http://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/markos-moulitas/237113-romneys-tax-flip-flopMitt Romney spent last week debating himself while President Obama took the offensive on healthcare. That’s the state of the race in the wake of the Supreme Court’s bold decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — and it favors the newly aggressive Obama.
Romney’s predicament is obvious — how do you attack a healthcare law concocted by the conservative Heritage Foundation, which you pioneered as governor, after it was approved by the Supreme Court’s foremost corporatist?
The GOP’s conservative base was enraged by the decision, and began screaming for Romney to take a forceful approach. A Bretibart.com headline proclaimed, “Conservatives to Mitt: Quit now if you won’t fight Obamatax.” Yet Romney and his campaign quietly dithered. Other than a short post-verdict statement, Romney was largely silent on healthcare.
Then top Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom went on TV to declare that the campaign disagreed with the court that the individual mandate was a tax — it was a penalty! After all, if Obama raised taxes with Obama-Care, so did Romney in Massachusetts with RomneyCare. They’re essentially the same law.

Thanks for stopping by with the fun message. :hi:
No one, repeat, no one in the Democratic Party is trying to convince those racist nut job republicans you speak of, who would walk through fire to vote for Mittens, to vote for Obama - they're trying to get people who aren't like you or me (politically focused), but voted for Obama in 2008, to vote again.
There's a lot of apathy amongst youth and minority voters, and if we're going to push back the scourge that is Mittens Inc. 2012, then we'll need to show voters who really don't pay much attention except to commercials, that this Mittens character is a lying, corrupt, tax dodging possible billionaire with foreign bank accounts who will say and do anything, and will continue to flip flop, to become president to serve his people... (Corporations are people, too). I'd say over a 1/3 of the close dozen+ friends I have are very uncaring about voting, so I'm sure the Dems know this, and are going to spend money doing things that many people say don't work, but are proven to work - attacking the negatives of Mittens!
