The feds shouldn’t infringe on your liberty, that’s the states’ job!

Mitt Romney doesn't think the federal government should infringe on your rights, he thinks that's up to the individual states!

After watching Mitt Romney try to explain why Romneycare and Obamacare are different, I’m left with a question. Is Mitt Romney a liar, or does he just not get it? By “it” I mean small government.

To hear Romney explain it, Romneycare and Obamacare are nothing alike. Of course, any literate person can see that they are nearly identical.

I will give him that point, but still, his argument is lacking. » read more

Mitt Romney is throwing stones from his glass house

Mitt Romney criticizes Obamacare, but loves Romney care

I find former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney to be an insincere, disingenuous person who will say anything to get elected. Basically, I don’t trust a word he says. With that said, I was surprised to see this quote from Romney:

Fast food calorie counts, but no tort reform

By now, you’ve probably already heard of the 1,990 page health-care reform bill being pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her progressive minions. Once Americans have a chance to read through it, I’m sure we’ll find some interesting stuff. I just found an interesting factoid today: Section 2572 will require vending machines and restaurant chains to include calories counts on their menus. Isn’t this a little much?

I’m sure Pelosi and company could easily rationalize this by explaining that informed consumers would buy less unhealthy food if they could actually see how bad it is for their health. This would result in the typical person consuming fewer calories, which could result in less obesity, which could result in fewer medical conditions, which could result in fewer dollars spent on health-care. Got all that? » read more
