Romney Urges Republicans to 'Stand Up' to Obama's Policies [as he extols the virtues of Romney Care]
Fox News ^ | 2009-07-01

On health care, Romney pointed to the successes of his own plan but criticized Obama's for its emphasis on a public option.

"The president's plan makes an enormous error by saying we're going to put government into the insurance business. We got everyone in Massachusetts insured and we did it without putting government into the insurance business," he said. "We said instead we're going to help people get private free enterprise kind of insurance they can buy from a number of different companies."

He said the system led to plunging premiums while offering a healthy choice of options for consumers.

"It's working well. We got 440,000 more people insured than when the plan was put in place, it costs less than 2 percent of the state budget -- it's a plan that's working, it's a good model," he said.

It cost the “state” so little because it cost individuals and businesses, instead.

Romney, please shut up.

I keep hearing from people that Romney is now the clear favorite going in to 2012, Carl Cameron said this today.

I say Sarah is the clear favorite!

SO much for the “he regrets what his plan has become” crowd of Mitt Sycophants around here.

The longer this goes the more amusing the Mittbots have become to me.

It really is a hoot watching them defend this schmuck and cry foul (or bigot) when we point out the very obvious and well documented (and growing everyday)fact this guy is no Conservative.

How’s your health care program in Massachusetts working Mitt?

Wishful thinking by DC RINOs who have not been paying attention to the crowds Governor Palin has been drawing or how the military really rolled out the red carpet for her aboard the Stennis and in Kosovo last week.

You fail to understand Mitt is the clear favorite and it is his turn.

The Country Club Elite Republicans (and their sycophants here on FR) have said so, and we need to take our little ignorant asses and our ignorant trailer park candidate back to the house.

Our betters have spoken.

LOL...

Romney has basically been running for President for what now the past 4 years. I wish he would go back to Bain and leave us alone.

Next, they will say that y'all should vote for their boy, because you have nowhere else to go! (not /sarc)

I’ll take Romney over Obama and/or I’ll take Palin over Obama. I also refuse to be sucked into the “real conservative” great pumpkin watch this time around.

Thank you.

We need to win. We need to dump the Dems in Congress and in the WH. Playing the "I'm staying home cuz he/she isn't a real conservative", simply allows the Dems to destroy America.

Electing a liberal in conservative clothing -- i.e., bringing the Trojan horse inside the city walls -- is not an act of winning. It's an act of utter stupidity.
