Let me try this one. Jimi I think it means that the health care package proposed by Mitt Romney will allow a woman to decide whether or not to terminate a pregnancy and the one proposed by Barack Obama would not. This doesn't seem to be too difficult to understand. Are you "challenged'?
Romneycare is something Romney has been trying to distinguish from "Obamacare," but he has not done a very good job of it. Romney is a creature of expediency. When he thought that Massachusetts voters would support Romneycare, he gave it to them. Now that the right wing propaganda machine has defamed "Obamacare," and the majority of Republican voters don't want it, he is weaseling and crawfishing in all kinds of ways to try to create distinctions between Romneycare and "Obamacare" such that his objections to the latter do not appear hypocritical. Lotsaluck, Mitt--intelligent voters can see through the silly rationales you are attempting to foist on them.
That is due to the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits any federal monies from being used for abortions, first added to medical care funding bills in 1976 and every year since.

This one is easy upsida,
Romneycare is legal, Obamacare is not. I'm not saying Romneycare is a good thing and I'm
not saying Obamacare is a good thing either. Obamacare is just plain un-Constitutional. In the
Constitution of the United States of America it gives the Federal Gov't certain enumerated
powers. In Article One Section Eight it does not give the Federal Gov't any authority to impose
a mandatory requirement for citizens to have health care insurance. Again the Constitution is
ignored by the socialists.

Not all that easy, Skippy. First off, it occurs to me that you are NOT the Supreme Court of this nation; the U.S. Supreme Court is, however. Do not be overconfident as to how that court will rule on this issue. The same argument you make against national health insurance could have been made concerning Social Security, the official name of which is the "Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Program, which pays benefits from the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund"
So-o, Skippy, in Social Security we have an insurance program that is mandatory upon all--or virtually all (there are exceptions, as for the Amish)--workers and that mandatory insurance program has not been struck down by any federal court and is not going to be. I think that the "Obamacare" program, another federal insurance program, has a pretty good chance for validation by the U.S. Supreme Court. I might be wrong, but I am not oozing the kind of overconfidence you seem so comfortable with. Think about it.

The Courts are not supposed to make law, they are supposed to inforce the law. The Supreme
Court is wrong. The Constitution no where gives anywhere in the Fed. Gov't's enumerated
powers the right to create Social Security let alone Obamacare. Artical One Section Eight.
Read it. You'll be enlightened. On the other hand never mind I doubt you can understand
what freedom is.The Socialist courts have been making it up as they go.
I guess the unions and certain states will be like the Amish and won't have to play in the
Obamacare Game. Hopefully we kick you guys out of power soon. God Bless America.

BELMONT, MA—Though Mitt Romney is considered to be a frontrunner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, the national spotlight has forced him to repeatedly confront a major skeleton in his political closet: that as governor of Massachusetts he once tried to help poor, uninsured sick people.
Romney, who signed the state's 2006 health care reform act, has said he "deeply regrets" giving people in poor physical and mental health the opportunity to seek medical attention, admitting that helping very sick people get better remains a dark cloud hovering over his political career, and his biggest obstacle to becoming president of the United States of America.
"Every day I am haunted by the fact that I gave impoverished Massachusetts citizens a chance to receive health care," Romney told reporters Wednesday, adding that he feels ashamed whenever he looks back at how he forged bipartisan support to help uninsured Americans afford medicine to cure their illnesses. "I'm only human, and I've made mistakes. None bigger, of course, than helping cancer patients receive chemotherapy treatments and making sure that those suffering from pediatric AIDS could obtain medications, but that's my cross to bear."
"My hope is that Republican voters will one day forgive me for making it easier for sick people—especially low-income sick people—to go to the hospital and see a doctor," Romney added. "It was wrong, and I'm sorry."
Oops, double post.

Hey Dork,
any fool that can read and will. Can read in the Constitution Artical One Section Eight.
The Enumerated powers of the US Federal Gov't. Nothing in this gives the Federal Gov't
the power to force anyone to purchase health insurance or pay in to SS as far as that goes.
If you find that invisable power please, tell us which clause. It's not there. If you want an
Amendment go thru the process. Please show me.

It will never be there without an Amendment to the Constitution. If you ever read
it you would know. Hopefully the Supreme Court will not do as the lower courts
continue to do, make up law as the go. I'm still waiting for the Artical, Section and

it, and your too lazy to look it up, plus you won't look it up because your afraid I'm
right. Don't need to be a law school graduate to understand this.

Yes, when are you going to seek the psychiatric help that you so desperately need?
Quoting the Constitution is NOT the same as understanding it.
Skippy, you're wasting your time arguing with that clown jimi. All you will get from him are one liners that usually make no sense. He lacks the intelligence needed to make a valid argument about anything.

And calling me a clown is a valid argument? In what universe?Perhaps, the one in which an avatar that borders on treason is an admirable thing? You might want to change "Fail" to "Mission Accomplished"!
