Didn’t Take Long For Big Government GOP To Cave On Health Care

Romney can't fight it effectively because of Massachusetts and RomneyCare

Mitt Romney, after giving a brief statement decrying the decision, has been virtually silent on criticizing the health care law. He's been on vacation and his campaign has been giving off clear signals that it doesn't want to make health care a major part of the election.

And the DC GOP won't, not really. 

"If you thought it was a good idea for the federal government to go in this direction, I'd say the odds are still on your side," McConnell told workers at Hardin Memorial Hospital, "because it's a lot harder to undo something than it is to stop it in the first place."

We have two big government parties in America, content to share power. Is this a surprise to someone?

    “It doesn’t quite matter whether Romney calls this a tax, a penalty, or a potato. Voters will call it a tax and so will every other Republican candidate running for every other office,” [Boehner] says. “It will be the most popular attack ad in Senate and House campaigns. Much like the president resisted the term Obamacare before he embraced it, we are two months away from even Romney calling it a tax. Gravity cannot be suspended.”
    Dan, you need to keep up better. Your power outage is an excuse, but catch up.

    Romney is the one who is running for President, although I think the word “pretending” is a better description. The voters will judge him by his gutless drivel and weasley excuses.

  3. As someone mentioned above, this issue will be up to the voters in November. We are the ones that will consider it one way or the other.

    mittens and his flock won’t repeal obamacare, they want to spend all that money.
    Conservatives are so screwed because of these pandering republican fools in d.c.

    mg, got any kind of evidence? Or is that just pessimistic crap?

    Would the last 50 years be some kind of “evidence”?

  7. I definitely savored every little bit of it and I submitted your site to some of the biggest social networks so others can find your blog.

    In point of fact, no. Conservatives are so screwed because they never formed a party to advance the interests of liberty and freedom. The Republicans are internationalist middle of the roaders, don’t berate them for being true to their philosophy. It is conservatives who are to blame for their own plight.
    It doen’t help that conservatism has no solution for the problems of the modern world, either. The basic ones, rights of property, individual rights, a republic vs. a democracy, are good. But what does conservatism say, for instance, on the dissapearence of the “job”? Machines are taking the jobs away from everyone. How can a free market economy flurish, if no one is working? Who do we tax, when there is no income? In this matter, conservatism stands mute, mouth agape, inchoate. Time to face reality, or pass the torch to stronger eyes.

    If conservatives acted conservative we would not be in this mess. The crying speaker,bitch the senate slob and the rest of the rinos will not stop obamacare. They will spend the money where they see fit. After seeing the supremes vote, the republican party is done.
    Revolt will be conservatives only way out. The democrats policies of regulation are to blame for the continuing of unemployed americans. I don’t think there are enough conservatives to win in2012. Reload and recalculate.
