HAHAHAHA
Confusion here about states rights. If the people in a state decide they want it, states DO have the right to vote for mandatory health care. I don’t see where the U. S. Constitution forbids a state to do that.
He’s a modern Leo Boivin!
Gingrich and Caine are the best tonight. Glad Newt said the Super Committee is a rediculous idea and stacked with certain people for political reasons.
So funny. He really does look like George Hamilton.
Does anyone here know something about the MA Constitution to refute Romneys contention that forcing people to buy health insurance is ok?
The “wild card” is “moral values” as Santorum just described...
I’m loving Santorum here. “The states don’t have the right to do wrong.” - A. Lincoln
Paw on RomneyCare
Yeah
ObamaCare was patterned after Romneys
Romney like Barry in other areas
Spending etc
Romney answers
10th Amendment
We put together a plan that was right for MASS LOL
Romney asked about mandate to buy insurance
Romney wont answer
Just says the MASS constitution allows for it
Bachmann
Manditory healthcare ???...government is without authority to do that
You go girl She just slapped Rpomney put some ice on that Willie Mitty :)
Ron Paul
People should be in control of their care
Rick S
10th Amendment run amuck
States dont have the right to tramp on rights
Newt IS fearless tonight. comes from having no shot in hell at the prize, he has no where to go but up so let it all hang out.
The other candidates will make that determination for me. He is giving it to the press and Obama. He has trampled wallace’s attempt to side-track anything.
A bit presumptuous wouldnt you say. You "think" he has the support. Unless of course you just rely on what the MSM tells you, in which case you then take it as "gospel".
Oh joy, another globalist, Bilderberger, CFR, GOP elite, WashPo fave Texas governor. Sure gets me motivated. Scrap the TEA party, I'm goin mainstream. Where's the donation form?
Wallace has nothign but gotcha questions.
Pray for America
You’re most certainly right about that! It’s too bad that he’s such a loser and traitor to our side!
Yeah, he is wrong. The states do have the right to be “wrong” morally. Whether you like it or not, the right exists.
Santorum just channeled his inner-Lincoln & blow-torched the 10th Amendment.
Can a state redef marriage, murder or life?
Paul still worries me a bit. Santorum is also great. He is coming into his own. Again, he would have a hard time getting ahead of Romney in many places and with many voters who don’t really listen to him, and have pre-conceived ideas because of past comments he made a few years ago. He is, however, 100% conservative with no belief in government paid abortions or many of the existing abortion “rights” It would take a miracle for him to get the womens’ votes he needs. Unfortunate.
Ron Paul says the feds can't prevent a state from doing bad things. Attacking "corporatism" doing well under both Obama & Republicans and says doctors and patients suffer and pushing market-based health savings accounts.
Santorum attacks both Bachmann and Ron Paul as "10th amendment run amuck." He says Ron Paul would support bigamy laws, Bachmann won't defend marriage.
