Don’t give a damn. “Romneycare” wasn’t national health care, it was a state plan.
Do we live in a world today where NO ONE remembers the Tenth Amendment, or is that ONLY at CNN, the Supreme Court and here on Free Republic?
Romney’s health plan might be a disaster, and if so the PEOPLE OF MASSACHUSETTS can kill it.
A federal plan, meant for the whole nation is unconstitutional as it violates the tenth amendment. And since it has NOW been called a TAX by the Supreme Court, it can be repealed with 51 votes in the Senate and a majority in the House.
Romney has vowed to repeal it, and Obama has vowed NOT to repeal it. Our best bet is to go with the one who has at least vowed to repeal it.
I'm not sure I buy that argument. Let me state it another way.
People are given an income tax exemption $3,800 for each qualifying child.
If I have no children, is that the same thing as being taxed $3,800 for having no children?

I hope the RATs are stupid enough to run ads about Obamacare wall-to-wall until November. Nothing like reminding the jury about this piece of crap.
Romney once again has his chance to do a mea culpa and renounce Romneycare being served up to him on a silver platter. Will be smacking the ball out of the park if only he’d take it.
Voting between Romney and Obama is like voting between a slow-acting flesh-eating fungus and the Bubonic Plague. You can deal with the fungus later, but if you don't deal with the Black Death now, you'll definitely die.
Its different when Romney does it. LOL
It doesn’t matter! The Founders always intended for the states to have powers that were purposely NOT given to the federal government! Romney and every other governor and state legislature are free to tinker and experiment all they want...as long as their cotozens continue to extend to them the power to do so. They can be the incubators of innovation if they want to be. The constitution was written to guarantee our rights and liberty by constraining the federal government. It is in no way inconsistent for Romney to say that what I did in the state of MA...in accordance with the state legislature and with the approval of the voters of MA is not something I’d approve being done on a federal level.
He gave the bluest of blue states what they wanted.
And CNN your point is? Now I’m supposed to say “Oh okay now I’ll vote for Obama?” Puleeeeeeeeeze!
Yes. He said it did. And the “it was a State plan” mem is just plain stupid. And no, he can NOT repeal it. He’ll never get 60 votes in Senate. And, no, reconciliation can not be used.
Some Conservatives should have paid attention and not listened to pundits for the last year. Some conservatives should think for themselves and stop letting news entertainment think for them. Some conservatives should NOT have voted for Romney.
Romney is going to get slaughtered in the general.. This is a disaster of epic proportions. We MUST get rid of the GOP elite. MUST.
