ROMNEY'S FALSE FACTS ABOUT OBAMACARE

ACTUALLY.....It's not surprising that Mitt Romney is gambling not only his reputation, but his campaign on the economy.  He persistently argues that President Obama has has failed miserably at improving our economy.  A Romney strategist says that they view this as a very simple election.  Should we all just go sit on a beach somewhere until November?  I think not!!  Again, Romney is proving that he really doesn't "get it".  The Supreme Courts ruling on Healthcare is merely a test of his campaigns strategy.  Have they even thought of what the Supreme Courts decision to pass this law will mean to the voters in November?  He better get ready for the political fight of his lifetime if he intends to beat President Obama. 

Romney claims that Obamacare "put's the Federal Government between you an your doctor".  Not true!  The law will set minimum benefits, but medical services will not be Government run.  Romney is still calling Obamacare a "job killer".  This is truly overblown and has been a standard attack line for the Republicans. The facts have not stopped Republicans from making the "job-killing" claim a major part of their campaign 2012 ads:

1.  Five ads by the U.S.Chamber of Commerce attack Democrats by repeating the "Obamacare will kill jobs" statement.
2.  Seven other Chamber spots praise Republicans, using the same theme.
3.  An ad from the group Freedom Path says the law is "devastating to small business".
4.  Repulican Joe Bonner features a large stack of papers that he claims are "job-killing regulations and taxes" in one of his spots.

This is all a bunch of  (fact checked) baloney.  The GOP ads combine their "job-killing" claims with their often stated slogan calling the law a "government takeover of health care", which is false.  Remember, Mitt Romney is a rich over-reacting puppet, trying to buy his presidency. Remember that 'silver spoon' theory - he's trying it out again.

Get off your high-horse Gov Romney - you look really ridiculous. You  might want to loose those jeans!

THE ADVENTURES OF MITT ROMNEY - PART 1

ACTUALLY,  Mitt Romney made a victory speech after he clinched the presumptive Republican nomination for President, in which he very accurately quoted several statements from Obama's 2008 speech.   The rest of  Romney's speech, in itself, was nothing special, and his political presence did not start there.  It started the first time he stepped on the stage for a debate with his 7 other hopeful nominees for the next President of the United States.  It was there that he began his flip-flopping spin to the American people that he was trying so hard to impress.  There he was, in his best attire, bragging about being a very successful business man whose father was the former head of American Motors, and mentioning several times about his own wealth and not apologizing for being rich.  Kudos to you sir.   To me he was like a card board cut out with a smirky  smile that could be wound up to speak when spoken to.

Somehow he managed to become less and less liked in each state as the campaign rolled on.  Even so, he kept winning.  He managed to get donations from his deep pocket friends that resulted in millions of dollars of often blatantly inaccurate advertising.  Still, his image is that of an insensitive man who enjoys firing people and is back-tracking his statements so fast it's dizzying to keep up with him. 

He continues to rant about all the things he will do the "very first day of his Presidency".  He will have an extremely busy day!  In his words, "he is going to clean house".   He wants to put the nation on the path to a balanced budget; cut an array of taxes; build up the Navy and Air Force by adding 100,000 additional military personnel; slash domestic spending.  Stop me if I'm wrong, but has he ever said how he would do those things?  He did say he would just 'stop' some programs, just 'get rid of them'.  Oh yes, Medicare would end as we know it and he would immediately repeal Obamacare.  As governor of Massachusetts he enacted a health care program that was essentially just like President Obama's "health care for all" and called it Romneycare, but no, certainly he will not repeal that.  Do you suppose he thinks that the state of Massachusetts should benefit from health care, but not the other states in the union?  That's a little illogical, don't you think?  He's so out of touch with most of the American people, especially the middle class, he just doesn't relate - he doesn't 'get it'.

I've just read where Gov. Romney is not going to speak at the Texas Republican convention - poor man's just too busy for Texas.  However, Rick Santorum will be speaking in his place.  This is the man that has called Mitt Romney the absolute worse conservative candidate the Republicans had in the race.

Thanks for reading - there WILL be more later.
