Mitt’s backers: ‘RomneyCare’ overblown [DeMint defends Romney & his socialized medicine scheme]

Mitt Romney’s supporters on Capitol Hill are giving him political cover for the healthcare plan he signed into law as governor, even as his competitors for the GOP presidential nomination ramp up their attacks on “RomneyCare.”

Romney’s healthcare reform initiative in Massachusetts is viewed as one of his biggest political liabilities going into the Republican primary, due to its similarities to President Obama’s healthcare overhaul.

But leading conservatives, including supporters of Romney during his 2008 presidential run, argue that the Massachusetts plan isn’t a deal-breaker.

“One of the reasons I endorsed Romney [in 2008] is his attempts to make private health insurance available at affordable prices,” said Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.), a GOP kingmaker.

Oh, not at all. I didn’t mean to imply that, friend. :)

[DoughtyOne]

That’s okay. My wording can sometimes be taken different ways. I wasn’t bothered by the idea you might have taken it differently than I intended. That’s why I responded.

Take care FRiend. ;^)

So the leader of the PDS platoon goes down via silly uncalled for comments? Plenty of PDS platoon members left here who will pick up the gauntlet no doubt. But good news that. Adios ant, happy trails.

Oh and nice graphic paulycy.

pissant has been banned.

I love you. ;)

[Uncle Ivan]

Fantastic news. Pissant, where ever you are - good bye, and good riddance.

[Terry Mross]

Me, too! I tell myself “I didn’t vote for McCain. I voted for Palin.” Either way, I STILL wasted my vote. I couldn’t have voted third party and the results would have been the same except I wouldn’t have any regrets today.

“If he (Boehner) doesn't know he's wrong, then like with Romney, true conservative principle sails right over his head. It's beyond his grasp. End of story.”

Each one of us needs to make up our own mind. I believe in communicating LOUD AND CLEAR. Politicians need to hear We The People roar in approval and in disapproval, verbally, in writing and by the vote we cast. We can't resort to the Boehner style of communicating to the people, by NOT communicating to the people, or to the politicians.

We are being attacked by socialists/marxists/communists/fascists/revolutionaries/muslim sympathizer at every turn, from every angle.
We need to make use of every element, every skill, every strategy we have to win this insidious war. The left never sleeps, is ever tenacious, and we need to be the same.

I’ve got my scope out looking for dark horses on the horizon, but it’s pretty murky out there.

I tell ya though, after Obama, I’m alamost thinking 8 years of a Bush-like POTUS is would be a breath of fresh air.

Still, I’m holding out for that miracle “next Reagan” to show up. Bachmann? We’ll see.

Thanks for the “pissant is gone” ping. I am glad to see him go, as I had many times been the target of his attacks on pro-Palin threads.

Unfortunately, pissant's minions are still here. I suspect they will lay low for a time, but they will be back.

I warned pissant that a purge was coming, and that he would eventually be zotted, I never thought he would be first.

But I am delighted!!

Pissant, if you're reading this, I hope you're happy in your now official role as moonbat tool. Drop dead.

And to pissant's sycophants, beware, lest you meet the same fate as your master.

I’m not saying that he was without flaws, but that last remark was unusual for him.

Maybe to say it aloud, but it most certainly was how he felt on the inside. Look, I'm no feminist, but pissant is a misogynist. He really dislikes women. A lot. 2nd Division Vet has the post where pissant boasts of how he could never vote for a woman. That wasn't the only post disparaging women, either. He was only latching onto Bachmann so he could use her as his beard, then when she screwed up in NH last weekend and we all called her (and pissant) on it, he just lost it.

*******************************

I don't know how pissant felt on the inside, but I never believed that he disliked women. That he was disappointed in Bachmann's performance in New Hampshire seems to me to be evidence of that.

Pissant was a strong, unwavering supporter of Duncan Hunter, who is a happily married man with children. He may be a traditionalist, but I'm not going to hold that against him.

[trisham]

That’s offensive.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Neat graphic paulycy!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Do you mind if I steal some of your cool graphics btw? :-)

[paulycy]

Steal away. I make them for the conservative cause (and for laughs) and to share. They are free for anybody to use as long as they don’t turn into liberal propaganda! :0)

[Theophilus]

Myth and DeMyth.

So sad :-(

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Thanks. You’ve done some great graphics! :-)
