The conservatives have been strangely quiet on this. I'm sure Willow will be in any moment now with some profane post that will be undoubtedly moronic.

I assume you mean USMB conservatives. Because the responses from the rightwingers with actual microphones (like Erickson) have been fucking hilarious. Rush was apoplectic:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJDlro9_KJk]Rush Attacks Romney Campaign Over Mass. Law Defense - YouTube[/ame]
Twice in the last 24 hours, Romney press secretary Andrea Saul noted that Joe Soptic, a man featured in a Democratic attack ad suggesting his wifes cancer went undiagnosed because he lost his insurance, would have been able to purchase coverage under Romneys Massachusetts law.
To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Gov. Romneys health care plan, they would have had health care, Saul said Tuesday. On Wednesday, she repeated the point: If people had been in Massachusetts under Gov. Romneys health care plan they wouldve had health care. There a lot of people losing their jobs and losing their health care in President Obamas economy, and that is why Gov. Romney is running: to get people back to work.
Romney Highlights MA Health Care Reforms Hes Sworn Never To Implement | TPM2012
The background here is a new Priorities USA ad, which tells the story of a man, Joe Soptic, who lost his job and thus his health insurance after Bain bought out his plant. Years later his wife died what may have been a preventable death of cancer.
His particular story doesnt perfectly illustrate the problems with the countrys safety net. But far from suggesting Romney killed anybody (as his outraged supporters claim) it neatly exposes an enduring source of middle class uncertainty. If you get very sick almost anywhere in America, and then your employer goes out of business, or lays you off, youre already running out of options. Romneycare fixed this problem in Massachusetts. Obamacare is designed to fix it for the rest of the country.
Enter the Romney campaign, which notes quite correctly that Romneys mandated, subsidized health care system might have saved Soptics wife if shed lived in Massachusetts. But if thats such a good thing, then unless President Romneys going to recommend that all sick and laid off people move to New England, his pledge to repeal Obamacare just falls apart.

You really think Romney care and Obama care are the same? You aren't allowed to vote right?
Key Differences Between RomneyCare and ObamaCare | Race 4 2012
I read your little link there. The so-called "differences" are bullcrap. They're still basically the same thing.
But hey, let the Mittster try and spin it if he wants.
Erick Erickson's reaction over at RedState was somewhat enjoyable.
The Moment All the Doubts About Romney Resurfaced on the Right | RedState
Priorities USA was damaging itself and Barack Obama over its mind numbingly insane ad painting Mitt Romney as a killer.
Then the Romney campaign decided to sabotage itself with a mind numbingly bit of spin that may mark the day the Romney campaign died.
Defending Romney and combatting the ad, Romney spokesman Andrea Saul . . . lets go to the quotes:
To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romneys health care plan, they would have had health care, Andrea Saul, Romneys campaign press secretary, said during an appearance on Fox News. There are a lot of people losing their jobs and losing their health care in President [Barack] Obamas economy.
Conservatives have put aside their distrust of Romney on this issue in the name of beating Barack Obama. They thought he and his campaign team had gotten the message and the hints. Consider the scab picked, the wound opened, and the distrust trickling out again.
About the only thing more stupid in terms of building bridges with the right would be to say something nice about fetal stem cell research.
Start your watches for that one!
they are identical.

If those are the most significant 'key differences' (well, and the abortion coverage in MA), then it can be said unequivocally that Romneycare and Obama care are virtually identical.You really think Romney care and Obama care are the same? You aren't allowed to vote right?

and here's the problem. The Conservatives have ALWAYS said they wanted something like Obama/RomneyCare as opposed to a single payer system like Canada or any sensible country would do it.
Once the Public Option was removed from Obama's proposal, it effectively became RomneyCare.
Which should have been fine. IN a sane political world, Romney could have taken his bows and be seen as a visionary.
Too bad we aren't living in one of those. We are living in one where Teabaggers scream, "Get your Gummit hands off my Medicare!!!" not realizing that Medicare Part C they get from a private carrier only comes from a government subsidy.
Hey, Steph... just for you.. the hammer and sickle was a nice touch.. So was the fact this teabagging chick couldn't spell "Your"
or "Government"
