Was there outrage among the right
   
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 09:32 PM by Proud Liberal Dem
when Romney enacted a health care plan in Massachusetts that mandated (private) health insurance coverage? Were there foaming at the mouth protests against the plan or lawsuits filed to stop "Romneycare"? I don't live in Massachusetts and hadn't been paying much attention to it but I don't seem to remember similar concern among Republicans there (or elsewhere) about that plan's private insurance mandate nor any attempts to get the mandate removed or "Romneycare" repealed. Did I just miss something or are Republicans just being hypocrites (as usual)? :shrug:

One of the reasons that I didn't support Romney was because of that.

I also believe there was a slight difference. You don't get fined for not having it, you get a tax credit for complying. Since I don't live there I really am not certain about it though.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

State policy.

State problem.

Funny how the 10th Amendment works like that, huh?

But it should be noted his chances of securing the GOP nomination are all but dead because of it. Is that enough outrage for you?

And where is your outrage for a democrat president lining you up to buy insurance based on a republican scheme?

Was there outrage?....of course not...why not? ...because it was a moonbat idea in a state run by moonbat liberals, lived in by moonbat liberals that elected the moonbats that passed the moonbat idea.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

No kiddin' Like I give a shit what happens in AssaShootsUs! As far as Romney is concerned, it was the single reason I wrote him off as soon as he hit the scene! Didn't know I was supposed to burn him in effigy like you asshats did with "W", just 'cause I disagreed with his politics.

Yeah dipshit, there was. It's the reason I won't support his candidacy in the primaries now.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

There aren't enough people on the right who live in Mass to formulate enough outrage to be heard over the the sound and fury of the liberals.

Would amount to about the same as a silent fart in a thunderstorm.

Yes there was.

You lose DUchebag.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
