Why Romney WILL repeal Obamacare!

[Mott the Hoople]

Why Romney won't repeal the ACA:

#1. He won't get elected.
#2. Repubs won't win both houses.
#3. They have nothing to replace it with
#4. even if they did they don't have the stomach to see it through.

The silver lining here is that Repubs got some critical elements they prefer in HC reform such as a public mandate (Dems prefer a public option) and State Health Exchanges. There is also much about the ACA reforms Repubs like. The standardization in health records and the new reporting requirements, for example. So the upside for Repubs is that they got a lot of what they wanted in these reforms and with out taking any of the political odium the Dems have. They have used it to good affect but they can go to far as these reforms are here to stay and more are on the way. Repubs can take this too far politically as, given time, these reforms will be very favorible and the public persception of Repubs on this issue will not be favorible.

I thought jobs were the big issue?

I think that's over stated too. It will certainly be a major aspect. If Romney can sell the public that he can create more jobs he'll be the next President.

What's Ironic is that Repubs always run on shrinking government but that the last two Presidents who actually did shrink the size of the government were both Democrats.

LMFAO... sounds like you're a little conflicted there! Or it that "A-fflicted?"

Obama has done a fine job of repealing Obamacare himself by executive action...

If that's true, why are you not happy? Praising him?

I'm very happy, Counselor.

Mocking his failure is just a bonus.

Romney didn't win the nomination because he promised to repeal Obamacare.

In fact, he didn't actually 'win' anything.

The others ran out of money, and his electorate held their collective noses, and declared him the candidate.

Romney would've redeemed himself if he hadn't stopped pulling punches in the debates. God, it was great to see Hussein's head hang low in the first round while getting chewed out by his moral superior!
