Mitt Romeny explaining the ACA

[mrjarrell]

The mandate didn't come from the libertarian side, as Kirk keeps saying. This sums up the reality of it. Oh, and Kirk...just 'cause you keep saying something long enough won't make it true.

 

[rambone]

Is this how Romney gets cover for implementing state-controlled health care?

The Grinch said mandates were "free market," so it became so?

Ummm, have I not said that the mandate was from the Right and even cited the Heritage Foundation above?

It was supported by elements in the conservative and libertarian movement.

 

[mrjarrell]

It was "supported" by a single writer that you managed to find. That's hardly "libertarians".

Progressivism has been so pervasive in our society for so many years. I can at least speak for my self when I say my view on liberalism/progressivism has evolved over the course of my adult life. I've always considered myself a conservative, a supporter of individual liberty, and freedom. But I have also supported progressive ideas over the years I did not realize were the antithisis (sp?) of conservatism. As I've educated myself over the years, it has become obvious how deeply the roots of progressivism has sunk into so many aspects of everyday life. I can see it now and I pray more people are waking up and are becoming aware of it too.

To my fellow conservatives, I'm willing to give them a pass on things like "individual mandates" that were supported as a panecea...as long as they've "evolved" past it.

I didn't manage to find him, he was outspoken about his support.

Again, as I said above, some libertarians were in favor and some conversatives were in favor of it (heck the Hertiage Foundation proposed it)--Posner, Bailey, Reason Magazine. Galen Institute, CATO Institute, inter alia all spoke out against the individual mandate.

Romney bought into the pro individual mandate faction. He was wrong to do so, state or federal level. However, the notion that the individual mandate came from Mitt Romney is inaccurate.

I agree with Kirk. It is blatanly obvious that republican voters are rubes.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

It is blatanly obvious that republican voters are rubes.

Out come now, Bush I, Bush II, judicial picks, tax increases, regulations . . . wait a minute something's not right.

Everyone should watch this.

Romney wants to replace Obamacare with Romneycare.

His talking points are the same as Obama's.

He is fine with Federal mandates and forcing insurers to cover pre-existing conditions.

See!! Romney is NOTHING like obama! We are making progress in undoing the things obama did! We must keep voting for the only electable candidate and freedom will be ours! Go GOP!

 

[rugertoter]

Either way we are going to get the bone. Maybe one bone will be smaller than the other one, but still are going to bend over and take it like a champ.

 

[indykid]

Well I guess this settles it. Let us gun owners just vote for the known person, obama-messiah and hopefully the republicans will get their heads on straight in four years and nominate an electable candidate.

Taking it is one thing, asking for it is another. I wont be voting for either one of the dictators this November.

Futher, I wont be taking Clayton Williams advise of when its inevitable to "just relax and enjoy it"...
