Not real clear where he actually stands on healthcare or immigration. That being said, I'm not that impressed with any of them.
1) Repeal Obama-care 2) If you immigrated illegally, get at the back of the line
Are those etched in concrete somewhere? Seems to me that he thought mandated healthcare was a great idea in Massachusetts. Not real sure why he changed his mind and really not sure if I'd believe the answer that he would give if I asked. If you believe half the shit these guys are saying on stage you are a fool. The citizens of Mass wanted a state run health care system, and as their governor, his job was to help come up with the best possible system. There's a huge difference between state and federal mandates. If the latter is an epic fail, it's very difficult to roll back.

Lars, whether or not the citizens wanted it is irrelevent....the collective "citizens" of Mass aren't running the President, and the fact that Romney supported it tells me that he is open to socialist policies, and that concerns me. If he didn't want it, he should have told them that and lost the election, but instead he either pandered to votes, or simply likes the concept of social healthcare.

 The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but our system was designed to give states much autonomy, and they can try things out. If a program is successful it will be copied by others. If not, you haven't committed almost 20% of the nations economy to an untried plan.

A state should not have the power to mandate something just as the federal goverment shouldnt. If it is found to be constitutional then go for it.

Good, glad you agree. The state mandate to buy car insurance seems to have been accepted, but I don't know the legal precedence. no one forces you to own a car.......not every man, woman, and child pay for car insurance. My teenage son isnt paying for car insurance because he cant drive. I'm sure dreach isnt paying car insurance for his toddler. Piss poor analogy Lars.

Personally, I'm against mandates, but at some level we allow them. For example, some neighborhood communities dictate paint color, and must review external changes.
