You think? Bobby Jindal has already blasted Romney for such comments.

"You can imagine for somebody making $25, or $30, or $35,000 [£22,000] a year, being told you're now going to get free healthcare, particularly if you don't have it, getting free healthcare worth, what, $10,000 a family, in perpetuity, I mean this is huge," he added.

I love this quote. It's like he doesn't even realize he's basically saying they should be paying 1/5 to 1/3 of their income for healthcare out of pocket. And he doesn't get why many feel he's out of touch.

Well, either that or he's saying that people on low incomes should get shitty healthcare and consider themselves lucky to get even that...

I'd be a hell of a lot more interested in what republicans have to say about healthcare if they prefaced every single proposal they made re: removing Obamacare with a replacement plan.

But Romney didn't run on fixing healthcare. Romney ran on repealing Obamacare - period. One got the strong feeling that any solution he may have had to the healthcare crisis was of distant secondary importance.

Well really he ran on repealing Obamacare and replacing it with his Romneycare. Really just wanted his name on it. Though he never wanted to give specifics on anything. To easy to be pinned down to things.

I don't know about that CF. I mean Obamacare basically IS Romneycare, and I think an attempt to do anything but destroy Obamacare to its roots would have flied will with his base.

I don't remember him running on replacing it with Romneycare. When did he say that?

What I always remember him saying was the ultimate copout.

"Romneycare/Obamacare is GREAT for states to implement individually."

So he can have his cake (repeal Obamacare) and eat it too (not be contradicting his old policies when he says Obamacare is bad)

I think it was in pone of the debates. He wanted to repeal Obama and replace it with something else. Just never said what. Not hard to conclude it would be something like Romneycare though, And honestly I don't think he'd care what the base would want after being elected. If he did he would of answered question even his base had.. like which tax loopholes would he close.

He's funneh.

Oh, I don't doubt he made vague assertions, that's pretty much what he did all over the campaign, but I don't think he every stated any serious detail of a replacement plan.

True I don't think he stated any serious detail about anything though.

What Obama lovers should keep in mind is that a man with the charisma of a stuffed alligator, and a knack for sounding in touch with the common man rivalled only by Marie Antoinette, still managed to win 48% of the vote.

If I was a Democrat I'd find this terrifying.

I don't. There are a lot of Americans who hold political beliefs different than mine, and if even 8 years under old GW didn't kill us, I doubt 4 under Romney would have either.

I mean even the most idiotic presidential candidates carry 40+% of the popular vote, right? That doesn't necessarily mean the voters are idiotic.

I find things like this more terrifying: http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/11/georgia-senate-gets-52-minute-briefing-united-nations-takeover

Terrifying that people would believe it for the record..

I'm waiting for a Romney supporter to respond to this thread

They're still reeling.

romney should take it as no surprise that he was discounting ATLEAST 47 percent of his constituents that statement in itself made me change from voting for alexander stewart to obama. a president is responsible for ALL of his people not just the part he likes

Fasces, I haven't heard from a Romney supporter speaking in favor of Romney since the election. There's a reason for that.. all these fucking liberals and liberal retards are running away with their country… ahhhhhhhhhhh…
