Romney's Transition Leader Favors Implementing Obamacare
Richochet ^ | 06/04/2012 | Ben Domenech

Posted on 06/04/2012 6:43:58 AM PDT by izzatzo

One of the few Republicans in the country who's been tirelessly pushing for the implementation of Obamacare at the state level has been tapped to head Mitt Romney's transition team, should he become president.

Former HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt, and his consulting group Leavitt Partners, are the primary advocates within Republican circles for implementation of Obamacare's exchanges. It just so happens that his consultancy is one of the major beneficiaries of the taxpayer funded gold mine of hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange implementation grants. But that's a coincidence, of course.

I don’t want to hire a ‘loyal American’ as President. I want to vote for someone who believes in and will restore the founding principles and documents that established our liberties in the first place. I know socialists who are ‘loyal Americans’. As every day passes it feels like switching from Obama to Romney will be like changing horses and then going in the same direction.

Thieving union-thug, tree hugging anti-business, baby-killing packer/munchers are NOT loyal Americans

Romney would have been my LAST choice of the candidates that ran. I wanted a Perry-Palin ticket, or Palin-Perry. Didn’t matter to me who got their name first. But that is not to be.
And I won’t continuously argue with those that refuse to vote for Romney. I probably wouldn’t either,IF he wasn’t running against Obama.
Having said that, when the election comes, and the candidate are Obama and Romney, those that still refuse to pull it for Romney are:
1 Obama supporters.
2 do not really care about the nation.
3 weren’t going to vote, anyway.
And I won’t argue with those who claim Romney is no better than Obama, either. I’ve tried. I just don’t like having a battle of wits with an unarmed participant.

BUMP to your post. Here’s a good article on how the two candidates are obviously the same...../s: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/07/david_maraniss_and_obamas_communist_mentor.html

“Have politicians lost ALL respect for the fundamental freedoms of our nation? WTF?”

I’m certainly inclined to believe they have, it’s all about them and the longevity of their DC careers and power influence, to hell with the Country. There are a very few exceptions.

"Given this, ANYONE who believes Mr. RomneyCARE is a fool or ill."

I totally agree!! But, what's the answer. Conservatives can't seem to agree on ONE candidate.

So - how do we get rid of Romney? & who are we replacing him with?

Bad logic.
Let's pretend an avid DEMOCRAT had said:

I just sent an e-mail to someone who has also drunk the "if you don't vote at all, it's a vote for Obama" koolaid:
 
 
 
Not to vote at all will surely mean a vote for the Marxist.
 
I can’t agree. There are THOUSANDS out there who will NOT vote for Obama AGAIN for ANY reason, and they don’t like Mitt, either.
 
Not voting for Obama or Mitt would be considered a vote FOR Mitt??
I don’t think logic supports that conclusion.

Sure; some of it.

Just like ANY human’s; even Obama’s.

(The Devil is STILL in the details though...)

Oh; it'll happen.

Probably with great fanfare and a ritual tossing under the bus scenerio.

If you are asking who a ‘rat alternative to Obama is, I couldn’t give a shit less about a ‘rat alternative to Obama, there isn’t one.
