Lol! I just heard about that! Haha, it's like all hope for repubs is just being flushed down a toilet. Lmao.
 
Romney has been conspicuously quiet on the issue for the obvious reason that as governor of Massachusetts, he imposed a health insurance mandate of his own.



For that reason, his campaign has avoided addressing explicitly whether a mandate is the same thing as a tax.



That changed when Eric Fehnstrom stepped directly onto a political land mine on MSNBC.



Asked by anchor Chuck Todd whether Romney “agrees with the president” that “you should not call the tax penalty a tax, you should call it a penalty or a fee or a fine,” Fehrnstrom answered: “That’s correct.”
