So you are okay with communism as long as it’s Constitutional. You will vote for any candidate, no matter how left wing, as long as they are allegedly Constitutional?

This “pride” rhetoric may be a preemptive step to avoid being on the defensive when Obama equates the two commie-care systems. Still annoying to hear.

Duh, Dummy”care” is now Romney/Obama”care.”

Duh, timed to perfection Romney. That is, if Romney wants to be DUMPED by a first Ballot Abstain vote.

VERY McCain, Romney, VERY McCain. The RINO Elite really knew what they were doing when they endorsed your sorry self.

BTW folks, might as well start preparing for our take over of the RINO Party by 2014, because clueless Romney is going to ram down our throats what we cannot financially afford.

When the Supreme Court of Massachuesetts question consitutionality of restricting marriage to opposite-sex couple (ye gad, we have gone berserk!) the court DID NOT mandate that marriage licenses be granted to same-sex partners.

ROMNEY did that by Executive Order.

Hmmm....didn’t Øbøzø do something similar be Executive Order—like repeal DADT?

“Bingo. In fact, what Romney did may be wrong philosophically, but it is still constitutional. “


BS! RomneyCare, like ObamaCare, was an unprecedented theft of the freedom of the citizens of Mass! There is no basis for RomneyCare within the constitution of MA, a document written by John Adams. It is as statist and fraudulent in MA as it is for the entire country.

You sir, have no sense of perspective.

Purists like you help put this current idiot in the White House.

We had our chance in the primaries but we couldn’t get anyone to beat Romney. Now it is either him or another four more years of a Racist Marxist Muslim in the White House.

Romney picked a Simon pure Conservative to run as VEEP on his ticket. WE will have FAR more influence with Romney than with the alternative should Romney be elected.

I am more than willing to get half of the pie instead of none of it. I can fight for other half later.

Romneycare was constitutional in Ma

Obamacare is NOT, countrywide.

In fact, what Romney did may be wrong philosophically, but it is still constitutional. If the yahoos in Massachusetts want this - all well and good, and they apparently do. Romney has been very clear that the Federal Government has no right under the constitution to enact Obamacare - and THAT is the important issue here.

Wow, Zulu. Please answer me this: You are claiming state Romneycare is Constitutional and federal Romneycare is unconstitutional. Because Romney said so. But the Supreme Court ruled that federal Romneycare IS CONSTITUTIONAL . Once again: The Supreme Court ruled federal Romneycare is Constitutional. Q.E.D. FEDERAL ROMNEYCARE IS CONSTITUTIONAL!



Please explain your theory of the Constitution that Romney can decide what is Constitutional, but the Supreme Court can't?! That is a preposterous argument. The Constitution doesn't give presidential candidates more authority to decide what's Constitutional than the Supreme Court. And you know that.



So when you are voting, you are not voting between what candidates think is Constitutional. You are voting whether they think Romneycare is a good idea. And they both think it's a good idea. And don't try to sell me that something Romney is proud of, he wouldn't be okay making national. Expand the pride. The fact is, he's have to be dead set against it to combat it on the federal level.



The federal/state argument is a sham. It's either a good idea or it isn't. Vote on that.

“Romneycare was constitutional in Ma”


So where did Mittens get the constitutional authority (in MA’s constitution) to impose RomneyCare? Can you quote it for me?

See my response to Carraway.

Maybe YOU can look yourself in the mirror if that clown Obama gets re-elected, but I can’t. I care too much for my children and grandchildren to pull off an Uberpurist Götterdämmerung in November to assuage a self-righteous sense of philosophical purity.

When the wolf is at the door, any rational alternative is acceptable.

Yes your opinion. But you can’t name a single piece of legislation that Romney would do worse. The fact that he can’t even reject the one piece of legislation that people are angry about tells you a lot. At least the Bushes pretended.

The Supreme’s ruling essentially means that we no longer have any constitutionally protected rights anymore. We are a Democracy now, where anything can be pushed through on the basis of the commerce clause or the power of the government to levy taxes. Apparently, buying a product is now an acceptable tax. Ding Dong, we’re screwed!

What can be done in the states is not the same as what can be done at the federal level.

There is a reason Ca and ma suck. It’s because they can under the law.

The rest of us laugh at them but they have the right to suck at the state level

Even if your argument were true. It’s just completely stupid of Romney to keep saying this. He’s daring his base not to vote for him. What is the motive for him to do that. I honestly don’t know. He asked me not to vote for him. Why blame me?

The people of Ma demanded it.
What don’t you get?

I don’t want it, You don’t want it, but They DID.

What was Romney to do as a Gov? Tell them to stick it?
