This was the exact position of the Heritage Foundation at the time he mede this presentation. Heritage was calling for mandates for years before Romney adopted their position. It's also the position that Newt and many, many other conservatives held, as they sw it as the only way to make a certain segment of teh population pay for at least a portion of their keep.

So that makes it right?

Or does it even make it conservative?

I know you are smart enough to think for yourself and not use silly games like an appeal to authority, especially when that authority is dead wrong on the issue.

If all of the conservative authorities started to all of a sudden support abortion, would you?

People can polish the turd Romney all they want to, all the polish in the world isn't going to make him a conservative. He's the opposite of all things conservative, he is a stinking liberal, always has been and always will be. I don't vote for liberals any more, J. McCain was the last ever and J. McCain is a shining conservative compared to Romney.

Of course it doesn’t make it right...but it does make the point that one isn’t necessarily a socialist just because they support a health care system like the one Romney installed in MA. I hate it as much as any other Freeper and know that it was the model...ar at least one of the models...for obamacare. I just refuse to write off our chances for beating obama because I don’t like Romneycare.
