The Supreme Court is going to shoot down the "individual mandate," so this argument is moot.

Romneycare was right for Massachusetts according to most folks who live there. It is obviously not right for every other state. Romney recognizes this now. More importantly, jobs are what matter, not healthcare. Obama's obsession with Obamacare has been a distraction from fixing the economy. Obama did not cause the Great Recession, but he has not made economic conditions better. I like Obama, but he has not helped things. This is the winning Republican argument this fall.

So you're telling me that the Republicans would want to elect a president who supported an unconstitutional mandate?

So you are saying it's ok to violate the constitution provided that it's Massachusetts? The people of MA may like the policy, but that doesn't make it right. The constitution is paramount, and that means that individual liberty takes priority.

If the people themselves sell themselves into slavery, that does not make slavery right - no one can deprive themselves of their own rights, natural rights are intrinsic, not extrinsic.

Uh, what if you work in healthcare? Obamacare and the health care mandate has resulted in many layoffs.

I want a candidate who isn't 1-1 on successfully forcing people to buy healthcare.

You're going off message. Do you want to beat Obama or hand him a massive mandate?
