Exactly right. The following will run 24/7 on the nightly news ...
Romney Gives Mass. Health Reform an 'A'
"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.
The people that go utterly insane and have seizures over the mention of his name should chill, because Mittens ain't going anywhere.
I seem to hear more and more Republicans saying it cannot be overturned so they won’t run on that. I guess in that case, putting a liberal Republican, associated with the health care debacle, at the top of the ticket won’t make the catastrophic loss in 2012 any worse.
But it is an idiotic stretch to blame him for ObamaCare. The Dumbocrats were determined from the get-go to heap that steaming pile of dog poop on the public, Mitt or no Mitt.
If Romney had any sense, he would have used the fuster cluck in Massachusetts as a reason not to take an even worse version nationwide.
Romney has proven to be a political whore, as most politicians are. Romney has just chosen Republican as his brand. I don’t think he has conviction of beliefs, and would adopt whatever stance got him elected.
I’m tired of that type of politician. There’s a big difference between listening to the public, and pandering.
Hmmm, I don’t know...Reagan was a Democrat for decades, and that didn’t hang around his neck to the point he didn’t become the greatest American and Republican President of my lifetime.
And I’m not comparing the two men, to be crystal clear. Just noting compared to Romneycare - which is a huge problem for Romney - doesn’t seem impossible to overcome.
If Romney doesn’t disavow it as Reagan disavowed the Democratic Party with his ‘I didn’t leave the party, the party left me’ classic line, then I agree, we can’t have him. Note this before you flame me: I AGREE.
If the economy continues this slide into the dustbin of history..and it will with another Owe-bama term, none of these complaints about Romeny will seem very important in hindsight. We simply can’t afford a POTUS that doesn’t have a clue about economic issues, ala McCain or Owe-bama from the 2008 election cycle.
I know many hate Romney with a passion here, and elsewhere. Fine. Lets find somebody that understands economics as well as he clearly does, and back him or her to the hilt.
Any suggestions as to who he or she is within the GOP? Paul Ryan, perhaps?
Short and sweet!
I’m not a Romneybot, but I think there is some difference in a state health program and federal Obamacare takeover of one-sixth of the economy.
Mitt Romney, Liberal Icon

Sadly, we don’t seem to have any decent potential candidates and Pawlenty is looking like the best option out of those who currently seem to be working on a run. Hopefully someone more acceptable will enter the mix.
Mitt is the Democrats new favorite Republican. Expect lavish praise of Mitt from the news media.
Romney is a Republican that Democrats & State Media can love.
Conservatives on the other hand...
I agree. I don’t despise Romney, but I don’t trust him, and he is not our man.
What is most surprising here is that the NYT is coming after Romney.
Just because there has been some confusion of the two of us by other freepers and that people think this may be an ‘April Fools’ on my part, I want to state for the record:
I DO loathe Romney. And I don’t see him bein electable in any way.
I will leave you to your thread, now, sir.
Republicans cannot credibly run on repealing Obamacare with Romney as the nominee.
This is the bottom line of a Romney nomination.
Romney needed to admit the error of this bill to have a chance in his party.
