In 2008 the Republicans all praised Romneycare. That's why we ended up with what we got, in an attempt to get a bipartisan bill. I have yet to see a new plan offered up by the Republicans who keep trying to kill Obamacare.

First sentence is just flat inaccurate. The second is flat insane--Obamacare was passed with exactly zero Republican votes and zero bipartisanship. The only debate was between moderate and liberal Democrats. For example, the 'public option' was dropped in a closed-door meeting of Democrats only.

Only your third sentence is correct.

I heard Republicans praise Romneycare. If you didn't, that doesn't make it inaccurate. Even McCain was praising it. If you haven't heard that the Democrats did Obamacare in hopes of getting something bipartisan I can't explain that, either. If you didn't hear either, you didn't hear it. It doesn't mean that I didn't. I'm not going to follow your example and make scurrilous comments about your post.

The Republicans loved Romney Care until Obama started liking it too. Then they denied it had ever existed. I wonder if Romney Care covered "early-onset" Alzheimer's?

The left wing celebrities begging people to vote had the opposite affect that they wanted- It brought Republicans to the polls too.
