Do you need yet another reason not to vote for Mitt Romeny, aka Mittens Obomney? Well, how about his doubling down on stupid and saying forcing people to buy insurance is fundamentally conservative.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I read about his latest demonstration of utter contempt for free choice over at Hot Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the money quote:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to stand by the things I believe,\u201d Romney told Fox News. \u201cI\u2019m not going to change my positions by virtue of being in a presidential campaign. What we did was right for the people of Massachusetts. The plan is still favored there by 3:1 \u2014 and it is fundamentally a conservative principle because the people take personal responsibility rather than turning to the government for free care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch the YouTube video to confirm what Hot Air transcribed:<\/p>\n

[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4c2MWsTl41o[\/youtube]<\/p>\n

This is utter and complete HORSE MANURE! Forcing people to buy something they don\u2019t want is not conservative, it is nothing less than fascism\/totalitarianism. It is 180 degrees from being in any way shape or form conservative.<\/p>\n

Obamney, like most statist totalitarians, can\u2019t stand the thought of people making their own decisions and living with the results. His big lie that most of the people in Massachusetts want this flies in the face of facts. Most people have grown to detest this.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are already several cases where people wanted to get health insurance that fit their needs and budgets and were told that \u201cNo, this doesn\u2019t meet the STATE\u2019s requirements. You must buy THIS insurance plan at a far higher cost. If you don\u2019t you will be massively fined.\u201d ((State mum on latest \u2018Romneycare\u2019 fines)) , ((‘RomneyCare’ Fines Hurt Massachusetts Families<\/a>)) , ((The Sad Side of Romneycare))<\/p>\n

One of the excuses used is that people can be made to buy auto insurance. Massachusetts is one of the states with this requirement. There\u2019s just one small difference. You don\u2019t have to own a car.<\/p>\n

Obamney is a classic RINO. He is a liar and a fraud. If elected he will NOT repeal Obamacare. We need his kind in office again like we need a hole in the head. Obamney should have run as a Liberal Democrat. He fits right in.<\/p>\n

If he wins the nomination, he\u2019ll probably lose the election. Even if he doesn\u2019t, there\u2019s a good chance this incompetent, failed politician will cause the breakup and eventual collapse of the Republican party when the conservative wing decides enough is enough and forms a Third party. If\/when that happens you can expect a lot of members in Congress will bolt to it and more importantly, so will a large number of big donors.<\/p>\n

I still haven\u2019t decided who I\u2019m voting for, but I am NOT voting for this fraud!<\/p>\n

Mittens Obamney, Stuck on Stupid!<\/p>\n
