Romney Again Touting RomneyCare

      I mean at this point, the Surgeon General needs to issue a warning that trying to follow Mitt Romney's governing philosophy increases your chances for acute whiplash disorder by 800%. You simply have to be kidding me.

     Like Clinton says: "As another President said "There you go again."

     "A little more than 24 hours have passed since Mitt Romney took the base-alienating step of touting the health care law he signed while governor of Massachusetts in an interview with NBC. Unlike the last time his campaign heralded his signature achievement, however, the conservative grumbling was relatively muted."

     "Why? Because, Republicans say, things are so bad for Romney that they’ll even let him talk up his health care law."

      "Romney raised the law unprompted during a Wednesday interview with NBC, saying the Massachusetts law — which is very much like the national health care reform law he hopes to eliminate — is evidence that he has a heart."

      “[D]on’t forget — I got everybody in my state insured,” Romney said. “One hundred percent of the kids in our state had health insurance. I don’t think there’s anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record.”

     I can see why the GOP might finally feel like relaxing a little. If they had done so a little earlier they might be in better shape. As it is, at this point, this can only give Romney flipflop of a campaign an even more acute sense of cognitive dissonance.

   “Conservatives have bigger fish to fry than worry about doctrine right now,” said Rick Wilson, a Republican consultant based in Florida."

   "There were some detractors, of course."

    “Facepalm,” read the headline on Twitchy, a conservative Twitter aggregation site.

    “The obvious problem, of course, is that if there isn’t ‘anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record,’ then Obama wins the empathy argument … because his policies involve helping more people get health insurance,” wrote the National Review’s Katrina Trinko.

     Bigger fish to fry? I thought ObamaCare was the bane-or should we say Bain-of the existence of conservatives. I thought this election was about two starkly different philosophies of government in terms of size, scale, and what the government's role is in the economy?

     Ms. Trinko is right.

     If you're going to attack the President as being LBJ 2.0 what real example is there compared to ObamaCare. Yet Romney is now saying I have a heart because I passed ObamaCare. Now vote for me so I can on my first day back in office repeal: ObamaCare.

     At this point, I'm just really confused. What exactly is the burning reason we have to vote out President Obama? Bill Kristol has already said that the President actually did a decent job stabilizing the economy after the Bush meltdown.

     Kristol did say, however, that Romney should run an ideological campaign about the size of government. However, if you say that ObamaCare is ok, in fact, that Romney did it himself and this proves he has a heart then haven't you completely undercut your argument that Obama's an out of control God hating socialist?

    Recently folks like Joe Scarborough have said that Romney's a great guy, a great businessman, and a great father: he's just a terrible politician. That may be. However, he missed his calling. He'd win the Olympic Gold in flipflopping and cognitive dissonance.
