The guy thinks like a manager, but not from first principles.
I'm still voting for him, but damn!
nobody will insure if pre-existing conditions must be paid for. this guy is an ass.
Yeah I too will vote for him knowing full well that under Romney government will continue to grow and we will still be headed to hell on earth. What a choice.
Yup...he thinks he got the conservative vote locked up. Now he’s going to the mushy middle and slightly left of middle....which is where he’ll govern from.
To the headline: I am not surprised.
Romney has said this before and his advisers have said he is not going to repeal obamacare.
How anyone is shocked by this is a mystery.
So much for holding his feet to the fire.
Hey Mitt - When your opponent is losing the argument SHUT UP.
What an idiotic thing to agree with. Pre existing conditions coverage spells doom in any capacity for any insurance company. Is it possible he says this kind of moronic babble because he’s talking to a bunch of libtards and he wants a positive spin on his interview? Maybe he doesn’t mean it? Nah. Wishful thinking I guess.
No one who has paid any attention at all will be surprised by this. Government forcing individuals, doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies to do whatever government wants. That’s Romneycare in a nutshell—including taxpayer funded abortions and sex change operations requested by jailed criminals—like it or not.
Well, that will hold his feet to the fire.
In the interview, Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, also said he would offset his proposed tax cuts by closing loopholes for high income taxpayers.
"We're not going to have high-income people pay less of the tax burden than they pay today. That's not what's going to happen," he said.
"I can tell you that people at the high end, high-income taxpayers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions. Those numbers are going to come down. Otherwise they'd get a tax break. And I want to make sure people understand, despite what the Democrats said at their convention, I am not reducing taxes on high-income taxpayers," Romney said.
Romney makes decision based on the given tide. He wants to be liked by everyone and thus becomes submissive. That is not the definition of a leader. May God help us.
Anxiously awaiting the Free Republic Romney Etatist Protection Team to calm the storm of “Collectivist Romney” mispeak or whatever this guy said and make sure all is well because the other guy “sucks worse” (Or something like that). Man America is so screwed...either way.
I’m not voting for Romney and this is just another reason not to.
The other week his speech about energy independence spoke of “North American energy independence” which means he sees the US, Canada and Mexico as one economy like the European Union.
The old Bush RINO North American Union plan, in other words.
A great device to break down borders and flood the US with cheap labor from the South. Business money behind Romney loves that idea.
Ryan speaks of “opportunity” with a “safety net.”
Ryan denounces Obama for a “welfare state” yet wants to keep it in place as a “safety net.” Entitlements and the 16 trillion dollar debt they feed remain.
Ryan’s plan to balance the budget 10 years plus out is not a conservative solution, its just a delaying tactic until the debt bubble bursts and politicians impose Greek style austerity measures on us.
They will raise taxes and cut entitlements at the same time.
There is no desire by the RINO GOP to cut entitlement programs at all.
Keep running your mouth Romney. Victory should be a cakewalk and this guy going to blow it.
“The guy thinks like a manager, but not from first principles.” Well said. That’s it exactly.
No I don’t like it but go ahead and tell people they will lose those benefits and see if you can win the election.
This is true across the spectrum, no one is willing to tell people we are going to cut anything.
Amen!
OPEN MOUTH....INSERT FOOT, U MORON!!!
Can't this idjit just STFU about this (and other issues us Cons are NOT in favor of) for the next 7 weeks or so?
It is difficult enough for us to hold our noses and vote for you without rubbing salt in the wounds
Quit pandering to the "undecided" and so called "Independents."
I swear to God, if this RINO is elected (the SAME as it was with Bush, thanks to John Kerry being his Demo-Rat opponent) it will be ONLY because of who (Dear Reader) he is running against.
If ANYONE else but Kerry had opposed W, they would have beat him easily!!!
The article's wording did not seem right - why would Romney undo what he has been trying to accomplish? I wonder if the paper is endorsing Obama again...
Sigh. Coverage of pre-existing conditions is perhaps the worst part of Obamacare. That's not insurance anymore, it's welfare.
Gee, more of the same ideas that are driving us broke.
