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.

Thank you very much. I get a big kick out of it and I like it when people share them. I don’t ask for credit, people can do what they want with them. That’s the fun of it.

Explain what is so offensive about my post.

[trisham]

Threatening other posters? For what? Is there some actual offense involved? Or is the offense guilt by association?

I don't care for bullies or threats.

Thanks so much paulycy! Keep on making funny pics, FRiend!

[buccaneer81]

You miss your buddy. We get it.

There are no threats in that post. I'm simply telling pissant's hangers-on that I will oppose them just as I did pissant, and if they go bananas like he did, they may end up like him, through their own actions. I have no control over banning, and never once did I hit the abuse button on any of pissant's lies and hate.

What a pisser

[trisham]

Don’t bother posting to me again, unless it’s an apology. Your posts are offensive, arrogant, and extremely paranoid. Frankly, I regret what little time I have wasted posting to you.

Say hi to your boyfriend for me!

Bush made a myriad of mistakes. The chief among them refusing to verbally pummel the enemy when the enemy deserved it. IMO, he failed to back good policies openly enough to make it clear there were reasons not to back a guy like Obama when he came along.

The go along to get along approach doesn’t work. I’ll admit that Bush went against the grain too, but in the end the largest tangible legacy he left us, was Obama.

He didn’t educate. He didn’t let the folks know what Conservatism stands for, and in too many instances he actually implemented leftist policy for them.

I have very mixed thoughts on Bush. I used to think he was a good man that just didn’t get it. At one point I had to admit to myself that while he had plenty of compassion for the illegal alien, he couldn’t muster up a drop of it for those of us who have to deal with them.

My state is essentially Mexico north, and that rat bastard pushed federal policy that essentially made it very difficult on states to avoid being taken for all they were worth.

Look, I certainly know where you are coming from with that comment about Bush. In some ways I do agree. In other ways I realize that he would just be setting us up for another idiot like Obama to walk right in.

You’ve got to stand up and be counted, if you’re a Conservative. If you’re not, just bow out and let a real patriot take your place.

Not only not vote for them, he didn’t think THEY should be able to vote.

[buccaneer81]

Yet, as you keep reading the posts, he obviously has one big female supporter.

Dayum. I go out sick and/or otherwise preoccupied for a few days, and pissant gets the guillotine. Anything else happen while I was out?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Ummm.....

[paulycy]

Oh yeah. Laz said he wouldn't hit something. We're worried about this really being the end of days or something around here.

Really? Which Horseman of the Apocalypse flew out of the chute when pissant got relegated to the Lake of Fire?

Pissant's PDS was a classic illustration of how a person's unmanaged personal problem can derail his critical judgment. Too bad he wasn't man enough to do something about it. Too bad for him that is. Maybe he can find a home at HuffPo or some such.
