Romney: I'll Take Credit for Obamacare

NRO ^ | Apr. 14, 2010 | Rich Lowry

[Al B.]

How Romney handles the health-care issue going forward will be a ticklish challenge. I'm pretty sure, though, that this is not the way to do it. From the Sunday New York Times:

[...]

He added, “If ever again somewhere down the road I would be debating him, I would be happy to take credit for his accomplishment.”

[TYVets]

That has to be the winner of the stupid remark of the year contest.

[FrankR]

Well, he's an obamaclone and he's starting out the same way obama did...full of ARROGANCE.

As I think back, I don't remember at what point in the last two years that healthcare became a National crisis.

Probably because it was obama-created to have another entitlement to trade for votes.

Romney did the same thing...vote for Romney and you get White Obama. Look how his boy sidekick - Scott Brown - fooled us all...and Romney is his mentor.

[Frantzie]

It seems like Romney is a decent family man but he is a clueless idiot and a liberal. Just go away Mitt. Even decent Repubs like Santorum and Pataki are light years better than Romney.

[Yossarian]

"What a maroon!"

[dr_who]

Exactly. He’s another “maverick” which is usually another name for Democrat.

[Uncle Miltie]

If enough Democrats cross over during primaries, we could get Romney. He would be their favorite choice. Maybe that’s his play. Worked for Comrade Juan McNuts.

[McGruff]

I can be just a socialist as that other guy.

[Antoninus]

There will be no nose-holding if Romney gets the nomination from the GOP. I will be actively working for whoever the strongest third party candidate is.

Enough is enough.

[ConservativeMind]

So why has Romney vehemently denied the programs are effectively the same? Why has he said he work to change 0bamacare?

Romney is a freaking idiot. Thanks NYT for showing this to the world.

Anything that stops this stupid man is helpful.

flip - flop ... flip - flop ... flip - flop

[Le Chien Rouge]

The media will declare Romney as front runner for the GOP nomination in 2012. Mitt is the ideal candidate the MSM wants/desires to run against Obama.

MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!

[a fool in paradise]

Ted Danson's counting on Romney being the nominee. He needs the work.

[Made In The USA]

All done Romney. Pack it up and go home.

If I wasn’t certain about NOT being in favor of Mitt before, this seals it. DONE.

[Waryone]

Hey speak for yourself. Scott Brown didn’t fool all of us. I was glad he won, but I know full well that nothing good comes out of Massachusetts. Willard Mittens being absolute proof of that.

[Lazamataz]

No, you misunderstand. I’m agreeing with you. Romney supporters support obamacare by-proxy.

[pissant]

Romney: Making McCain look smart by comparison.

[Doohickey]

Taken in context, I think Romney was just being faceteous.

I still think he’s an asshat.

[svcw]

Ok, then I'll stop gnawing on my foot.
You will see on other threads, and maybe showing up on this one, there are many supporters on FR of Romney. I will say as far as I can tell they are all lds.
Thanks for clarifying. Sorry I misunderstood you.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

He added, “If ever again somewhere down the road I would be debating him, I would be happy to take credit for his accomplishment.”

Fail.

[Lazamataz]

Doesn't mean I don't want you banned, though.

But it's more whimsical than anything.
