Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.


Ezra Klein on the fact that Romneycare is actually working well:

Quote:

The reason, perhaps, is that neither campaign sees much upside in bringing them up. As Cohn writes, “nearly everybody in the state has health insurance, while data suggest more people have regular access to care and fewer people face crushing health care costs.” Plus, as you can see in the graph, costs are increasing more slowly than in the rest of the nation. But since that makes Romney look like a good governor and a closet moderate, the Obama campaign has little reason to mention it, and since it makes Obamacare look good, the Romney campaign has little reason to mention it.

Romney doesn't want to talk about that for the same reason he doesn't want to talk about the economy: It makes him look bad and Obama look good.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Yup; connecting himself with ObamaCare would be the death knell for Romney, which is ironic, given putting himself forward as a "job creator" ain't workin' too well, and the rest of his record as Governor is pretty bad, and he can't go after Obama on Rev. Wright without reminding people he's a Mormon...oh, and he's said family is off limits.

The ONE good thing he could point to with pride is RomneyCare, and he doesn't dare. Ironic, isn't it?

By the way, I instinctively spell it the same way you did, and my SpellChecker keeps reminding me it's "Massachusetts". Just FYI.

OH! When I saw that title I thought it was a thread about the Democrat Senate Canidate having to expalain how she's only 1/32 American Indian, but made everyone think she was 1/2 Indian. Other then that I have no interest in Taxachussets unless it ivolves another dead Kennedy, they're getting to be fewer every year.

Who thought she was 1/2 Indian? I'd never heard that she was anything but white until last week, when I heard that she's 1/32 American Indian. By the way, that's apparently Indian enough to get elected chief of the Cherokee Nation, since that's how Indian their chief is.

Never understood why that even matters - to anyone.

I figure it this way, you join the tribe, you're part of the tribe - unless they banish and exile you.
What's genetics got to DO with anything.

Some tribes are more particular than others about bloodline and amounts.

I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.
