Do you want Washington D.C. in charge of repairing the potholes on Main Street in your town?
Can you back down from your visceral hatred of the man to understand that I am not defending RomneyCare? I am simply pointing out that Romney's strategy should have been to argue that RC was a state-level program that would be inappropriate as a model for a federal program, and that's a fairly easy argument to make. Unless you would like to submit a pothole repair request form in triplicate to the US Federal Pothole Repair Bureau?
It’s all here, with links to references in case you are one of the MassResistance haters.

Don't YOU see that any politician who promotes government, be it state or federal, to take over health care, is ANTI conservative?
No, you don't see the difference. All you see is party registration.

Move out of the country? It's not so easy to move out of state. One might want to have a job, and a place to live, and about $10,000. to relocate. Seriously, are you kidding?
IMO we have such a financial crisis and theft of the economy of Obamacare that I would have preferred him to clean fiscal stuff up, even if we had to go in later to fix what he broke further on the social side.
Never wanted a Romney to be the candidate, but he was far better than Obama who had made on a daily basis far more damaging changes than I think Romney would have.
Would be the best if the press would leave their influence out of the races to allow the people to find the real candidate before they vote.
Right now I think the press sabotages the elections with their work.
Proudly registered as an Independent for nearly my entire life. You?
EXACTLY!!!!!!!! And 98 percent of those worshippers consider anyone who disagrees with Romney as being like "children" and themselves as the "grownups."
The choice of Romney by the GOPe + Democrats crossing over to Republican Primaries was the Kiss-Of-Death.
I’m not arguing anything about Federalism, which you keep returning to as a talisman against SOCIALISM.
Romney was an unelectable candidate because he had RomneyCare strapped to his neck like an albatross. Romney could not attack 0bama’s greatest weakness, 0bamaCare, because it’s SOCIALIST nature was Romney’s idea originally.
Whether implemented at a Federal, State, City, or Block Watch level, SOCIALISM SUCKS.
If you can’t get that point, then please go join a different group. Free Republic is for conservatives who reject socialism outright.
He did the opposite when he wrote that op-ed extolling the idea of a national version, encouraging Obama to implement it.
“....repeatedly referred to Russia as “our number one geopolitical foe.”
Really??? Looks like the neocons are going full throttle with their attacks on Putin. Everybody is the enemy if they don’t support the commie in the WH.
This article just proves that there wasn’t a dimes difference between Obama and Romney. Thanks “Romney Fans” for the clarification.
Just wow.
I don’t know about you, Jim, but I’ve never been a big fan of GOP-E scoreboard pointing.
Fact of the matter is that Romney was a bridge too far for a lot of us. He talked a good game when it was convenient for him to do so but his body of work indicated to the rational observer that he was nobody’s conservative.
I happen to be one who couldn’t vote for him. For the only time in my adult life, I didn’t vote for the Republican candidate for President because of those on my ballot, I didn’t think he was the best person to do the job.
And we still DO have the right to make that choice.
I am not an (R) I am a C, conservative
Romney would right now be eating cream of dioxin soup in St Petersburg, Russia.
But Romney was all for those things before he wanted to be President.
See the point?
Feel free to post afterwards and enjoy the "last word"
Have a great day!
As stated elsewhere on this thread, registered as a Republican all my life. Your failure to see the LACK of difference fundamentally in the political principle of a candidate in favor of government-managed health care, apparently has zero to do with your party affiliation then, and is all the more puzzling.
So you think he should have lied more?
