Former Romney adviser accuses him of `lying about Romneycare By Greg Sargent
Jonathan Gruber, the M.I.T. professor whose ideas were central to Mitt Romneys health reform law as governor of Massachusetts, has pilloried Romney in the past for seeming to distance himself from his signature accomplishment. But Im not sure hes ever gone quite as far as he did in this interview with Capital New York, in which he said Romney is flat out lying when he tries to make a distinction between Romneycare and Obamacare:

Gee, I’m shocked, just shocked - I tell you!
Slick Willard is a liar? No way!
He told us RomneyCare and ObamaCare have nothing in common. Nothing at all.
FUMR!! Socialist bastard!
Hate to agree with the WP, but why aren't the other candidates going after Romney on this? It is not a losing issue.
Ronald Reagan on socialism, socialized medicine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iShCXx_xZDQ&feature=player_embedded
Where’s another Reagan?
FINALLY, some criticism for Romney!
Well, duh.
There is no difference, partly because Romney’s aides helped craft Obamacare. That’s why Pawlenty dubbed it Obamneycare.
But neither the liberal nor conservative media will dare cover this, nor will any Republican mention it in any debate or any campaign event, I bet.
The Romney leaks are right on time, as Obama’s numbers inch upward. The media are accomplished at manipulating the electorate to the advantage of their own. Not that Obummer’s numbers will hold, but he is mysteriously rising in almost every poll.
Oh noez...
Romney a liar - who woooda thunk it.
Did you just show up yesterday? FR has been the killing onion fields for ole Myth ever since his run in 2008. It was alot of fun too. But JR has been banning the mythbots on FR, kinda like pulling the punch bowl away.
Is that the "same plan" as Obamacare? I don't think so.
I was disappointed in the lack of substance in the accusation that Romney was a liar. If he's going to call Romney a liar he should provide specifics.
This means one of two things:
1) This Washington Post reporter is will get his two week layoff notice tomorrow (for saying something bad about Romney before he’s nominated), or...
2) The media figures that they’ve completed their tear-down of the other candidates, so therefore they can start hitting on Romney, and he will still be the nominee.
The fact that they’ve barely touched Newt would seem to imply the first - but actually I think it’s the second, in that there is so much that they have on Newt that they know they can finish him off in 5 minutes, once they decide to.
The media and GOP establishment will quickly stuff this into a rat hole. The person talking is taking his life into his own hands challenging ther GOP establishment. ROMNEY must win the nomination at all costs.
They’ve even bought Mitt a girlfriend to defend him and protect him during the debates.
