Romney: Women should support me because of ‘Romneycare’

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says that women should support him because of a health insurance law he passed as the governor of Massachusetts — even though he has promised to repeal a similar law passed by President Barack Obama.

During an interview that aired on Sunday, Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Romney why women should vote for him after a fellow Republican, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), suggested that women could not get pregnant from “legitimate rape.”

“Look, I am the guy that was able to get health care for all of the women — and men — in my state,” the former Massachusetts governor explained. “There was talking about it at the federal level. We did something.”

A couple of weeks ago she wanted Andrea Saul's head to roll for making a similar comment in defense of Romneycare.

Clearly it was no accident because now Mitt is using the same talking point. He's running on Romneycare and against "socialist Obamacare" at the same time.

I'm confused

a very common ailment among politician, Mittens has shown a particularly advanced and severe stage of this syndrome, manifested in being often completely unaware he is contradicting himself by criticizing his opponent for policy positions that he if fact actually enacted and supported and then using his support of those polices to bolster his own candidacy over his opponent.
