Romney took issue with Obama's plans to change the healthcare system, which is based partially on the plan Romney helped to enact while governor of Massachusetts mandating citizens carry insurance. "The best path to healthcare reform is to let the American people make their own decisions, not have those decisions forced on them by government," Romney said.

Heavy irony in that quote!
He ought to be for “O-bozo Care” since it is very similar to “Romney Care”!

Why did you change the title? I guess that it did not meet your
agenda. Correct title
Romney joins the Obama bashing
To: Irish Eyes
Why did you change the title?I didn't change anything. I only added commentary and placed it in brackets, since it wasn't part of the original title.
Did you even read the part where Romney backtracked on RomneyCare?

Wish Romney were president instead of Obama — we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now.

If Corky from ‘Life Goes On’ was President instead of Obama, we wouldn’t be in this mess either. That doesn’t mean I’d support him for President. Although, Corky is definitely preferable to Mitt Romney.

There's a flip flopper in the woods.
To: rabscuttle385
I don’t see the “flip-flop” on gun control.
I don’t hunt, but I own guns and can shoot straight and practice often. I’ve never had to point a gun at a human being but I believe in defense of myself and my family I could shoot to kill.
So am I a flip-flopper because I don’t hunt?
I’m just curious what your definition of “flip-flopping on gun control” is.
By the way, I believe the PRIMARY reason for gun rights isn’t to go hunting or even for self-defense but because the US Constitution not only recognizes gun ownership as a HUMAN right but also implies (at least to my way of thinking) that gun ownership is a duty of good citizenship.
But I don’t hunt. So am I a flip-flopper?

Today Romney was warmly received as he paid tribute to gun rights.Isn't Romney a gun control supporter?

“I dont see the flip-flop on gun control.”
Apparently neither did the cheering crowd at the NRA.
To: rabscuttle385
“Isn't Romney a gun control supporter?”
Yes he is. When the so-called Federal “Assault Weapons” Ban expired in 2004, he was more than happy to make it permanent in Mass. when he signed a Mass version of the “Assault Weapons” ban in that state.

I think to some people here a political view is not acceptable unless it’s adhered to since birth. By that standard, it would be pretty darn hard for anyone to convert to Christianity (just to take one example) since such conversions could be seen as “flip-flopping”.
Some people here won’t accept agreement from others unless the others have met some historical prerequisites.
That not only sucks for the Republican Party, but it sucks for conservativism, too.
You can’t be a conservative because you weren’t a conservative before.
What a great standard to hold people to.
