again you lie. the STATE implimented health plan romney implimented is NOT the ACA. ACA is thousands and THOUSANDS of pages more regulations and rediculousness. Let me make this simple anaology again. To compare the two is like calling a mosquito a plane because they both fly.knothead wrote:Mr. Markle has got himself all bound up over what he, and many others, describe as LIES by our President. Governor Romney appeared on "Meet the Press" this past Sunday and was hammering the same message "OBAMA LIES" and there seems to be some basis to the charge unless you look a bit closer to the facts. During the Presidential campaign the ACA was debated over and over with Mr. Romney campaigning on the trail but you know what? He NEVER called the assertions that President Obama was making about "if you like your plan - you can keep it" regarding the ACA as being dishonest or deceitful, never that I recall and I mean never. Why does it matter? Well to call Obama a LIAR we must assume that he knew it untruthful when the statement was made, right? Of course . . . . and we also know that if Romney believed that his opponent was, in fact, lying then is there any question that he would have gone on the attack and began calling him a liar DURING the campaign, right?
My point is simply that if you choose to label Obama a liar then have at it but personally I just don't believe that to be the case. Wrong, absolutely! LYING . . . . hell no! How can we be expected to believe that Obama was purposefully lying while at the same time believe that Romney (who implemented the same health care in MA and knew its vagaries) stood silently on the sideline and kept his mouth shut?
Go figure . . .
