next to RINO Romney when he signed the health bill ???

Baloney.

His health care plan was fine as devised and ruined by his successors who tacked on extra perks.

John McCain is a twisted, grotesque characture of a candidate - vicious, duplicitous, back stabbing and manipulative, his campaign tacitcs - like his political philosophies - are more akin to the Democrats with whom he has connived shamelessly the past eight to fustrate a Repubulican agenda in COngress.

He neither deserves to be elected President, nor shall he ever get elected President - Hillary OR Obama will easily trounch this major media stool pigeon in any debate. And he will lose conservative support in the process.

He is neither a Republican nor a conservative. He’s a stealth Democrat.
