Romney’s Name Now Being Tossed Around As Daschle’s Replacement

• February 4, 2009

The Democrats want socialized medicine. Tom Daschle was supposed to be the running back to carry their most prized domestic policy football into the end zone. But then a small matter of nearly $200,000 in unpaid taxes did him in, so now…Mitt Romney is the guy to replace him?
Some are apparently serious about it, and why not? Romney instituted socialized medicine in Massachusetts.
Which is why I never supported the guy for President.

If Obama wanted to bring Romney into the cabinet, he’d have to balance him by appointing a pro-choicer to a top HHS post because there are so many controversial, sexuality-related programs in that department that apportion money. The thinking here is that Romney would be the White House health care czar and that a Democrat — Gov. Kitzhaber of Oregon, maybe — would move over to Health and Human Services.
What does Romney get out of it? Assuming that Obama’s ship is merely listing now and that the economy has recovered perceptablly, 2012 is not going to be an attractive cycle year for a Republican to run for president. If managerial chops are what’s needed, then Romney’s resume cuts in… something that, again, the GOP didn’t seem to much appreciate in 2008. Like Hillary Clinton, Romney might be willing to trade his political ambition for the chance to do something awesome for the country.

What’s sad is that Romney’s chief qualification for this job is “Romneycare,” which has become an unmitigated disaster complete with health care shortages and out of control costs.
You want a shining example for why we should avoid nationalized health care like the plague? Look at what Romney did in Massachusetts.
So yeah, I could see why Obama might like him.

And we know Romney’s true ambition is not actually, you know, doing things, it’s pretending he is the Right-wing saviour and favored worshipper of the conservative Messiah.

Mind to provide a link to where Romney has stated that? I believe it is Obama who is worshiped by the mindless masses.

btw, 21 years ago Mitt Romney was working on his corporation Bain Capital where the annual internal rate of return on investments was 113%. What was Obama doing then? Oh yeah, shooting blow…

Look at the Republicans turn on their own when they align themselves with Obama.

Rest easy, Romney can’t go around pretending he is Ronald Reagan if he is offered and accepts.

According to a good friend who lives in Mass., it isn’t Romney’s health care that is the problem. It is the bastardization of his plan by the present Mass. powers-that-be that have turned it into a disaster.

And, Romney’s “chief qualification” isn’t the health care. It his overall genius and ability to turn things around. I wanted him at Treasury, where he really belongs.

Howard Dean??!! That’ ambulance chasing lawyer. You have to be kidding. What does he know about the health system except to squeeze exorbitant money out of it with sensational liabliity lawsuits?

Maybe Barry needs someone who has hired illegal alien gardeners to balance some of the tax cheats?

None of them attracted the same virulent assaults as did Sarah Palin, and for good reason

Yeah, because they were perceived as capable, if not misguided. Not the case for your precious Palin. She came across like a tupperware mom who conned her way into office.

Romney is a guy who advocates socialism. That means that he is not one of ours. Anybody who claims otherwise is speaking out of his ass.

Stated that how much he adores Reagan? Do I really need to do that in order for you to believe it?

Where you through the Republican presidential nominee election process?

Quit insulting dougee, he thinks highly of Romney.

This comment is a great insult to those on the right who hoped for Romney to win the nomination.

Another Republican in Barry’s cabinet?
What kind of chicanery is he up to?

A better question is whether there are any republicans in the republican party?

There were quite a few of us who didn’t like Romney when he was running for President. Or guilliani. Or McCain. Or Huckabee….

Romney may be a good choice but he may not be on the same page as Obama . I agree he is good at turning things around which is why he should have been the choice for the GOP candidate against Obama . I can’t comment on his health care plan in his home state as I have no information to use to say anything about it, but the idea that the democrats messed it up is very interesting as they generally touch something and it turns to crap. I think we need to change health care for the better but to nationalize it is not the way to improve it , one item that needs to happen is cost of insurance is to high and the cost of medical care has went up to much , I think a good place for reform would be to get the hospitals off of the stock exchange so they can be more like the old ones that operated under different policies , the stock holders drive the costs of all medical care up and it needs to be out of their hands $30.00 for a aspirin is a tad to much to satisfy just the stock holders. I have seen were the labs also charge 500.00 just to draw blood and call it something else . I got a bill for that much one time and of course I did not pay it, they called it another name but it was just the tech drawing the blood and 500 bucks was billed . the health care business is out of control as much or more then our government.

Kenny,

Amen to that. None of them attracted the same virulent assaults as did Sarah Palin, and for good reason. Huckabee and Rudy were out and out RINO’s, as was McCain, and even Romney had a spotty reputation as a Conservative-talker- Leftist-doer (he got elected in Taxachusetts fer cryin out loud)

That deck had been stacked against us early on in the primaries.

Those closest to Conservative principles, Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo, had their campaigns asphyxiated by means of near-total media blackouts.

We really do need to do something about the Tailwinding, TexANG’ing, Lying MSM if we are to remain a free country.
