Team Romney: No, we’re not declaring ‘cease-fire’ on Obamacare
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 07/03/2012 12:09:58 PM PDT by Perdogg

In the days since the Supreme Court decision upholding Obamacare, some Democrats and commentators in the press have suggested that Mitt Romney is declaring a “cease-fire” on the issue and will no longer make it a centerpiece of his campaign to defeat President Obama.

“Compared to that Marxist POS Kenyan he’ll be a dramatic improvement however.”

The one question the Romney bots refuse to answer is how so? The man’s legislative record is indistinguishable from a flaming liberal and he is a sickening pathological liar.

In other words, “We started getting all kinds of negative feedback from donors, so we’re walking back the walk back on repealing ObamaCare until after the election is over.”

So...

You think that Bambi isn't the worst, most divisive, most destructive, most pro-Marxist, most pro-muzzie, most anti-American, most pro-death, most hateful to everything we love administration ever?

I suppose you think it's just a ruse, that when we wake up virtually every day to some new outrage by this administration that it's all just made up as a "big party threat", as a "vote for us or die" fraud to get us angry, just another pitch to the great unwashed about "the lesser of two weevils" and it's only schtick to fool us. Nothing to see here, just move on, right?

What planet have you been living on? Oh right, that new one they found called Stupider.......

Oh STFU!!! I’m so sick of you idiots who ARE saying Obama is better than Romney. No, the exact words aren’t there, but every post, every remark is designed to make that statement. I’ve never seen ONE post by him that is against Obama; only Romney. If you don’t vote for Obama’s major opponent, the only one that can win against him, you ARE voting for Obama. I truly, unequivocally believe that with every fiber of my being. WE are so DAMN close to losing everything I gave 22 years of my life to defend, and all I hear is Romney is too liberal. Obama is a full-blown MARXIST. As Jesus said, why complain about the mote in MY eye when there is a PLANK in yours!!!??? Romney is the mote, and Obama is the plank. To my fellow FReepers who think they’re too good to save us from Obama because of Romney... SCREW YOU! I’ve had it.

............................................ You make a good point AB.

The sore loserman syndrome has not quite been fully extinguished here.

There are still those cry babies who didn't get their way who are still willing to keep supporting obamba just because their guy didn't win. Short sighted,ignorant and just plain dumb is all you can say about these idiots.

The sad thing is these people who constantly decry how imperfect Romney is and truth be know he was not the first choice of most of us, ignore the process of how we elect a president.That alone is terribly naive. Neither side, conservatives or liberals are happy with the process. But, it is what it is!! Many need to learn to live with it! You can't ignore how the process of electing a potus has evolved and what it has turned into.But you can ask yourself what did I do to help change it.

More importantly for all the Diogenesis and other losers that constantly cry about how their guy lost, look into the mirror and start taking personal responsibility!! ask yourself how did I fail why didn't Newt win? Being a conservative,a Reagan conservative, is all about personal responsibility!

If you can't look into the mirror and say hey Marco, didn't win,Sarah, Newt,Santorum didn't win because; I was not up to the task, my efforts failed,then you have no right to complain endlessly. Start taking responsibility and start thinking about what you can do about the rino infestation,the huge takeover by the socialists and all the other tyrannical associations there are in modern day politics. Start exposing the lies of the left until "everyone who votes" knows what its going on.

It takes more than verbal complaints sitting at a computer on a conservative website to eradicate emerging communism. You actually have to do something positive.

Start to influence friends, relatives, total strangers as I and many others do. Be a model of conservatism not a constant complainer. No one wants to hear complaints any more we want action. Basically, do something or STFU.

It is absurd to equate "Obamacare" and "Romneycare". The original version of "Romneycare" was 86 pages and focused on health care. The version of "Obamacare" that was passed (unread) was 2400 pages, and extended federal government control into every aspect of American life.

Romney has sided with the dissenting justices, rather than accept Roberts's tortuous "reasoning" that Obamacare is just a tax bill. Romney has promised to disable Obamacare with waivers, then repeal it (assuming we can gain control of both houses).

Romney was not my first choice, but he is the only one with a chance of removing our Communist dictator. The Obamabots are attempting to portray the two candidates as identical, with the exception that Obama has more experience. Given that the country as a whole was stupid enough to elect (or almost elect, with fraud making up the difference) Obama the first time, it is possible that this attempt will succeed. This thread is providing evidence that they are being alarmingly successful.

As a conservative, I’ve voted for many less-conservative-than-me politicians. Romney’s nothing new in that dept.

Here in Texas, Dewhurst is running for Senate vs Ted Cruz. We need Ted Cruz, but I’ve voted for Dewhurst. If you moved Dewhurst to Massachusetts he’d be more liberal than Romney.

Romney does have a more conservative agenda than Bush had in 2000. Bush had NCLB and medicare drug expansion and immigration reform. Romney has Ryan budget, repeal of Obamacare and is against amnesty in his 2012 campaign.

Romney should say: “Yes, I believe the mandate is a penalty, but the Supreme Court said otherwise, so we deal with it on THAT basis, and get the new congress to pass legislation to repeal this bad thing as a `tax`, which I will happily sign.

I’ll tell you one big reason, the POS Kenyan isn’t even an American. He hates this country with every fiber of his soul and if he could he’d completely dismantle every single word of our constitution. Take a close look at the Kenyan’s past and his relationships. He hates America! Romney is not even close to as dangerous as Obama and if you can’t see that then you need help.

I think LBJ, another President from Texas was just as bad....Throw in the two Bush's from Texas...Yeah, they were all as bad, or have done as much damage as Obama.

Look, you vote for who ya want...I could care less what you do.

Me personally, I'm never voting for another liberal again...That includes your liberal candidate Romney!

Alas Babylon! ased Diogenesis: How can you defend America if opposition to Romney leaves only Obama!!!????

This truly is a relevant question, at least for Diogenesis, as I have asked him a very similar question before, with again, no response (as here).

I asked you before, Diogenesis, if "the country can't survive 4 years of Romney, and we certainly can't survive 4 more years of Obama, then I guess we're screwed right? I mean what's the end game here?" And you didn't respond to me, just as you haven't responded to AB's question of a similar nature here.

Eventually, on the thread I asked you that question, Black Elk chimed in to post in response to my question to you, "RESISTANCE!!! is the end game no matter which major party POS may win."

With all due respect to you (assuming you were satisfied with Black Elk's response to me) and to Black Elk, and to all who would answer such a direct, pragmatic question similarly: That is not a true "end game" plan. It's a nice platitude that sounds good on a discussion forum, but it doesn't offer any real solution, IMO, to the true crisis we face today.

So maybe on that thread you, Diogenesis, missed my question (and maybe missed this one from AB today) because you were getting flamed quite a bit, so I'll repeat it, reworded slightly, "If we can't survive 4 more years of either man, WHAT are we supposed to do? What CAN we do? Should we vote for Tom Hoefling? Virgil Goode? Gary Johnson? Which third party candidate do you support Diogenesis?"

Because really, after all this back and forth of "ABO and FUMR", we can obsess about that until the cows come home, and post multiple photoshops and endless hyperlinks about how "evil" Romney is (and by the way, until AB pointed it out upthread, I never noticed but it's true, you never do post anything negative about Obama, of course, I guess one could argue that's a "given" here on FR but still..I digress)...we can do all that and argue endlessly which one is "more evil" but none of this moves anything forward.

So again, what's your game plan to help save this country, besides posting (either just or unjust) negativities about Romney? What's the game plan, besides posting inspirational platitudes like "RESISTANCE!!! is the end game no matter which major party POS may win."? I'm GENUINELY interested, because quite frankly the SC decision of last week crushed my optimism in the upcoming election.

I absolutely do not believe Romney will do anything substantive to dismantle Obamacare, because you know what, you, Diogenesis are RIGHT when you say Romney is the primary author of Obamacare. Obama so much as admitted (and probably will hammer on this more as the election continues) that his administration used Romneycare as a blueprint for their own plan! Who honestly thinks he (Romney) wants to substantively change it at this point? That's delusional, IMO.

Even given that though, I won't change my mind about voting for him UNLESS I can see a CLEAR path (no matter how long it may take mind you) to SAVING this country without his presidency.

The way I see it now, Romney is the only choice, NOT because he'll do anything to substantively change Obamacare, but because if he's in office, then at LEAST we have a reasonable hope of holding it in check, until true conservatives are elected to Congress, by a supermajority, to rid the nation of such a cancer, WITHOUT the President's "help".

That is, a Romney victory will give momentum to the GOP to perhaps take Congress if not in 2012, but in 2014, or maybe as late as 2016. In that time, those elected to Congress can at least defund it, through House mechanisms, and Romney at least won't try to stop that (I don't believe)

So, we all "get it" about Romney. Speaking for myself, I hold out no hope he personally will do anything of substance (beyond giving his OWN self serving platitudes) to rid us of such a scourge. But at least by voting for him, I can see a clear path to victory to eventually riding the country of that great scourge of socialized medicine. And on top of all that, there are other threats to this great nation besides Obamacare, primarily the broader economic crisis that I do believe Romney will be able to handle much more competently than Obama.

I don't see such a clear path, or any path, by your posts Diogenesis. Again, all you have done is remind us how horrible a "conservative" Romney is, but in your own words the "country can't survive 4 years of Romney" so fine. WHAT is YOUR game plan? Please, again, I'm genuinely interested.

GB as VP had the power to do what exactly? He signed what laws? Is it the fault of Reagan that GB went ‘Read my lips’ liberal post 88?

Noooooooo........
After spending the majority of his political career slamming the very things that Romney has done, I doubt he’s be voting for him.

You see Ronald Reagan was a man who believed in principle. and that’s just the way it is. Good luck claiming Reagan would be a Romneybot. It is but to laugh.

Again, you were asked a question. Days ago. You still will not answer it. YOU don’t get to duck questions, then demand answers to your own.

That’s what liberals do.
