14. I guess that helps explain Romney's position on Romneycare vs. Obamacare

Sure, the ACA draws a lot from the Massachusetts plan, but Romney retroactively resigned as governor once he decided he didn't like the Obama plan.

Of course, if he should somehow win the election this fall, he'll have to retroactively resign during his 2016 re-election campaign.

ok... That's pretty damn funny. . .kick . .n/t annabanana Jul 2012 #1
