The statement from the Romney guy characterized as stating that Obamacare is a penalty is just an agreement with the dissent. What is the problem with that. Since the Dread Pirate Roberts has now decreed it's a tax, we can condemn it that way as well.

I've heard this drivel from liberals all day as somehow hurting Romney. Can anyone explain why?

Because no matter what Romney says or does, it is never good enough and never will be good enough in their eyes.

Because it is all they have.

romney has no power to declare it a penalty. The SCOTUS has ruled... the Constitution was dealt a severe blow... possibly a lethal blow... and mitt has to deal with that reality. Plus... his big mouth just removed one huge campaign attack on the party and candidate of the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. It ain't a tax if it ain't a tax... but wait... Chief Justice roberts said it was not a tax... but it could be construed as a tax... so it is a tax... even if it isn't. Fits romney to a T. There was an article posted on FR today from back when mitt was pushing romney care. He said it WAS A TAX back then... and today he says it isn't. Seems that he and roberts come from the same school of illogical thought.

He said for the Purpose of the Constitution its a Tax,For the Purposes of the anti injunction act it is a Penalty,Got that? So you figure it out,the Democrats can call it a Penalty,the Republicans can call it tax,what we can call it in either case is, WE ARE SCREWED!
