Romney is a liberal fascist, and his Mass. health care shenanigans have fueled the Democrats’ continued march towards Communism here in the US.

I don't see it that way. What it means to me is that even if a universal health care system is implemented by a person who believes in free market capitalism, what you end up with is what we have in Massachusetts. If we look at the details of what happened there, we have one more data point on what we want or do not want for America. We now have UK, Canada, and Mass. to warn us what will happen. If we didn't have those data points, people may have fallen for the “impossible dream” of what the left promises. I think we can't have anything like that in America, or every time the Democrats get into power they will evolve it in that direction. I am sorry for Massachusetts, but if they want the system, I am glad for them to be there as a warning to the rest of the country.
So I think the Massachusetts experiment makes it less likely we will have the same for America, not more likely.

Maine already created a single payer monster. Tennessee has failed. Oregon is failing.

There’s plenty of examples out there. All bad. With Mittless, it’s a variation of the, “It’s not Socialism when I do it” mentality.

Yes, Romney is a liberal (duty cycle ~ 99.8% pure liberal)
fascist (and a proven fascist, at that).

No one who believes in free market capitalism would ever implement any “universal health care system”.

Romney is a typical liberal- he believes in less freedom for the little people.

The problem is, the donks are already using the failure in Massachusetts to argue that the GOP is wrong about health care, and what we really need is "single payer." Because Romney signed it and now champions it, its failure gets hung around the necks of the GOP as a whole.
