5. Jenmito? Where in the media do they consistently
Call it Romney Care? Please provide links.

Our 'democrati' president put his best effort behind a republican plan.
At least give Romney the sincere credit he deserves - Democrats can pass a republican plan.

8. You mean why don't they call OBAMA'S HCR law "Romneycare"?
If that's what you mean, of course they don't. I thought you meant why don't they call ROMNEY'S HC law "Romneycare." Obama DID pass a democratic plan. So did Romney-in liberal Massachusetts.

9. Obama passed a republican plan - Romney Care.
That's what it is - adjusted for a federal program.

It's Romney Care & centrist Democrats like you should be careful to call it that.
Because that's what the party is going to run on.

11. Romneycare is a Democratic plan. Romney was Governor of MA-not exactly a "red" state.
And I am NOT a centrist Dem. I'm a LIBERAL Dem.

That GOVERNOR of Massachusetts - and that he wasn't involved in negotiations -
For that plan?

15. When Romney Care was passed in Washington - w/ Dems
In control of all 3 houses - the president was no doubt involved.

So you're saying Massachusetts held a gun to Romney's head to pass the same?
That he was neutered?

Like Obama & a public option?

That the BEST democratic president in a generation can't produce better than a republican governor of Massachusetts?
Not even a little bit?

19. The Obama HC Law was the best he could get with the Conservadems in Congress.
Romneycare was passed FIRST. And with MA being a very liberal state, Romney passed what the majority in his state wanted. You can continue to call Obama's HC Law "Romney Care" all you want, if it makes you feel that it's a "Republican" law. Well, you're wrong. ROMNEY passed a LIBERAL HC law, which is why no conservatives like it.

2. All Obama needs to do is tell them the truth -
it was mostly written by the Heritage Foundation. That should do it.

22. It was written for Senator Dole to use as a response -
to the Clinton plan in 1993. Dole didn't need to use it as some powerful self-centered arrogant Democratic Senators took care of the Hillary problem for them.

3. I hope they run that bastard romney guy, I love to see when a rich
asshole loses/doesn't get his way. Heathcare for as shitty a deal as it was, was the only nod to the middle class in the last 40 years.

14. You DO know that Obama, unlike Romney, became rich by himself by writing books as an adult, right?

16. So you're saying his top down economic plan that so
Resembles what the rich want has nothing to do with the fact that he is rich &
Will get good deal richer via a vis speaker fees when he's done?

17. It's the USA, the wild west, it's about thre best you could possibly hope for
In the land of John Wayne there isn't room for the poor, sick or old? Obama became aware of this sometime in the last 2 or so years.

20. You obviously have something against Obama. You like to think the worst of him
Edited on Fri Jun-03-11 12:35 PM by jenmito
even though he grew up without a silver spoon in his mouth and was still repaying his student loans 'til a few years before he became president. He remembers where he comes from and wants to help others. He is NOT putting policies in place to make himself richer. That's a ridiculous statement. :eyes:
