Just in case anyone is still wondering about Romney and Obamacare. By the way, good ole boy Norm is a lobbyist now, after he lost to Franken, he went off and did what almost all of them do. I am still trying fo find which Healthcare Companies he is representing. My hunch, Big Pharma.
Mitt Romney adviser Norm Coleman, a former senator from Minnesota, predicted the GOP won’t repeal the Democrats’ healthcare reform law even if a Republican candidate defeats President Obama this November.
“You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president,” Coleman told BioCentury This Week television in an interview that aired on Sunday. “You can’t whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what’s been done.” Video Here

Hot Air Update:
Erick Erickson says this would be the end of the GOP:
In fact, the entrenched legislative bureaucracy has a great deal to do with congressional disapproval in the public. Republican staffers want to inch the ball down the field instead of fighting. Democrat staffers are far more aggressive.
If a Republican gets into the White House and does not sweat blood trying to repeal Obamacare in its entirety (regardless of success), I predict the end of the Republican Party legitimately. It won’t be worth fighting for if the party itself does not think it worth fighting for its voters. If the GOP takes back the White House, it’s voters will expect a real fight, not a half-hearted attempt.

When the new House of Representatives was elected in 2010, some of my conservative friends got all excited: “Now we can get ObamaCare repealed.” Didn’t happen!
Once a government program is in, it isn’t usually repealed. In fact, the opposite usually happens: more growth of that program. **sigh**

i have been trying to find the Sebelius clip, where on the Stewart show, she opines that even if the mandate gets overturned by the Supremes, there are methods to continue as is.

This is why I hate the GOP. Making future plans to piss off conservatives…

The long vide,o which is the reason I excluded from posting, shows his total disregard for what we are fighting for. Farnkly, I do not trust Romney. But then, it is only the matter of degree in comparison to others.
