Every one has to face reality. (Prepare your life for either one of them so you do not drive yourselves insane. Work for the person on the ground that you see fit in doing so for) This issue will not go away. A lot of people want Obamacare repealed; not by keeping parts with the government being involved. It’s like Brit Hume said over a year ago about Romney’s problem was always going to be Romneycare and suggested strongly for him to move pass this obstacle by admitting it was a mistake versus being defensive and arguing of being satisfied with the program. Now, we see Romney is not only defending his Romneycare but admitting that he will keep some of Obamacare. This keeps giving mixed signals to the undecided voter.
We have to remember Romney’s people wrote the blueprint to what Obama pushed through on the American people. If Romney wins, it will be the fear of Obama pushing him to win. It will not be patriotic citizens carrying the flag for him like my 72 year old friend says. Someone has to guide him before it’s too late. His handlers are liberals. Romney thinks Obama is a good guy. Okay, maybe a good dad but repecting/obeys the constitution. No. Romney is basically a democrat. Sometimes, you wonder if the Gop-e just does not want to win nor have a desire to fight. Look at them/call their offices-they say to people-”we have to be careful in what we say” You can’t win with this type of weakness in my thinking. Our convention was boring, just okay. The other side made their base energized. The night of Clinton’s speech, one left wing blog had over 12,000 comments and the night of Michelle’s was high in comments as well. If Clinton helps Obama to win, it’s a cake walk for Hillary (think about it) Their agenda is almost passed. Clinton is headed to Florida to campaign. We should be double digits ahead but we have this nonsense going on as always the insiders don’t want to lead as the base would like for them to do. Please everyone help the Senatorial/Congressional offices in an event that we do not win the presidency.
My comments (the first and the current) were suppose to be linked to the author of the thread. I am sorry...I will be glad to see the day when people stop blaming conservatives for this mess. Yes, we can blame the division on not coming together on Newt or one of the others over Mitt but the GOP-e promised Mitt this election and now we got these problems. The more you criticize the conservatives, it ties into the scenario that conservatives are just extremists by the left so wise up.
“Now, we see Romney is not only defending his Romneycare but admitting that he will keep some of Obamacare”
Romney did not defend, say he liked, or say he would keep any part of Obamacare. the law; Obamacare as in any provision of it the way it was establioshed by Obamacare.
He said there were two areas of “heath care/insurance REFORM” that he agreed were REFORMS that were needed - “pre-exisiting conditions” and older-age children getting coverage on their parents plans. It was not an agreement with Obamacare on those items, in any way. He did not say he would adopt the kind of provisions for them that was done in Obamacare; in fact, his language about them suggests very different approaches to them than in Obamacare.
The GOP in the House had their own market-based reforms for those two areas that were never even considered by the Dims. I am sure Romney will have to get his own ideas past the GOP in Congress and will not have a party as compliant on the matter as was the Dims with Obama.
But if you prefer to wait for Saint Sarah, go ahead. Meanwhile the rest of us prefer to fight Romney if we have to through our friends in Congress and not wait for four more years of “Executive Privilege” to fully implement Obamacare across the economy.
