Sarah Palin: Repealing Obamacare should be Romney's first priority as president
The Capitol Column ^ | July 1, 2012 | The Capitol Column

Posted on 06/30/2012 11:19:16 PM PDT by Innovative

During her appearance on Fox News, Palin added that she expects presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to make good on his promise to repeal Obamacare if he elected in November.

"First on the list of priorities must be repealing and replacing Obamacare with something that makes more sense," she said.

Earlier that day Romney had slammed the Supreme Court ruling, re-affirming his promise to help repeal the health care law as president.

"Obamacare raises taxes on the American people by approximately $500 billion. Obamacare cuts Medicare - cuts Medicare by approximately $500 billion. And even with those cuts and tax increases, Obamacare adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt, and pushes those obligations on to coming generations," said Mr. Romney.

Palin, a Fox News contributor, also called on all governors to opt out of the Medicaid expansion provision in Obamacare.

What the heck are you talking about?

LOL Your previous post suggests that you don't fall at Palin's feet and worship her the way the poster does so therefor Obama will win.

Romney should guarantee that any state opting out against Obamacare won’t lose any other Federal funding.

Actually Romney should get on the opt-out bandwagon.

Here is another suggestion to Romney, get Sarah Palin to take over a position overseeing the eradication of Obamacare.

Myth Romney IS THE AUTHOR OF OBAMACARE.

The GOP has no chance with RomneyCARE at the helm.

even if Romney wins, he will never do away with state run health care

It is who he is

he already showed us he is for gay marriage, gun grabbing, and state run health care

why anyone would think he is any different all of a sudden is foolish

May God have mercy on the United States

Gov. Palin KNOWS Mr. RomneyCARE cannot be trusted
except to be a Democrat and a Backstabber.

Mr. RomneyCARE supports ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE
and Gov. Palin is challenging the Democrat
to take a position.

The coward, Willard, of course, will not.

Palin as his running mate or energy secretary.

She would make an excellent secretary of making me a sandwich.

Sarah Palin would be the enforcer for the American people to prevent Romney from re-badging Obamacare and sending it right back out and into effect.

We all know that he is learning to work around all the mistakes Obama has made on it. Its too seductive of a power grab to throw into the refuse pile.

Romney at the very least should guarantee America that everything Obama has done can be undone.

Romney is a friend to Israel, unlike Obama.

That is why Sheldon Adelson has unlimited funds to remove Obama

“he will never do away with state run health care”

Only congress can do that. If your endgame here is to get Obamugabe reelected, you are going to lose.

PALIN: Well, if Governor Romney is elected president — and let’s hope that the GOP does take over the White House and can secure the Senate and holds onto the House — then obviously, first on the list of priorities must be repealing and replacing “ObamaCare” with something that makes more sense. Now, if Obama is reelected, well, we will be a fundamentally transformed country, as Obama promised us when he was a candidate, that he was hell-bent on doing to us. We’re heading down that road now. This “ObamaCare” mandate, this decision that was made today — heck, Obama even proposing it and ramming it through and down our throats through Pelosi and Reid’s embracing of it — that’s a harbinger of things to come. So if Obama is reelected, well, America, you will no longer recognize the country that today you truly love and can enjoy all of its freedom and prosperity and security if Obama is reelected because this “ObamaCare” is a harbinger of things yet to come.

Palin gets it and many who were praying for her to be the nominee will now turn on her as "unfit".

$40 for an aspirin is just a little too costly.

But understandable, when you consider that $40 you are paying also pays the aspirin bill for 39 illegal criminal Mexicans and other free loaders.

Socialized medicine has been around for a long time. Obama/romneycare is just an expansion of it.

It is who he is

It's unfortunate Race, the only viable option for november is Romney. We have to pray and hope his love of power and retaining it is stronger than his liberal views.

That he can act and govern as a conservative for at least 4 years, depends not only on electing conservatives to surround him, but on how vocal we as a nation are.

Once again we are left with little choice but it is still a choice.

I think Palin prefers her current role — lots of influence, no responsibilites.

__________________________________________

"Lots of influence"? Beyond GVS, Hannity and her fans here exactly whom does palin influence?

Agree on the 'no responsibilities' part.

I’d like to see Romney, Boehner & McConnell all walk out on the Capital steps, look America in the eye and SWEAR that they will repeal Obamacare & sign a pledge to do so. If Romney were really smart, he’d take the initiative and do this - it would save a lot of talking on the issue. If he really believes what he says: “Obamacare or me”, doing this should not be a problem. Granted, the libs will be all over it, but then they’re all over him anyway. Be a LEADER, stand up & fight for what is right for America. A lot of people wouldn’t feel good about voting for him, but they’d feel better enough to hold their noses & vote ‘R’.

And ‘yes’, even after signing/swearing they could go back on their word .... but I think it’s less likely.
