Oh goodie — Romney says MA likes Romney-Care. Good grief. Romney trying to walk a fine line defending RomneyCare while trashing ObamaCare. Interesting to watch from an academic standpoint. Kind of like watching Bill Clinton “work”. newt taking him on and sounding good.

Much of Romneycare was initially paid for by the FED, so Romney can claim he didn’t have to raise taxes to pay for it.

Or maybe Cain’s plan creates a gazillion jobs. See, I can make up numbers too

Office of Tax Analysis for the U.S. Treasury Gary Robbins analyzed and scored his plan. Cain said the analysis shows that his plan will "initially create 6 million jobs and that it will bring the unemployment rate down initially to about half of what it is today."

ROUND 2 : ============================

Mitt Romney lies claiming Massachusetts LOVES RomneyCARE.

Newt Gingrich refocuses the moderator back to RomneyCARE
and dissects the SOB RINO Romney.

Milt then lies claiming he got RomneyCARE from Gingrich.

Milt has now LIED TWICE and CNN is silent.

Mitt’s getting disembowled by Santorum-Newt. Trying now to scoop up his own guts. Not pretty.

The 16th needs to be repealed and the income tax abolished.

This is what is needed but how to get it abolished seems almost insurmountable.

Mitt is actually pretty smart - let’s not start lying on FR - we wouldn’t want to become like what we say we hate, right?
