Mrs. Clinton promised to cover everyone without big new bureaucracies, without a complicated reorganization of one-seventh of the American economy and without affecting Americans who are insured and happy with their coverage--all features that helped doom the Clinton [Bill] administration's plan 14 years ago.Maybe. Hey, it's worth a look, anyway. You can read about the plan here. David Brooks, for one, is impressed with what he sees, stating:
"Hillary Clinton's health care plan is a huge step forward from 1993. It's better than the G.O.P. candidates' plans (which don't exist).But one person who is against the plan, even though he hasn't read it, is Mitt Romney. Watch as he stumbles through the following set piece yesterday. He cannot engage any of the specifics of the plan because he hasn't bothered to look at it. It's really a shameful display of how some politicians rely on buzzwords and tried and true talking points over substance.
Do most Americans really care whether their health care is administered by their state government as opposed to the federal one? And why should residents of Mississippi suffer while those in California enjoy universal care?

Your comment is ridiculous and without merit or substance, hardly worthy a response...but I could not resist pointing out what moronic comment you made about Romney. If you were smart enough to research Romney's history you would discover his qualifications far exceed all of the candidates running for President.

17. How can anyone believe such a person whose whose life is based on a falsehood? Before you back such a candidate you should read *Mormonism - Shadow or Reality*. Do a little dogpile search and you'll find many references. I, for one, do not want such a person ruining my beloved country.
Wake up America!

Stop your illinform comments about our church(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)if you haven't been taught the truth about us.Criticisms of a particular Religion is not the work of the Spirit of God but rather the influence of Satan.America was founded basis on the freedom of many Religion and not a specific group.Sorry your understanding of Freedom of Religion in America is very limited.

19. Mitt Romney gave one of the greatest Political Speech of our time.This candidate I would encourage Americans to consider and put aside Religion differences instead unite behind Mitt Romney.He remind us all of the importance of Faith in our country with its'application to our daily lives.Few may have some doubts but God in Heaven gives us the answer to our prayers according to our faith in him.With God nothing is impossible and with God we will be bless with Romneys leadership.

20. I watched the Republican presidential candidates debate from Des Moine Iowa yesterday on Fox News channel and I like Mitt Romneys'performance as he always does in each GOP debate.He is smart and gave the right answer to each questions.He is definitely competitive for the nomination and can cause an upset in the general election next November.

21. Huckabee really have serious issues that the people of America(voters)need some serious answers and true explanation of his action while governor of Arkansas.The Sherrif need to check any passing by vehicle cited for an illegal move by the driver.There are stories flying around infront of our very own eyes of his dealing with a Rapist,his remarks about Aids victims and his Tax policies that weren't very conservatives.I don't want to be among fools that let this guy slip under our nose without a real check.This looks more like a dirty move by the Huckabee committee and his campaign.Look people be honest and give us a lamb without blemish not an uncircumcise one ok,especially his being a candidate runs on Gods' ticket.
