"I say we're going to replace Obamacare. And I'm replacing it with my own plan," Romney said. "And even in Massachusetts when I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who promised early in his campaign to repeal President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, says he would keep several important parts of the overhaul. "Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place," he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Most polls don't ask enough questions to get a nuanced view of the opposition to Obamacare, but I've seen one poll with an array of sub-questions that showed that a sizeable minority of the opposition came from the left. Ie: people who were against it because it's not single-payer, and doesn't eliminate private insurance companies. Do those people hate Obamacare? Or are they just disappointed in it? All we really know is that about 55% of the population opposes it. I've been meaning to ask since you've started posting: are you actually affiliated with Politifact? Or just an admirer of their work, like myself? Some feedback: the "Pants on Fire" avatar image makes all of your posts look like they're disagreeing in very strong terms with whatever you're responding to.

Sorry, by 'everyone' I was purposely omitting all the clinically diagnosed mental retards out there. My bad. Romney Is Only Going To Win Because Obama Fucked Up Thanks for clearing that up. No one wants to be misquoted. I also clarified my point for you. Everyone meaning, the electorate.
