Should we have learned by now that extremism is costly ...? - Reply to this comment

Quality health care is a service that every American is entitled to. And to say that it is a tax while at least 80 percent of the private industry will benefit from the accrued business is misleading. - Reply to this comment
- I am confused. My recollection is that only one Supreme Court Judge (Roberts) saw the healthcare mandate as a tax. That was his argument for allowing it to stand, but not that of the other four justices in the majority, not the four minority justices. Over the last week, I began hearing all the network news saying that the Supreme Court has declared it a tax. To me that is imprecise, sloppy, and misleading journalism. Then Romney picked it up making a political ploy to argue Obama is raising taxes to take the focus off his role as the chief architect of the plan. The Supreme Court ruled the law was constitutional. One judge had the opinion that it is a tax. There is a difference.

- Romney is a joke. He just proved again that he flip-flops on issues at a moments notice. I don't a politician changing their minds on an issue after care thought and consideration, but Romney does neither.

- This is almost funny (well, actually it IS funny) to read - most entertaining!
I mean, Romney did the exact same thing in Mass. (and it is working very well from all accounts). Yes, Mass. is a state, not a nation...but other than that, is is a copy of what Obama did for the US.
Now, Romney could be honest about it and admit his success, but NO - instead, he wriggles and squirms and fibs ad nauseum, trying to convince someone, ANYONE stupid enough to believe him that what he did is much much different than what the US did.
He did an individual mandate using a penalty tax, and should criticize NO ONE for doing the same thing he did. - Reply to this comment
- A future Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts once signed a document, enumerating the Colonists' grievances against King George III.
The first grievance was:
"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary to the public good." - Reply to this comment
