White House use Mitt Romney health-care law as blueprint for federal law
10/11/2011 | Michael Isikoff

Posted on 10/11/2011 5:43:26 AM PDT by Nextrush

Newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romney's landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romney's own health care advisors and experts to help craft the act now derided by Republicans as "Obamacare.".........

But it doesn't matter. Sure the ObamaKKKare crowd used Romneycare as part of the backbone of their plan but they also used the Soviet Union's handbook on managing rural detention facilities in Siberia as well.

Then there's that idea of having IRS enforcing monthly insurance premium payments ~ that was definitely a multi-genius sort of thing but I suspect Axelrod picked that up from one of Stalin's memos to his mother.

Can you imagine what his childhood was like ~ there he is laying on the bear rug in the middle of the cabin floor in front of the fire reading letters from The Great Leader ~ GAD!!!!

Ouch, so Perry’s ad wasn’t quite as much of a “distortion” as the Romney camp wants us to believe.

I was of the impression that little Tommy Daschle was the architect of this fiasco, and that’s why they wanted the little bastard to run the show back in ‘09.

Anybody else notice how thoroughly Tommy disappeared from the political scene?

Mitt Romney: Gun Control
We do have tough gun control laws in Mass.
I support them and will not chip away at them.


Mitt Romney: Abortion
I believe abortion should be safe and legal in this country.
I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose.
I am not going to change our pro-choice laws in Mass. in anyway.

And they will use Perry’s immigration policy against Republicans too.

Conservatives better focus on beating Obama and NOT each other!!

In terms of “not beating up on each other” - do you consider Romney to be one of us? If so, why?

Yes... Just like Colin Powell was Joe Lieberman with an R. I remember Colin saying he was pro gun control, pro-choice but was for a capital gains tax cut. I can get that from "Joementum"....

If we get Romney we get the Wizard behind the screen pulling the levers trying to tweak Obamacare, not destroy it.

If we get that joker Romney we are so hosed, again I'll write in Palin/Cain, I've had enough of this B.S and these B.S. Artist...

He didn’t leave, he and his wife are probably on K Street pulling all the levers on this beast, helping to fill in the legislation, making a ton on it....

In the Gallup poll today, Romney was at 20% and the Herminator was 18%.

In the second week of October in 2007 the bitch was at 48% and the one was at 26%.

Leading the polls in October, 13 months ahead of the election don't mean a damn thing.

That’s right. Whatever the little creep is doing he’s making a ton off of the taxpayers doing whatever it is he’s doing.

Should have dropped that phone book he used to sit upon so he could see over the tables edge on his head, and squashed him like a bug long ago.

And the Rino gods will choose “Mittens”. Commie white vs. Commie black.
