During last week’s GOP debate, Santorum went after Romney on the ObamaCare prototype he enacted in Massachusetts. Among other things, he called Romney on his absurd claim that it fixed the “free rider” problem. Media “fact checkers” backed Romney, but they were later forced to back down. In this podcast, Cato’s Michael Cannon explains how RomneyCare did, in fact, increase [...]
One of the most surprising developments of this primary season is Ann Coulter’s support for Mitt Romney. She is, of course, an inveterate RINO basher, so her support of the King of the RINOs is perplexing to say the least, particularly after this comment she made at last year’s CPAC convention: If we don’t run [...]
Levin discusses the exchange between Santorum and Romney on which I based yesterday’s American Spectator column. He points out, among other things, that Romney still defends the mandate he enacted in Massachusetts. The problem here is not that it was unconstitutional, as is the ObamaCare mandate (states have the right to enact such laws whereas Congress does not), but that it was a monumental [...]
My column in today’s American Spectator discusses Mitt Romney’s lack of genuine convictions, and how Rick Santorum exposed that fatal flaw in last Thursday’s Republican debate: The most telling moment of the debate was [Romney's] response to Rick Santorum’s eloquent explanation of ObamaCare’s importance to the GOP’s strategy in the general election and why giving Romney the nomination [...]
Watch this video and tell me that Romney has any prayer of winning a debate with Obama on health care reform. The two might as well be twins. This means that giving Romney the GOP presidential nomination is, as Rick Santorum pointed out in last Thursday’s debate, tantamount to surrendering on ObamaCare: [ht Hot Air]
Rick Santorum explains ObamaCare’s importance to the GOP’s strategy in the general election and why Romney can’t effectively make the case for repeal. Santorum pointed out that RomneyCare provided the blueprint for Obama’s plan and addeed: Folks, we can’t give this issue away in this election. It is about fundamental freedom. Giving the GOP presidential nomination to Romney will indeed [...]
Yep. You read that right. Norm Coleman, an important advisor to Mitt Romney, said the following on a talking heads gasfest a couple of days ago: You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president … You can’t whole-cloth throw it out. [...]
Santorum used ObamaCare to define himself as the only genuine conservative in the race by describing the histories of Romney and Gingrich as fair weather conservatives who caved on health reform: The biggest issue we have to deal with in this election that’s crushing the economy, will crush it even further and crush freedom … [...]
If you are one of those Republicans who believe Romney is the “most electable” GOP candidate, I recommend this. It sums up in just a few moments why Romney has no prayer of beating Obama in the general election. His flip-flops on health reform, the Second Amendment and abortion are well-documented and fatal. And this [...]
I don’t know how much good this ad will do Santorum, but it’s an accurate portrayal of Romney. His Massachusetts health care “reform” law was the prototype for ObamaCare. Like Obama, he was for the big bailouts, and has actually claimed (when it was politically expedient) to be more liberal than Ted Kennedy. What more do you need to know?
