Jed Merrill, have you read the news lately?

Their governor is now resorting to price controls. This is what happens when central planning is tried by Republicans and Democrats!

No more bailouts!!!! The moral hazard is killing capitalism.

Romney’s support on all three issues you mention is qualified. He supports TARP, but not the way its been administered, let alone the idea that the money that has been repaid should be used for other pet projects of Democrats and Unions…

Mitt has admitted only minor human impact on climate change. He is not what anyone could call a believer in the green movement.

As for health care, he will have a lot of explaining to do, although the good news is his proposal IS dramatically different from Obama’s. The biggest issue, he says, is that we should not be creating a byway toward government administered health insurance, let alone government administered health care. The Federal Government should also not be involved, he says, although I think he would support deregulation of interstate limits at a federal level, which most Republicans do support. If anyone acts, it should be on a state level (where they don’t have unlimited budgets and will have to act with fiscal restraint.) Mitt also breaks up the problem into getting everyone insured and reducing the cost burden. In Massachusetts, they addressed part one, but not part two. His new book gives free market suggestions for solving part two. Finally, his approach would have cost nothing to the taxpayer. Democrats, who were essential to make the bill “bi-partisan”, demanded a few extra concessions that brought the bill to a 1.2% of state budget level. 98% of the legislature supported it, and a majority of Massachusetts residents still support it, something that cannot be said of ObamaCare.

RomneyCare is not bankrupting Massachusetts. Massachusetts liberals are bankrupting Massachusetts the same way California liberals have done in California. They demand things of government that government and taxpayers cannot and should not sustain.

Bottom line: Romney does have some explaining to do, but the facts line up in his favor. I will definitely vote for him in 2012, and encourage others to do the same!
