It should be noted - and kept in mind at ALL times - that not only has RomneyCare not worked in Massachusetts, it has both run over budget by massive amounts and has driven doctors out of practice who refused to be controlled and overseen by The State.
Tennessee has it’s own brand of socialized medicine....that replaces Medicaid and it has been down sized 3 times for nearly bankrupting the state since it’s inception...and will go through a 4th here very shortly.
IF you owned your own home a car and had more than $2,000 in the bank and could not work, they turned you down even if you were ‘high’ risk health wise. Culling the sick...death panels if you want to call it that.
Now it is chock full of ILLEGAL INVADERS while Granny is trying to scrape by on her RATIONED Medicare.
It should also be noted that Romney, the grandfather of ObamaCare, promised to replace Obamacare once he repealed it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict what he'd replace it with.
ABOers, please reflect seriously on the real-world consequences of a Romney landslide. You are on the verge of voting for Romney in order to vote "against" Obama, but in the end, your vote "against" Obama will still be FOR Romney's progressivism, and your vote will absolutely be perceived as your sanction and approval of it. If Romney gets a landslide, he and moderates would crow that it was proof that Americans were begging for his "progressive" philosophy, and the numbers would back them up. What you intend to vote "against" won't mean a damned thing.
Obama is held in very low regard by many who voted for him last time. Reading of the signs says many will either vote third party or skip voting altogether; his chances of a majority win are virtually nil. That is an opportunity that is a gift from God with regard to voting third party. I will be voting FOR weakening the victory of whichever pusher of government tyranny wins, Romney or Obama, and I will do that by voting for an official on-the-ballot third party candidate -- no write-in for me because I know there will be people on either side of the political aisle itching to invalidate my ballot on the slightest pretense.
My third party vote will be very far from symbolic -- it will be a tangible item that will work toward splitting the vote and forcing a plurality in the popular vote. The lower the support among voters for whichever guy wins, the more weight and strength conservatives will have in fighting his agenda, and that includes Obama, who is not an Oz with superpowers, but a mere mortal man, though ABO hysteria has frightened folks into temporarily blindness to that truth. Conservatives would have a much harder time fighting Romney's liberal agenda than they would fighting Obama's.
ABOers, wake up and start thinking less about what you intend to vote "against" and understand exactly what you are on the verge of voting FOR. A vote for Romney, no matter how you spin it, is a vote to make liberalism more powerful in both parties. Risking a landslide for that is MUCH more dangerous than risking an Obama plurality win.
