Romney’s Big Healthcare Lie
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | January 26th at 10:00 PM |
Almost a full year into the presidential campaign, Romney finally received a full-fledged beatdown for his mendacity over healthcare. He has the nerve to feign outrage over Obamacare, even while he touts Romneycare – a carbon copy of Obamacare – as a virtuous success, supported by 90% of Massachusetts residents. Santorum did his homework, and called him out on the hypocrisy. Romney was never able | Read More »
Healthcare Doesn’t Need European Style Austerity Measures; It Needs Free-Market

“If our goal is to be shielded from any cost of healthcare, we will ultimately be exposed to all costs of healthcare.” Nothing typifies the inane cycle of government dependency and poverty more than the issue of healthcare. Given that healthcare constitutes 18% of our economy and that millions of Americans are languishing under its crushing costs, it is important that we articulate healthcare reform | Read More »

“Romney’s career as a venture socialist governor is what should concern us; not his career as a venture capitalist in the private sector.” At this point, residents of South Carolina are already getting tired of those TV ads and documentaries detailing the destruction wrought by Romneycare.

Romney Fundamentally Lacks Conservative Principles on Healthcare…Or Anything Else
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | December 28th at 10:49 AM |
“His only contribution to the party has been his five-year interminable presidential campaign, despite his insistence that he never intended to run for office again after 2008.” When Mitt Romney was seeking the Republican nomination in 2008, he deflected criticism of Romneycare by blaming its disastrous effects on the liberal legislature in Massachusetts. That was four years ago, when Romney was attempting to win the | Read More »
Mitt Romney: Leader of the Pale Pastel Wing of Party
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | December 12th at 10:30 AM |
During Saturday night’s GOP debate, Mitt Romney demonstrated once again why he is failing to gain traction with the conservative base. He continues to muddle the distinction between Obama’s policies and true free-market doctrine. Romney consistently invokes progressive policy doctrines, while tempering them with banal flavors of conservatism. We must remember that every time a candidate failed to draw a sharp intellectual distinction between himself | Read More »

Does government have the right to take over the healthcare sector, thereby infringing on liberty, killing jobs, reducing income, destroying investment, and driving up costs to consumers?
