From the article: In his new book, Mike Huckabee trashes “RomneyCare” – saying it’s “socialized medicine” that has
exploded costs,
worsened care for patients,
and proves why President Obama’s unpopular health care reform won't work.

From the article: In a chapter in "A Simple Government," Huckabee uses Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health care program to bolster his arguments against Obama's reforms, yoking the two tightly together. "If our goal in health-care reform is better care at lower cost, then we should take a lesson from RomneyCare, which shows that socialized medicine does not work," he writes. In an interview with the Associated Press on Wednesday night, Huckabee called RomneyCare the "800 pound gorilla in the room for him." "I think it's not a killer for him. But he has to say either 'I love it,' 'I hate it,' or, 'Hey I tried it, it didn't work and that's why I would say to you, let's not do it nationally,'" Huckabees said. "He's got to figure out how he wants to deal with it. It's the 800-pound elephant in the room for him." Huckabee said in the interview that Romney should just fess up and admit his health care program's not working.

Romney should admit that his health care plan was about as effective as Huckster’s parole program.

Nanny state Huck attacking Romneycare...

Somehow I find myself less than inspired...

Like some battle between Godzilla and Mothra over a gaping Volcanic Chasm in the Earth, I find myself rooting the Chasm...

Huckabee was on fox this weekend saying he would run if he was well funded.

taking back the I will not run. He also said he enjoys campaining.

Translation: He will run as a vote splitter for the right price.

During his presentation to the governors this morning, Obama mentioned RomneyCare, in glowing terms. We all know it has been a big flop. And yet, RomneyCare is still being used to shore up support for another failed program, the unconstitutional ObamaCare.

Romney must be so proud about now.

I’ll never forget the picture of dead Kennedy just glowing behind Romney as he signed RomneyCare into existence.

Wouldn’t that give you a little pause, knowing Ted Kennedy was fully on board?

Huckabee criticizing another candidate on spending is the pot calling the kettle black. Hopefully we won't be seeing much more of him or Romney over the next year or two. They both need to just go away.

Huck’s not mending the fences with the Mittens with this kind of talk. Since Huckabee is accused of single-handedly taking the nomination from Mitt by his supporters, I doubt they’ll ever forgive Huck, regardless of what he does.
