ROMNEYCARE IMMUNIZES ROMNEY FROM MEDISCARE AND MAKES HIM THE BEST CANDIDATE TO ATTACK OBAMACARE: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS POLITICO AND HOT AIR BY 3 MONTHS

GOLDMAN AND BOZELL IN POLITICO TODAY - VIA HOT AIR:

The central tenet of the “Anybody-But-Romney” conservative theology is this article of faith: Nominating the former Massachusetts governor will take away the Republican Party’s best 2012 issue — because “Romneycare” is so like “Obamacare.” ABR true believers lump the two plans together, with the epithet “Obamneycare.”

This conservative faith is wrong, however. To the extent that attacks on President Barack Obama’s health care reform are good politics, the candidate best able to make them is Mitt Romney.

Since he orchestrated and then signed the Massachusetts health care law, Romney is uniquely qualified to lead the GOP attacks against the federal health care reform bill. 

Why? He would be the first GOP nominee in nearly 50 years with a proven track record on health care who has been praised by Democrats — including the president — as fair and compassionate. He can’t be demonized as an out-of-touch, uncompassionate, hard-right ideologue on this issue.

TAB 1/28/12:

• I THINK ROMNEYCARE IMMUNIZES ROMNEY FROM MEDISCARE TACTICS AND MAKES HIM THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CANDIDATE TO APPEAL TO CENTRISTS; MODERATES; AND INDEPENDENTS WHO MIGH OTHERWISE BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO SCARE TACTICS ON HEALTHCARE ISSUES.

• BECAUSE OF ROMNEYCARE, WHEN MITT SAYS HE WILL REPEAL OBAMACARE HE CANNOT BE PIGEON-HOLED BY THE LEFT AS AN UNCARING RETHUGLICAN WHO WANTS POOR PROPLE TO GET SICK AND DIE

TAB 1/31/12:

ROMNEYCARE DOESN'T "TAKE OBAMACARE OFF THE TABLE" AT ALL. 

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT ROMENYCARE TAKES OFF THE TABLE: "MEDISCARE". 

ROMNEYCARE IMMUNIZES MITT FROM THE TYPICAL AND TYPICALLY SUCCESSFUL ATTACKS DEMOCRATS WAGE AGAINST REPUBLICANS: THAT REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT HEALTHCARE FOR THE AGED AND POOR.

TAB 3/3/12:

ROMNEYCARE IMMUNIZES MITT FROM MEDISCARE 

THE NEWTNIKS AND PAULNUTS AND SANTORUMANIACS SAY ROMNEYCARE TAKES OBAMACARE OFF THE TABLE AND THEREFORE WEAKENS THE GOP AGAINST OBAMA. 

WRONG. 

IT MAKES MITT IMMUNE FROM THE COUNTER-ATTACK THE DEMS ALWAYS USE CALLED MEDISCARE.
