No - the enemy is publicly funded health care, whether it be Newtcare, Obamacare or Romneycare.
I get very sick of people saying in the GOP "Our number one goal is beating Obama".
Really? That's the goal for your whole political party? When you're playing a sport, the only thing that matters is beating the other team. When the two worst teams meet in competition, someone still comes out a winner, even if by one point. So if the main goal of the GOP is to beat Obama, they have already lost and deserve to get tossed into the dustbin of history.
I could probably think of about 10 things they could make their most important goal. How about making ending the income tax the most importation thing for the GOP? How about balancing the budget and running surpluses to pay off the debt? How about lessening the burden on taxpayers and businesses so the economy can get back moving? If replacing Obama with a white, Mormon Obama is the main goal of the Republican Party, they should just turn out the lights and go home.
"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." ~ John Stuart Mill
