Romney said his Bay State health reforms weren’t necessarily suited to other states. Few listened.
By Avik Roy
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney maintained that the health-reform law he signed in Massachusetts was not the same as Obamacare. “Our plan was a state solution to a state problem,” Governor Romney insisted. He was trying to fix Massachusetts’ uniquely broken insurance market, he said; Obamacare, by contrast, was a “a power grab . . . a one-size-fits-all plan.” Nobody took him seriously — not conservatives, and not liberals. But today, as the nation braces for health insurance “rate shock,” Romney’s critique of Obamacare is ringing true. Call it Mitt Romney’s revenge.

Mere Republicanism. Your words belie your moniker. There is *nothing* ‘principled’ in that view.
the republican party is supposed to be the conservative party. without republicans being conservative, the tea party would have little voice, because their candidates would win if they were a third party candidate (hence we have no “Libertarian Party USA” pols in federal office). To preserve that, Republicans have to preserve their conservative voice, meaning cut out, however painful, those “moderates” or liberals who call themselves Republicans, but are truly not.
I held my nose and voted for him.
Don't know if I can even do that again for another liberal anti second amendment "republican".
I guess this country has to just go down the tubes to rock bottom.
The "republican" establishment has to realize we need to have conservative / libertarian candidates who will go strictly by the CONSTITUTION.
A liberal republican can do as much damage as a liberal democrate, plus they stink up the brand name. So a liberal republican is marginally worse.
agreed

It did not “pain” me at all to cut out the liberal baby killer father of gay marriage Willard, who was once a Democrat and now calls himself a Republican......
No; probably one of those that TOLD you Romney couldn't win because he ain't smart enough to realize his chosen 'religion' is a CULT!
AMEN!
Then just WHO got all the votes from the people who DIDN'T vote for OBAMA??
I see you admit that you have no other tactic than trying to put words in people's mouths.
fair enough.
That'd be like asking MORMONism, Inc. to produce proof that ANYTHING J.S. ever said was true.
Do you REALLY believe this LIE?
Look at the data!
Romney got MORE votes than McCain did, and Obama got 3.5 mil LESS than he did first time!
Just WHO stayed home?
But it has shown that infection is just below the surface.
It NEEDED to be lanced!
Oh; NO!!
Leave it as an example to vain posturing!
Well to answer technically, Obama got the votes for those not voting for Obama; given the vote fraud - but I know that isn’t what you were going for ;)
Thanks for the GOPPER Convention details, I remember the Romneycrats sent bogus buses to pick up the RPaul delegates and then drove them away from the Convention Center refusing to deliver them. The Way they treated thes delegates spells the end of the Party of Lincoln the corrupt abolitionist!
Thanks!
You’re right.
I think you spelling Randomly Guessing wrong.
