SALT LAKE CITY Former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said before giving a speech at the University of Utah Wednesday that shutting down the government is the wrong way to oppose the nation's new health care law.
Romney repeated his concerns about the strategy against the Affordable Care Act employed by some Republicans in Congress, including Utah Sen. Mike Lee, that led to the shutdown of the federal government on Tuesday.
"My view is that Republicans, elected Republicans, almost universally agree that Obamacare is problematic for the economy and for the American family," he said in response to a Deseret News question.
"We have different tactics as to how to replace it, repeal it, improve it," he said. "My tactic does not include shutting down the government. But other people have other tactical views, and we'll see which work."
This summer, Romney began criticizing the efforts by Lee and other tea party members of Congress to stop the health care law by removing funding for it from the budget bill needed to keep the government operating beyond September.

But..But... Several posters here on FR have insulted me and many like me who refused to vote for Romney...We were told anything would be better than Obama...And I've seen these asinine posts even recently from the same cranks that it's all our fault for not voting for Romney.
The asshats who continue to post that garbage can F-Off and go to hell.

It took a long time to scroll through that mess. Didnt read a word of it.
That's "why" I included the pictures ... silly ...
You must be a disenchanted "Mitt Romney Supporter" ...
Glad that you've got the courage to hang with us Free Republic patriots ...
"If Only" ... Willard had the intellectual courage that you do ...
Of course, Willard literally "sold his mortal soul" to Karl Rove and Satan and Obama ...
and you, Sir, clearly have not.
Cheers !

You must be a disenchanted "Mitt Romney Supporter" No, I watched with disdain as the conservative candidates fell away.

I've seen it all a hundred times before...like Top-40 radio. I'm not like a little kid that likes to watch the same cartoon movie over and over again.
