Regardless of who wins in November, the post-election period between the the election and January should be a doozy. We’ll be up against the debt ceiling again, the automatic spending cuts for both defense and other discretionary, and expiration of the Bush tax cuts that were originally scheduled to expire at the end of 2010.

The Grand Old Party keeps messing up. Every time Mitt or Newt tries to talk about taxes or deficits, the Demo-mob wheels out some middle-aged gal missing three limbs, numerous teeth, and part of her sight and hearing, who exclaims before a packed auditorium “I don’t know where I’d be without my Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security.” Tears flow as the Prez exclaims “They want to take away ” your hard-earned benefits. Yes, vote in more Repubs and our great cities will soon resemble Paris before the Revolution or the countryside during the Dust Bowl years.

Ricky stepped up to the plate to keep us entertained in their place. But it doesn’t look like this show will stretch out long enough to make the June primary in CA relevant. Darn!

“Please, if you love the USA, vote for any GOP but Romney.”

“If you love the USA?” Oh, brother! Like who? Rick Perry, maybe?

Trust me, I won’t vote for Romney. That said, you might have pointed out something else about ObamaCare being based on RomneyCare. As evidenced by this week’s Supreme Court arguments, the cornerstone of both RC and OC is the individual insurance mandate, which, in turn, makes possible Guaranteed Issue, Community Rating, and Exchanges to make the currently broken for-profit individual insurance market function more like the employer-based Group insurance system.

Neither RC nor OC invented the insurance mandate concept. That was developed by the conservative Heritage Foundation in response to HillaryCare and as a way to reform the health insurance market in a free market framework based on personal responsibility. It was supported by conservatives and Republicans. It was supported by Newt as recently as 2011. As recently as 2008, RomneyCare and it’s insurance mandate were held up by Republicans as an example of a free market solution to health care. At the beginning of the health care reform discussions in Congress in 2009 (hundreds of hours of which were live on C-SPAN, contrary to Republican claims that it was all done in back rooms), Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) advocated the mandate. Then, Republicans decided to disengage and oppose health care reform and everything else Obama, at which point Chuck Grassley and others started talking about “Death Panels” and getting retired folks fired up to say “Keep government hands off my Medicare.”

So, if you’re going to vote for some GOP candidate other than Romney because of RC and OC, just remember that leading conservatives developed the foundation for both.

Romney – The liberals’ favorite GOP Candidate. Don’t vote for Romney. Please tell all your friends to vote, we need a big turnout.
These are a few reasons why Romney is considered liberal:

1) Romney created RomneyCare which ObamaCare is based on. Kennedy helped develop RomneyCare. Romney said he would repeal ObamaCare. Why would he if he supports RomneyCare, he is not telling the truth.

2) Most decisions Romney made as Govenor was liberal, not conservative. So, what make you think he will be conservative all of a sudden?

3) Romney lost to McCain by a landslide last GOP Primary, and McCain lost to Obama by a landslide. So, how is Romney going to win this time?

4) When Obama wishes Romney well in the election and name calls and villianizes the other candidates, beware!

5) Have you noticed the mass press and critics have shredded apart every GOP candidate except Romney? That is because they know Romney fits their agenda.

Please, if you love the USA, vote for any GOP but Romney.
