The Inevitable Mitt Romney Tour Running Thread

It would help their credibility if the bulk of Republican operatives weren't deathly-afraid of offending The Great Florida Slobbo Pantload. The backtracking when TGFSP displays the least offense towards anyone wandering off base remains hysterical.

 

Fixed.

 

The country will still be the same recognizable mess in four years, even if everything you wrote comes to pass.

 

Good lord. Tort reform and cross-state insurance is STILL the best you can come up with? (And if it's that brilliant a solution, why wasn't it passed during the 12 years Republicans controlled Congress and the six years they controlled Congress and the White House?)

I wouldn't recognize the country either if a substantial percentage of the 46 million without health insurance were able to get it. Unlike you, however, I don't consider that to be a bad thing.

 

The government already has interceded into a citizen's private medical life:

Two words: Terri Schiavo.

 

Yeah, I'm not thrilled with him either, but he doesn't scare the shit out of me, which in this election may be the only requirement to get my vote.

 

I heard that there's a tape floating around where someone asked President Obama about the term right wingers like to spit out, "Obamacare."

Apparently he said "I love it. Because Obama does care. If they want to be the side that doesn't care, so be it."

Too bad President Obama is on such an island when it comes to this landmark bill. If the Democratic candidates for lower office had any balls, they'd come out in full-throated support of the law. Hold pressers surrounded by the 23-24 year olds who still have insurance thanks to the law. Hold pressers at retirement homes, highlighting all the lower drug prices Seniors have as a result. Hold media events with the insurance companies that will make billions off the mandate. Ditto events surrounded by women, who get free access to birth control.

As it stands, only one side is going around giving their description of the "country-destroying, socialist Obamacare." It's a wonder the unknowing public haven't already taken up their pitchforks, trying to get this bill "sent back to Europe from where it came!"

 

Other than voting against Obama, what does he offer you?

In other words, are you and the rest of the people who voted for him, should he win election, going to wake up the day after the inauguration and say, "now what?"

I'm not baiting, I'm honestly interested in what you think Romney's plans for the country are. Because I have heard plan none.

 

Romney is apparently a socialist for supporting minimum wage increases, while Newt thinks it hurts blacks.

Yeah, if Romney wins, I'm going to wake up Wednesday morning and say, "OK, let's see what he can do..."

Last time 500,000 people filled a park to annoint Black Jesus as the savior of all mankind and even most liberals think he's been wildly ineffective.

He tried, he failed, let's move on to the next guy.

 

Valid point. I never said I agreed with everything that happened under eight years of Bush. There were plenty of government intrusion issues that took place during W's years in office as well.

With how I think about government intruding on rights/civil liberties lately, I've joked to people that I might as well become a Libertarian.

And Ben, you're so right about Rush and the Machine.

 

But my question is...move on to what?

"Black Jesus" promised us he'd get us out of Iraq. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd kill Bin Laden. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd reform health care. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd end don't ask, don't tell. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd refocus America's economy on green jobs. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd sign the Ledbetter Fair Play act. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd allow media to cover returning KIA bodies at Dover. He did.
"Black Jesus" promised us he'd increase support for Veterans. He did.

Besides increase tax breaks to fellow billionaires, what has Mitt promised?
