Despite promising to repeal ObamaCare if elected president during previous months of campaigning, Mitt Romney now does not seem to intend to remove all of the United States’ new healthcare reform law. In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press September 9, Romney said people with pre-existing conditions and adults under age 26 would not lose their guarantee of coverage under his intended course of action as president.

“I say we’re going to replace Obamacare,” Romney said in the interview. “And I’m replacing it with my own plan. And, you know, even in Massachusetts where I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people.”

Didn't Romney hire his friends to run his campaign? big mistake.

Rodney's campaign was pretty lackluster I thought. I remember freaking out around late August... Uh guys when is this "carpet bombing" going to happen? It never did and for every Romney commercial I saw two Obama commercials.

Makes you question Rodney's leadership. If he couldn't run the campaign well, well, maybe it's best he wasn't elected president. If Romney was a disaster it would have set up the next Obama.

The fundamentals of the latest economic report are pretty rotten... Proof positive that Obama is sinking the country. When obamacare hits watch out! I think it will severely damage the democrats.

TM, my friend...

There are two reasons why Obama won (cough...spit) reelection in this county.

1. Possible/probable voter fraud.

2. Romney vowed to put this country back to work.

Folks, you've got to realize that things have changed to a great degree in our country. Surrealistically even.

What I'm about to say no longer encompasses the usual Democrat voting minority demographic.

We, the folks who are the self reliant, independent sustainers of our own livelihoods, are now damn near outnumbered by the indolent slacker class.

We all know there has been the great dumbing down in our education system...well, now there has been a numbing down in the workforce though unemployment benefits and food stamps. Our country has been doped up on the "free stuff" opiate and the last thing it wanted to hear was anything about going back to work.

Romney could have offered at least one job to every household and all the usurper had to do was say "redistribute the wealth" in rebuttal and game-over.

Game.

Over.

I am getting tired of this meme. I will call out the GOPe any damn time I please. I earned it. I have hustled in every single election since the late 80's to get the GOP candidate elected no matter what a loser he/her was. I never skipped an election and have never voted Rat. If I see structural problems, total lying or incompetence, I am going to go off on it. Since 2004, I have seen first hand the DC party elites come in and destroy and bastardize the state parties and piss on the grass roots activist who are actually on the ground working instead of sitting on their fat over payed asses on K Street. I am not standing for it any longer. Garbage like this article at the beginning of this thread is nothing but lies and spin from a DC insider who's paycheck depends on her stroking beltway denizens. Not one of her "suggestions" will add one vote to the GOP. Know why? We tried all this compromise already and it destroyed the party.

Principles and action win elections. Standing for something wins elections. Rolling over and being Rat light loses elections.

But, your stated focus is "stuctural problems" in the GOP, while the cited article's focus is achieving incremental victories within the current legislative session.

The issues this woman brings up in the article are example after example of the structural problems in the party. We have a bunch of lazy DC GOP pols only interested in saving their cushy jobs instead of winning on their own agenda. Gun Control, Immigration. Those are Rat issues that poll very low in things people find important. Why isn't the GOP pushing issues that are popular with the country? Economic issues should be the only thing we hear from the GOP no matter what. There is also no growth agenda. We used to promote and educate people on how low taxes and low regulations created jobs and prosperity. Now all I hear from GOP pols is how they want to create new taxes while they just go along with whatever issue the Regime wants to peddle.

But isn't lowering taxes the one thing the entire GOP consituency agrees on?

Again, it seems like they're working against their own self-interests and I can't believe their seats are that safe.
