Medicare Part D was neither conservative, nor sustainable. None of these entitlement schemes are actuarially sustainable. The GOP would have never supported it if Bush weren't POTUS. Likewise, the real conservatives in the GOP balked at TARP - until Bush's SecTreas arm-locked them into voting for it on the second try.<br /><br /><br />The real appeal to Romney for the coastal GOP is that he has the required pedigree papers - Harvard. Everyone else in the race either is missing the pedigree, or they have the bald-faced nerve to think that such pedigrees aren't important (eg, Palin).<br /><br />We've had four presidents now with such pedigree papers, the entire SCOTUS is locked up by Harvard and Yale graduates, etc. These people are parasites, eating on the marrow of our nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24946391004912020042011-11-20T13:20:25.098-05:002011-11-20T13:20:25.098-05:00The only difference between Romney and Obama is th...The only difference between Romney and Obama is that if Romney was president, the Republicans in congress would happily go along with whatever wealth redistribution, gun ban, socialized medicine, or left-wing justices that he decided to push.
