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. Later on, he says that one of the big differences is that Romneycare was a state solution, and was not pushed on the states by the Federal Government. I will give him that point, but still, his argument is lacking. » read more

Hey Mitt! Do you remember Romneycare?
Mitt Romney gave a policy speech on healthcare today, and not surprisingly, he criticized Obamacare. I don’t disagree with his views on Obamacare, but could someone remind him that he did a similar thing at the state level while he was Governor of Massachusetts. Romneycare, anyone?
I strongly agree with his speech’s focus on allowing states latitude to make decisions, portability, and free market solutions. Unfortunately, when he was in charge, he went the big government rout. Mitt has no street cred.

Mitt Romney is throwing stones from his glass house
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:
While other possible candidates talked about repealing healthcare in their CPAC speeches, Romney barely mentioned it.
It came up when he accused Obama and “liberals” of looking to “European solutions” to the economic crisis by increasing government spending and moving for a “takeover” of healthcare.
“It does not work there and it will never work here,” Romney said. “We are an exceptional land.”

Defunding Obamacare: Great idea, but a waste of time
Next week, the House of Representatives will vote on whether to block funds for Obamacare. This is being done because there weren’t enough votes in the Senate to repeal Obamacare. Instead, the House is going a different route by leaving the law in place, but starving it of money so it doesn’t come to fruition. There’s just one problem: Republicans don’t stand a chance.
I would like to see Obamacare repealed, and I’m glad to see that a vote was taken on the issue. What we have here is nothing more than politicians standing on a soap box and wasting time. Anyone following the issue knows that the GOP doesn’t have the votes in the Senate to make any meaningful changes, yet they push on. » read more

Michael Bloomberg is wrong again
Is it just me, or does Michael Bloomberg seem pretty quick to dismiss the idea of a foreign terrorist? Not only that, but he seems intent on pinning it on a conservative who might not like the recent health care bill. Not surprisingly, it looks like Mayor Bloomberg was 100% wrong.
Authorities have arrested 30 year old Faisal Shahzad who was trying to escape on a flight to Dubai. Shahzad came to the United States form Pakistan in 1999 and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. It seems that many officials, like Michael Bloomberg, are reluctant to admit that this terrorist act might have originated from a foreign country, even though there is some supporting evidence. » read more

Fidel Castro likes Obamacare
Fidel Castro thinks Barack Obama did a great job bringing Obamacare to the masses. My only question is when Hugo Chavez will release a statement of support and admiration for Barack Hussein Obama’s latest government power grab.
During the election, many of the Obamessiah’s followers would quickly disagree with any criticism of his socialist tendencies. After taking over banks, insurance companies, car companies, the health care industry, and student loans in just 14 months, is there any doubt what this man is up to? I’m waiting for him to take over a news organization next. He can have his own state run media outlet, just like Hugo Chavez. Hey, do you think MSNBC is available?
