Romney Says He Supports Popular Obamacare Provisions On NBC, Quietly Reverses Hours Later On Conservative WebsiteJust hours later, his campaign quietly told a conservative website that he actually opposes those provisions of Obamacare:
In reference to how Romney would deal with those with preexisting conditions and young adults who want to remain on their parents plans, a Romney aide responded that there had been no change in Romneys position and that in a competitive environment, the marketplace will make available plans that include coverage for what there is demand for. He was not proposing a federal mandate to require insurance plans to offer those particular features.

I mean, some of the crap people are saying, and that includes trying to knock Obama, in defense of this clown is beyond absurd.

(10,857 posts)Yassir Arafat was pretty famous for reading one speech that said one thing in English, then addressing the Palestinians in Arabic and saying different things... or reminding his audience about the hall pass Allah gives for lying to infidels.
Romney can do something similar, saying one thing to a mass audience and then reversing himself on the AM dial where no sane person ever goes.
And... he can lie to both audiences! Mitt Romney has discovered a way to float multiple contradictory lies at practically the same time. He is the most audacious liar ever.
But... he's certainly not the best liar ever.

(10,021 posts)President - why? Didn't he already say he only wanted it for a year? Remember that 3 trillion dollars that the Pentagon "lost" and the 8 billion on pallets over in Iraq that was "pilfered", all under the Bush administration? Didn't Rmoney say he would give the Pentagon another 3 trillion dollars even tho they have said they don't need it? Money is everything to this guy. I'm thinking he wants to bring back the Bush administration but not exactly for Bush's policies. Get my drift? No one ever questioned or found the 3 trillion and no one seems to give a shit - on both sides I might add. Rmoney already has the off-shore secret accounts in place so.......

(2,785 posts)to interpret Rmoney latest flip flop. He would keep the Pre-Existing condition laws, but allow insurers to have separate plans for those with pre-existing conditions. Thus make their plan unaffordable for most people with such illnesses.

So sick of hearing RMoney squirm his way through press interviews. It's gotta be really hard to keep all that lying straight!
