This is why Josh Marshall suggests that Romney's strong reaction to the passage of health care reform is a sign that "the passage of this bill pretty much ends his chances to be nominated for the presidency."
"If the Republicans want to make Obama's signature piece of legislation a centerpiece of their 2012 campaign (and it's hard to imagine they won't since what else will they run on?), they can't very well run a candidate who supported and passed close to an identical bill [in Massachusetts]. It's a no-brainer."

I think 2010 is going to be all about repealing Obamacare. Can the GOP get to 60 in the Senate? How pissed off are people?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait til November to find out...
Read your Constitution...repeal requires another bill to be passed, which requires the President's signature. Good luck with that. And a veto override requires 2/3 of both houses.
ReplyDeleteAnd "Obamacare" is the dumbest name I've heard for insurance reform...you make it sound like a government run British NHS model system, and even conservatives aren't dumb enough to actually believe that...or are they?
Guess they are. Figures, you've probably never even read the bill, have you?
