I don't see what's so hard to understand - he opposes the bill as a whole, but supports certain aspects of it. With a reform so comprehensive, that is not uncommon. On that note one of my primary reasons for opposing Obamacare is the fact that it's so comprehensive. I think it would be better to pass reforms incrementally rather than in such a tremendously large bill.

Today, the Romney campaign clarified: Mitt only supports coverage for Pre-existing conditions IF YOU ALREADY HAVE INSURANCE:

In other words, if the Pre-existing condition isn't really... Pre-existing!

I hope this clears up any confusion!
It's retroactively pre-existing? Got nothin'. The guy will say anything.

That's nice. Now, on the specific subject - is he for coverage of patients pre-existing conditions, against coverage of patients with pre-existing conditions, or does he not understand the concept at all, as his latest communication seems to indicate?

That's what happens Mitt...when you have taken flip flopping to an art form.
This is what happens when the RNC/GOP put forward RINOs.

End the nanny state by not electing or nominating Statists to begin with.

As will Obama the Liar-in-Chief.

I'm so p*ssed at my fellow American voters, for throwing the only honest candidate who sought to return liberty to the people instead of grabbing more power for the Executive Branch under the bus, I can't stand it.

At this rate, the future of the GOP is two rich white men yelling "RINO" at each other and failing to understand why people don't vote for them.
