Romney Shill Tries To Explain How Romneycare Is Not The Same As Obamacare, But Fails Hilariously

Yesterday we reminded everyone that there'd be no such thing as Obamcare if Mitt Romney had not established universal health insurance in Massachusetts, otherwise known as Romneycare.

Now, it's no surprise that Mitt Romney wants to run for President in 2012, and there's no doubt that his GOP foes will seek to use Obamacare has a noose to tie around Romney's neck.

So already he has his allies out there spinning on his behalf. Brad Jones (R), the Massachusetts House minority leader, writes in the DailyNews that Romneycare is not Obamacare.

How not? Well he lists a couple of things about taxes, Medicare, and Madicaid, and then says:

The final big difference is perhaps most important of all: Ours is a state plan, not a federal plan imposed on the entire country.

We've made mistakes. Massachusetts mandates which medical coverage must be included in each insurance policy, including such things as an unlimited number of in vitro fertilization treatments. That inflates costs for everyone. And Massachusetts applies a $295 annual fee on employers for each uninsured employee, which has hurt the business climate in our state. Then-Gov. Mitt Romney's objection to both these measures was overridden by Democrats in the legislature.

Regrettably, Obamacare repeats these design errors.

So, basically, the difference comes down to a tautology (State vs. Federal), so big duh on that. And then he notes a couple of ticky tacky design errors about fees and the number of in vitro fertilization treatments.

In otherwords: Romneycare is Obamcare. Don't worry Mitt, you've got at least another year and a half to figure out an explanation!

1. If Romney wasnt already toast, Beck made Mormons radioactive religiously.

3. I find it difficult to believe

That Romney will be able to get out the vote as the republican nominee. Yes, technically, he'll be supported, but it will be tepid at best. The religious whackos that the GOP has been catering to for so long have been told time and time again - from the big names like Falwell and Robertson to the smalltime preacher of a small church in the backwoods of Georgia - that Mormons are part of a cult. Now all of the big namers and smalltimers will reverse themselves and try to get people out to vote for Mitt if he wins the nomination, but I can't see a big outpouring of love for him. I don't think even a Catholic could make it in the GOP on the presidential ticket.

Racism is so high right now because of the black bogeyman baptized Barack (alliteration, I love it), that there's no way they're going to go with someone who isn't a protestant white male. So, sorry Jindal. Sorry Palin. Not that you two stood a chance anyway since you're both dumber than a bag of hammers (and definitely less useless). Mitt might have the bare requirements in intelligence, but the previously-mentioned Mormonism, and his snake-like twisting and turning on every issue near-and-dear to conservatives will doom him.

2. Unlimited number of in vitro fertilization? That is outrageous!!!

Seriously. Outrageous!! Must be a christian thing. Which is saying that god's plan was not to have children.


Seriously. I don't think Romneycare and Obamacare are identical.
