Mitt Romney's Strange Answer

I am equally surprised at the level of venom directed at Perry over issues like Social Security from people on our own side. These idiots spent the whole debate carrying Milts water while the name Obama was barely mentioned. What a bunch of dopes, and that includes my man Santorum, who felt his time better spent slamming Perry on an issue that no one cares about like Gardasil and not hitting Obama on the economy. It is an economy election for crying out loud.

>> Romneycare is the exact same thing Perry did with the Gardasil deal in Texas. It was a state issue and it was voted on by both houses and passed. For Romney the state has the right in his case but in Perry's case it's not ok. <<

Slick Mitt should just take a page from Slick Rick's play book and claim his scheme to have more government control over people's lives was a victory for "states rights" ...

Up here in Massachusetts, we believe in STATES RIGHTS and I was just standin' up against the Bush administration's attempt to impose their will on us and DENY the people of Mass. their God-given right to health care! Massachusetts can determine what's best for their citizens better than the feds can! DON'T MESS WITH MASS! Abolish the 17th amendment and we can be rid of Scott Brown, too! Yee-haw!

Romneycare is the exact same thing Perry did with the Gardasil deal in Texas. It was a state issue and it was voted on by both houses and passed.

Gardasil was not 'voted on and passed' by both houses. Perry signed an executive order mandating the vaccine, the legislature then passed a bill (HB 1098) to overturn it.

There is no federal law requiring auto insurance.

[Salvey]

On his radio show earlier today, Lou Dobbs praised Romney’s answer as being forthright and unequivocal.

[Mariner]

"He is just Huntsman with name recognition."

Yes, except even Huntsman was to the right of Perry on the executive order for Guardasil, and Romeny to the Right of Perry on the border, "Of course we need a fence".

[Magic Fingers]

“There is no federal law requiring auto insurance.”

I know. I didn’t say there is.

[achilles2000]

The fence issue isn’t what people think. Perry supports some fence, but if you go toward West Texas along the border you’d be building fence over mountains and through ravines. The same thing is true in NM and AZ. A fence needs to be part of the solution, but there is no way around needing a lot more boots on the ground, as well as recon drones and other technology. Then you need to make it as close to impossible for illegals to be hired, stop cities from being de jure or defacto “sanctuary cities” and do everything possible to cut off social welfare benefits. Deportations also need to be swift and certain.

A few radically originalist SCOTUS justices are sorely needed, too, to clean up the mess by shutting down the litigation strategies by the ACLU and La Raza.

[ilgipper]

You are comparing the errant, failing Romneycare that has messed up health care in Massachusetts with an opt out vaccine in Texas? Really? Really? Completely different issues.

[EternalVigilance]

Romney is a statist. What a surprise. /s

“You have to have auto insurance if you have an automobile,”

That tired crap AGAIN? You have to have liability insurance to protect other people from your screw-ups, NOT insurance on your car...

---

You beat me to it, MF! That’s an old liberal argument that has always gotten my dander up.

If you’re paying on a vehicle loan, the creditor will require insurance on the vehicle; but, if the vehicle is owned outright you do not have to have insurance on it. It’s the State that requires liability insurance if you want to drive any vehicle.

[Impy]

Mitt obviously still believes in the individual mandate. Good for him not to flip flop.

Now when is switching to the democratic primary?

[Finny]

“You have to have auto insurance if you have an automobile,” That tired crap AGAIN? You have to have liability insurance to protect other people from your screw-ups, NOT insurance on your car...

Worth repeating! Well stated.

Speaking of things Romney... my mom, stepdad and I were having a discussion about the Romneys and Mitt's ex-Michigan guv George V. came up. Was George Romney a former auto exec? My stepdad (who's retired from R&D for a major oil company) seems to remember G. Romney being an exec at Nash and helping develop the Rambler. Can someone jog my stepdad's memory (and provide a link)? Yahoo and Wiki aren't helping. Thanks.

It’s called blind ambition.

[9YearLurker]

Next thing you know, Mitt’s going to be saying, “Some of my best friends are conservatives.”

[Tennessee Nana]

To give a strange answer first you have to be a strange answer-man

and Willie Mitty fits the bill...

[foreverfree]

Mitt's ex-Michigan guv George V.

That should read "Mitt's dad ex-Michigan guv George V." [blush]

But the rest of post #35 still stands.
