re: #97 KingKenrod

I think Loesch is saying RomneyCare was constitutional, but still a bad idea because it is a socialistic solution. That’s how I read it. The reference to “federalism” arguments refers to supporters of RomneyCare arguing that the state mandate is a legitimate exercise of state power (thus an “excuse” for it).

The quote:

I like Romney’s ‘pay your own way’ approach to healthcare. Now the debate is starting to sound like an exercise in conservatism. First time all night.

That sure doesn’t sound like she was calling it a “bad idea.”
