Quote of the Day -- Mitt Romney in 2006 on the individual mandate
As Romney himself wrote in a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed back in 2006:

Some of my libertarian friends balk at what looks like an individual mandate. But remember, someone has to pay for the health care that must, by law, be provided: Either the individual pays or the taxpayers pay. A free ride on government is not libertarian.

2. Shrug -- so dems fully endorse Romney.
He must be proud right about now.

And centrists must be lining up to kiss his ass
for giving them a winning strategy.

5. Romney's mandate PLUS McCain's tax on health benefits!
Republicans win by losing.
