During tonight’s GOP presidential debate, Mitt Romney vowed — for the first time — to advance legislation to repeal Obamacare “on day-2,” pledging to use the reconciliation process (the same process by which Obamacare was ultimately passed) to do so. This is a welcome step forward for Romney, who had previously pledged only to issue an essentially meaningless 50-state Obamacare waiver on day-1 (which he vowed again tonight to do) and to push for repeal “subsequently.” The willingness to use the reconciliation process, which would require only 50 votes in the Senate, represents an apparent change in position on the part of the Romney campaign from just last week.
It appears that the Romney campaign has gone from a prudent position to an all-in "reconciliation, no problem, it'll work" position in a matter of a week.
Doesn't this sound like pandering to the Republican primary voter? The danger is that if someone is nominated and elected on this 'platform', we will all end up betrayed. I would rather be told the truth from the outset, just not by Huntsman.
That is what I was thinking this past week with Reid’s latest maneuver. He will regret the day, I hope.
but GW was a Kennebunkport Repub. He was part RINO like his pals Olympia & Susan.
