Alternative Universe- President Mitt Romney's Health Care Bill

I noted this very critical piece RomneyCare vs. ObamaCare - yes it's the same. today.

I don't really want to get if it is the same or if RomneyCare is good or bad. I want to examine the politics of this and the strange stuff that went on in the past Republican Primary.

Some of the strong public voices against Obamacare are Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh that lead host of other conservative organizations and pundits. However these same organizations were the biggest supporters of Romney and served as attack dogs that never let up on McCain and Huckabee.

Does anyone find this strange?

The whole GOP primary was a strange affair and one wonders what behind the scenes deals were cut. The mainstream media were too busy watching the Obama and Hillary show to take notice that they maybe should be asking those questions.

Mitt Romney passed a "Universal Statewide" health care bill that was the centerpiece of his administration and yet there seemed to be a almost a concerted effort by his supporters not to talk about it.

Now there are reasons that McCain was attacked of course in such a nonstop fashion. His mortal sin was campaign finance reform that pretty much threatened a ton of conservative power brokers in D.C. I was against Campaign Finance Reform on Const grounds but have no doubt that was not some of the so called "grassroots" organizations main concern. McCain had to be finished off.

But why was Romney picked and further why the well funded attacks on Huckabee when he was just an asterisk in the polls.

I am convinced that the Conservative establishment from National Review on down knew that they were going to have to make a deal on Health Care. In other words a solution and a compromise would have to be made. Romney was their man to do it.

It is interesting to ponder how a President Romney would have handled the health care bill issue. I was not a Romney supporter but needless to say pro-life concerns would have been a lot better protected.

What would have the conservative forces that were Romney's biggest backers gone along with?

Did the Catholic groups that want Universal Health Care sort of back the wrong man. Could they have gotten a better deal with Romney on many issues? The one man that might know is not talking .That is former Catholic Romney backer then Obama Catholic front man and now Ambassador to Malta Doug Kmiec.

Mitt Romney ,that was proclaimed the future of the GOP by the conservative organizations at the famous post election CPAC meeting, has been very very quiet during this debate.
