Massachusett’s healthcare plan is a deal breaker for me. I won’t vote for him. I’ll stay home first.
Tennessee has TennCare and we are in the third round of CUTS because it is BANKRUPTING Tennessee.
Oh, Pissant, your challenger has feet of clay!
DeMint share price is dropping rapidly...
Never. Ever.
I hate to say this, but I’m afraid the GOP is falling back to their old tricks of the “next in line syndrome”. They think Romney will be the most palatable, but when he’s nominated(hoefully not), the SRM will tear him and the GOP to pieces......again
I would not vote for Romney if a white dove hovered well-pleased over him.
From this article I get two messages: 1, it’s time to reexamine my assessment of Jim Demint in light of disturbing new evidence; 2, a lot of folks out there want us to bend over here comes a Republican with seniority again.
“’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”
“Attempts.”
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, Jim.
I'm with him this far. If the Republicans can lower health care costs without socialism and/or national bankruptcy, it would go a long way to defeating the socialist agenda for a long time.
Mitt, alas, is a tower of jello.
He’s also a walking, talking, squawking RINO.
If he gets the nod, Obama wins - again.
Methinks just as in 2008, DeMint might be tucking in behind his projected winner early. I so very sincerely hope he is wrong again.
Of interest...
My fear is the same people who put McCain up there (again) will put Romney up there leading to an Obama win. It is almost like they have decided already and what the people say means nothing. I am sorely dissapionted in DeMint.
DeMint ping
Et Tu Jim?
The only major difference that I can see is that Romneycare took place in a state rather than at the level of fedzilla.
I’ve got DeMint $100 event tickets for sale for $0.10 cents. Any takers?
Looks like RomneyCare was just the ticket for DeMint. He’s politically DOA.
All that’s left is the dead cat bounce.
They intended the individual states to have great freedom when it came to exploring possible solutions to problems affecting them both individually and collectively.
Some Congress Critters have decided, without the support of most of America, that the lack of health care for everyone is a problem. I have no problem with that.
In at least two states, Massachusetts and Tennessee, they have attempted a centrally managed health care program that covers everyone. In both cases these programs haven't provided the promised level of care, at the promised costs, and have adversely impacted out sectors of the health care sector.
I take my hat off to those who have attempted something like this. I reward all others who link their support to these failed programs with a Bronx cheer.
Bottom line - we have had two failures of the same concept in two widely separated states. That should be enough to terminate any nation wide program. Anyone attempts to tell me that they have “solved” the problems with centralized health care is lying to me and wants more of my money for his personal use.
Enough said!
So DeMint is really defending his 2008 endorsement.
Way to stand up for principles Jim, not.
