And if Mittens IS electable, the country is in a lot sorrier shape than we thought.
“The system that we put in place in our state was something we worked out with the labor community, the health care community, business, and the citizens of the nation. We came together, it was voted [on] by a 200-person legislature. Only two voted no.
“Our system has a lot of flaws, a lot of things I’d do differently. It has a lot of benefits. The people of the state like it by about three to one.”
Romney didn’t mention that the people of that state also voted for Barack Obama by nearly two to one.
The exchange offered a stark reminder of one inescapable set of facts: President Obama spent the bulk of his first 15 months in office ramming his signature legislation down the throats of the American people. Yet, as his State of the Union Address made clear, he’d rather not bring it up. So if Republicans are going to have a mandate to repeal this unprecedented threat to liberty and fiscal solvency, they will have to bring it up — or, rather, their nominee will have to bring it up. And he will have to know why he opposes it — not merely that he does.
Oh, he knows why alright; he just can’t say it out loud. He “opposes” it because he thinks that position will help him get elected. No other reason than just that. And that’s his reason for everything.
These are his principles. But if you don’t like them, he has others.

Our experiment has nearly bankrupted MA. Only federal aid is sustaining our law. We’re being propped up so that Obama can drive a similar plan through Congress.

Which oddly enough is the same thing they've been accusing the Tea Part of being capable of.
Time to clean this house or burn it down and build another on it's foundations.
