Mitts, please don't bring up your liberal intention before the election because it causes lite principled conservsative to convulse.

"That's not insurance anymore, it's welfare."

Well maybe Romney will cover the costs through his own bank account, signed Free Republic Romney Etatist Protection Team. PS, the other guy sucks worse you perfectionist! Remember, vote for enormous pragmatic central planning, vote Romney.

Limbaugh will not defend obamacare, I don’t know what Hannity believes because most of the time he rambles.
Limbaugh can hardly choke down enthusiasm for Romney, Hannity gushes over anyone willing to come on his show.

A few weeks ago somebody from the Romney campaign called and started off by saying that Romney would, as his first act, repeal Obamacare. I said no way would Romney do that. They guy tried to argue but had the losing side. I did not contribute.

America suffers from the same foolishness that led us into WWII, devastated the world, and almost cost us Western Civilization.

Voices that speak up intelligently are put down. This means smart people can’t run the country smartly. We can pray the disaster won’t be the worst possible when it comes.

It would be nice if some great leader could explain this to people and avoid catastrophe. It’s certainly not happening right now.

I actually like parts of it too:

the Medical Loss Ratio is a great provision

that doesn’t mean I’m a commie. It means that I’m sick of bloated health insurers spending less than 25% of premiums on actual ...healthcare. That is freakin ridiculous.

I think obamacare is wrong in it’s approach. More competition would fix this (across state lines) , but there is no freakin reason that some of these large AT&T-like payors are spending < 25% of premiums on healthcare. That is why we are seeing the huge increases.

Guess what I like part of it too, the pre-existing part of it. So sue me.

>> Romney may be dumb enough to lose this election. Now, as he continues his lunge to the Left,

I don’t get you people. Did you really believe he’s changed from his MA days?

Romney for about a year now: REPEAL AND REPLACE!!!

The staggering bewilderment over Romney’s Liberal views is astonishing given the alleged acumen of the typical Conservative.

Romney’s a Lib, Obama’s a Marxist. Still undecided?

Romney begins to slither and shed his 'conservative' skin to reveal the person he really is.

This is always the plan with the GOP. The only reason the populace supports or votes for their candidates is because the other side is so absurd.

In the end, the country steers left, because both parties want it that way. Just like herding sheep.

Oh, Obama’s team is storing this all up. If you think Romney blushed and stammered during the primary debates, wait till October.

How quickly people forget that Anne Romney declared that her husband would take part in no more debates when he stated getting beat up in them.

While I agree this is wrong, do you realize the republicans are not willing to eliminate these benefits? They just aren’t. And polls show everyone wants them.

The defeat of Obama is essential for all kinds of vital reasons, defense, tax policy, Supreme Court, illegals, voter ID, US Attorneys.

But America has an entitlement sickness.

The only positive is, the republicans do support some free market mechanisms to reform health insurance. Like interstate competition.
