Wow! Another gift for the Obama camp. Even Ann Coulter is having a crap hemmorage over this one and wants the girl fired...for telling the truth!
Stunning how they can be so inept. They were given a clear advertising edge with the idiotic "decisions" Ad and they turn around and give it right back to the Obama campaign. Of course it always help that the RWNJ cadre always over reacts, but nothing new there. How funny.
That's exactly the point. Obamacare, or the affordable care act, was modeled on Mitt Romney's Romneycare program in Massachusetts--the one he's been trying to walk away from since he started his bid for president, because so many conservatives are upset with Obamacare. Romney has vowed to repeal Obamacare if he's elected. Now one of his top aides is saying that if they'd had a program like Romneycare, and now Obamacare, it would have saved that woman's life. That creates a huge problem for Romney, and it was probably one of the all time stupid things I've ever heard come out of a campaign in my life.
You are being sucked in, he is pretending not to know what the facts are, just to get responses. There are a few posters here that enjoy doing that.
Maybe that's because Mitt Romney REALLY IS the guy Grover Norquist was looking for:
“All we have to do is replace Obama. We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become President of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”
~Grover Norquist, calling for conservatives to elect a weak President they can use as a puppet, CPAC, February 2012.
Thank you for posting that entire quote. It should scare the #$%^ out of everyone! Who elected Grover Norquist anyway & why does he have so much power?!

He hasnt at all tried to walk away from it. he said the plan worked FOR HIS STATE, but said other states need to make their own choices. Yes, he's vowed to repeal it because he doesnt support it on a FEDERAL level, and clearly neither do other governors, hence the reason more than 1/2 of them sued the federal government and most of them, have said they'd ignore it and not put in the exchanges that the Supreme Court threw out.
They wouldn't repeal it. They KNOW it's a good thing, and one of his aides made the mistake of slipping and actually saying the truth out loud. It makes Romney look all the more like a cynical, flip flopping hack that will do and say anything to get elected when he says he's going to repeal it just to win votes from the tea party.
yeah, its such a good thing that more than 1/2 the states sued because they coulndnt afford it. Maybe they know something you dont.
Tell me if its so good, then why are they ignoring it?
We can't expect them to suddenly do anything in the best interest of their constituents when it comes to health care, can we?
I never realized taxing people that cant afford to buy healthcare, or bankrupting states, were in anyones best interest. Clearly our standards are vastly different..
Ooh, thats right, you're one of those lefties who still think Obamacare was about healthcare.. That seems to be a running trait with lefties, which starts with getting everything wrong.
