Funny, Romney participated a lot more in the creation of RomneyCare, and there was very little backlash at all.

Only political junkies knew anything at all about RomneyCare in Massachusetts since it didn't have any effect at all on the other 49 states. It was totally irrelevant to those living in all other states than Massachusetts. Obamacare effected all 50. Huge difference.

Your average American Joe knew nothing about Romneycare and if they did, they could care less because it had no effect on them. I would wager 90% of all Americans at the time didn't even know what it was outside of Massachusetts. Those that did were the highly political active and very heavily in politics and campaigns.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
