WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says President Barack Obama is struggling to get a health care bill because he has been too deferential to the liberal wing of his party.

Romney said that "if the president wants to get something done, he needs to put aside the extreme liberal wing of his party."

Oh Romney, only you would know.

I think that if the GOP wants to get anything done, it should purge its RINO wing, including Romney.

Meat’s back on the menu today.

What is funny is the Massachusetts model is used as an example for the national model.. now who was responsible for that? Hmmmm...

[Antoninus]

This guy really does think that we’re all stupid, doesn’t he?

“I think that if the GOP wants to get anything done, it should purge its RINO wing, including Romney. “

My tagline speaks for itself.

He must think we can't Google his past.

[Cicero]

Yeah, he should “reach across the aisle” like you did, eh, Mitt?

We all know Romney was able to set aside his liberal views to run for President.

Whomever runs for the Republican nomination next time will have no problem destroying Romney, now that we are so much more aware of the health care issue.

Romney is a fraud and should be kicked out of the party.

Below is what a real conservative leader says about ObamaCare.

“Barack Obama’s health care plan should have an appearance before its own policy end of life panel, to be put out of business” - Tim Pawlenty

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yep.

Yesterday Hannity asked him if he is running in 2012, and he gave some roundabout answer about not having thought that far ahead.

BS

He is in full campaign mode now. It’s clear to anyone looking (not that I fault anyone for running, but come on.)

For some reason he already has most conservative talk show hosts in his back pocket (Hannity was almost apologising for him yesteray, trying to explain why RomneyCare wasn’t really Romney’s fault and any problems with it were really due to the state legislature.)

Romney’s running. No doubt about it. If conservatives don’t start early to get behind a SINGLE candidate, Romney will be it. He’s got too much party insider support and momentum already. This is how we got McCain, and the same process is shaping up that will result in Romney as the 2012 candidate.

Sarah Palin has 10x as many fans as Romney on Facebook. That should tell you all you need to know. If she runs, Romney is toast.

America could survive and would. . .with Romney. It will not survive with Obama and the radical Left in power.

[Servant of the Cross]

Mitt has given Romneycare an A?! and calls it, in its CURRENT form, his greatest achievement proudly highlighting it in his recently commissioned $30,000 portrait:

The portrait depicts the governor seated at the front edge of his desk wearing his trademark business suit. Beside him is a small framed photo of his wife, Ann, and ... [wait for it] ... a copy of the health care reform law he called his greatest achievement.

However, this "great achievement"'s spending has doubled in the last two years, jumping from $630 million in 2007 to an estimated $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2009.

Way to go Mitt. This is a useful headline for us.

If Mitt can make front page news criticizing the Commies, then more power to him.

[GOPJ]

When ObamaCare fails - a Clunkers type disaster - and everyone knows someone who lost a family member because there was NO medical care available - the dems will be finished. Finished forever. And still - we're better off fighting them to save our fellow citizens.

America might, but it would be the end of the GOP. For evidence, just look what he did to the Massachusetts GOP, he destroyed it with his compromising with the left-wing.

[SoConPubbie]

If Mitt can make front page news criticizing the Commies, then more power to him.

Too bad he couldn't do it without lying about his health-care boondoggle.

[skyman]

Romney is a liberal Republican but that’s still a long way from being a liberal Democrat.

But compared to Obama he looks conservative.

But we can do far better in 2012.

Thanks for staying on these RINOs, last year conservative talk radio selected him in primary because he is an expert at talking like a conservative.

The irony alone is delicious...
