He wouldn’t even have had to veto it because it probably wouldn’t have come to his desk.

I am sure many of Gary Johnson’s public policy positions have merit and look forward to hearing them proposed and considered. His candidacy for any position higher than Mayor of Albuquerque at this point in time would seem to be the act of a fool, or worse.

As a commentator on an otherwise conservative blog, your incessant and unhinged advocacy of pissing on your own voting rights by selecting Gary Johnson for President only identifies you as a bigger fool than Gary Johnson. Growing up would be more constructive…give it some thought.

The fact that Romney invented Obamacare politically—he opened the door and made it possible in the political realm—is a HUGE deal. People like Obama and Romney don’t belong anywhere near the White House unless it’s on a tour.

…Romney has “evolved”!

Constitutional Contortions
By Mark Steyn
June 30, 2012 4:00 A.M.
Three months ago, I quoted George Jonas on the 30th anniversary of Canada’s ghastly “Charter of Rights and Freedoms”: “There seems to be an inverse relationship between written instruments of freedom, such as a Charter, and freedom itself,” wrote Jonas. “It’s as if freedom were too fragile to be put into words: If you write down your rights and freedoms, you lose them.”
(snip)
So be it. It’s down to the people now — as it should be. But, meanwhile, a little less deference to judges wouldn’t go amiss. The U.S. Supreme Court is starting to look like Britain’s National Health Service — you wait two years to get in, and then they tell you there’s nothing wrong. And you can’t get a second opinion.

Mr. Steyn knows more about losing “freedom” than most Americans. The Canadian Gov’t legal assault on him should be a warning to we Americans too.

Given that the SCOTUS declared a monetary “penalty” to be a tax, I guess
now I can deduct traffic and parking tickets under “Taxes other.”

Got fined by the EPA, FTC, FCC, SEC … deduct it .. they are now taxes
Got a penalty for early withdraw of 401(k) funds … deduct it .. they are now taxes

Watch the talking head shows this morning. I can almost guarantee those on the right will be repeatedly pushing the “Obamacare is a tax increase” narrative.

You know what’s great? To any Leftie, or thickheaded Rightie who says that Roberts’ ruling has no authority: guess what? It’s now 51 votes in the Senate to repeal 0bamessiahCare, children, not 60, and if you don’t like it, go ask Roberts, I think he knows! :)

Gary Johnson. And he spams thread after thread trying to convince people that he’s one of the most well-known and well-respected former governors to come down the pike in a long time.

can’t say it enough times…renalin is a truth-teller!

What did you say again? I think we missed it the second, third, fourth, and fifth times!

Why is it that unhappy, negative, and destructive people like you so often believe you’re more stable, mature, healthy, and productive than people who aren’t like you?

You do make us laugh, though, after we’ve gotten done rolling our eyes at you! :)

See, this is why it’s so hard to talk politics with you. You’re obsessed with Romney on an unhealthy level. (Are you thinking that Ron Paul might get the nomination, still? God, help us.)

Mitt Romney was a state governor, in a very liberal state. First, it is valid to say that states may “experiment” with governing methodologies–it’s built into the Constitution. Secondly, what kind of conservative paradise were you thinking Romney would make out of Massachusetts? WWRPD?

Grow up, Float.

I don’t understand why there isn’t a bigger narrative from the GOP that ObamaCare got struck down and that the Supreme Court converted it to ObamaTax after the fact. That ObamaCare would never have passed if it was defined as ObamaTax. The main point being that the original ObamaCare with the mandate is no more.

It’s coming. I guarantee you it’s coming.

Without question. There are crappy leaders all over the world, it can always get worse, a lot worse. Hope-n-Change is still just as dangerous as it ever was, it doesn’t matter what letter is next to the name. More than once in history sheople have run away from one danger and rushed headlong into one even greater.

The fact that Romney invented Obamacare politically—he opened the door and made it possible in the political realm—is a HUGE deal. People like Obama and Romney don’t belong anywhere near the White House unless it’s on a tour.

If Gary Johnson had been governor in Mass instead of Romney, Romneycare never would have come to pass. He wouldn’t even have had to veto it because it probably wouldn’t have come to his desk.

stop making love to Gary Johnson.

He’s a fool, I’ve seen him live.
