Editorial
Pick a side, Mr. Romney

Who is Mitt Romney?

We understand that, especially in Alabama, many have no use for President Barack Obama. It would be helpful, though, if Romney would quit switching positions long enough for voters to understand how he would run the nation.

The problem was evident last week. In a national broadcast Wednesday, Romney was asked whether he had sympathy for citizens who lack his advantages.

"Don't forget, I got everybody in my state insured," Romney said, referring to a Massachusetts law nearly identical to the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act. "One hundred percent of the kids in our state had health insurance. I don't think there's anything that shows more empathy and care about the people of this country than that kind of record."

Less than an hour later, he was speaking to a crowd of supporters.

"I will repeal Obamacare and replace it with real health care reform," he said. "You see, Obamacare is really Exhibit No. 1 of the president's political philosophy, and that is that government knows better than people how to run your lives."

Romney has taken both sides of nearly every issue. All voters can be sure of is that he really, really wants to be president.

And he'll make a much better president than the Muslim Marxist liar holding that title now!!!

Editor. Massachusetts State run health care IS NOT nearly identical to Obama care. Just cause you print it does not make it so.

By the governments own figures, Obama care will leave more than 30 million uninsured, You cannot keep your doctor - they are going to all retire, You cannot keep your company health plan since the greater percentage of them will nix their plan, pay their fine and then folks have to go to Government Run laboratories.This is all about denying Full care to seniors while covering every non-citizen in the country. Death panels, is not an exaggeration. There will be a parole board mentality determining the validity of care on the individual. Basically bean counters it does not take a rocket scientist to KNOW what will happen. Although on a brighter note, you are very consistent with your innuendos and less than half truths.

Well here we go again. Not studying for oneself to see who is lieing and how it is working our for our country and seniors. Our democrats left us years ago. When will we believe this. They want to keep us dumbed up and on the plantation, their words and wishes. They don't want to quit spending our money and giving it away. We have to count pennies to make sure we can buy groceries and gas for auto. Obama health care has nothing to do with health. Has everything else in it they want to jam down our throats and take what little we earn and have. Romney may not be that geat a campaigner but he does believe in something Obama and wife don't, America and it's people. They now say Obama phone for free, excuse me but that government program was out during Clinton and yes Bush's term. It could just as well been called Bush free phone give away. First off, they aren't free. We pay for them and you have to qualify to receive one. Michelle said for the first time she can say she is proud to be an American. That was only after his election. She and him both have showed how much they hate America and what it stands for. He also has made suggestions that we shouldn't be so powerful and brought down, he sure has done that. He wants us to be like Europeans, well I don't. They are broke and turmoil over their. Our jobs are going, and no not because of Bush. Obama constantly blames Bush for his ineptibility to run this great country. When we lose this great country and our trust from other countries, I hope you will be able to say I didn't see this coming, it is there just open your eyes and mind. Be able to explain to your children and grandchildren how our country was lost and our money stolen from us. God help us all. God Bless America. I am an American where is Obamas loyalty, not here for sure.

i wander what other Mandates will get rammed down our throats???? once it starts.....

Tammy, you "wander"? I WONDER if he'll mandate education reform and scrap the atrocious No Child Left Behind that the worst president in history (Bush II) initiated.
