Romney Says House GOP Is Doing It Wrong On Obamacare (endorses Manchin approach)

[DonViejo]

TOM KLUDT – SEPTEMBER 27, 2013, 2:35 PM EDT

Mitt Romney said Friday that he disagrees "tactically" with Republicans in Washington who are using the threat of a government shutdown to bolster their effort to defund Obamacare.

"We're more effective tactically not to use a shutdown of some kind to pursue the ... anti-Obamacare objective. I don't think that will be as effective," the 2012 GOP presidential nominee told CNN.

Romney said it would be more practical to seek a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act.

"I think there's a better way of getting rid of Obamacare - my own view - and that is, one, delaying it by at least a year. That was Senator (Joe) Manchin's idea, the Democrats' idea," Romney said.

7. No wonder the Republicans were so lukewarm on him

His fellow Republicans are doing it the only way they know how.

If it's not "Mitt Romney Style," so be it. That's not his fault.

If he can't figure that out, that IS his fault.

8. However - he spoke the truth of the delay one year plan --- the goal is to kill it entirely

Nice to have Romney's statement to point to for anyone who thinks that their is even a hint of a good faith effort to improve it.

[DFW]

9. I think the expressions "good faith" and "Republican" don't belong in the same sentence.

Except as examples of antonyms, that is.

10. On that I can't disagree - though sometimes they manage to hide their intentions well enough to

confuse some.
