His answer regarding that is good enough for me - a states rights issue. What he did in MA was not meant to be shoved down the throat of every American, like obama and the dems did.

I could care LESS regarding his flip flop on abortion.

Nonsense.

He's worse than mccain was. Welcome Obama for 4 more years if Romney runs against him.

Exactly. A lot of supposed "libertarians" love to compare Romneycare to Obamacare. Well, these libertarians should know better than anyone about the difference between a state program and a federal program.

He will turn off so many Independents, especially after the attack come from the dems/Left regarding his comments about 9/11, foreign policy and Israel.

Romney will be able to pull Indie and moderate dems from obama.
he also loses conservatives who see him like most do, as a liberal according to his history.

romney repealing obamacare is just him pandering. theres a reason why his supporters are blocked on conservative websites. hes not conservative, and there tired of rinos.

he wanted romneycare to be a model for the rest of the nation, and conveniently got that changed in an updated version.

I just can't wait until this Caucus is over. I'm sick of all the faux political pandering just to make Iowans feel like they are important every 4 years, just to completely ignore them until the next election cycle.

Wrong, independents do research and think for themselves, and they know the lies and misinformation that comes from people repeating Paul's comments taken out of context. There's a reason there's always been an "anyone but Romney" candidate surging, and that's because no one likes, believes, or trusts Romney.
