He certainly never made a big deal about it. All he ever said was that it would "cost too much" - he never said that it was a gross affront to our liberty. The Insurance companies have already made their plans, assuming that it stays - they don't want the applecart upset now.<br /><br />A few other things that Romney would have done nothing about: immigration (except maybe to increase it), affirmative action, disparate impact suits brought by the DoJ, the ever-expanding police state (DHS, TSA, BATF, etc.), outsourcing of jobs and the hollowing out of American manurfacturing.<br /><br />Romney lost because he offered nothing more than the third term of GW Bush, same as McCain did.

This strategy, which ultimately stems from Jewish wealth and active engagement in the political process, has given Jews influence far beyond their numbers.</i><br />(...)<br /><i> Whereas Saban funds ultra-Zionism from the political left, the financial angel of the neocons is Bruce Kovner, a New York hedge fund billionaire who “over two decades, has underwritten the infrastructure the neocons have used to achieve their current prominence.” Kovner funds the American Enterprise Institute, the Manhattan Institute, and the New York Sun. He was also a major backer of President George W. Bush: “when George Bush’s chestnuts were in the fire [over the Iraq war], Kovner helped to pull them out. He wrote checks for $110,000 to a 527 called Softer Voices that was aimed at ‘security moms’ in swing states. Softer Voices is led by, among others, the writer Midge Decter, the wife of Norman Podhoretz, and Nina Rosenwald, a force in the pro-Israel lobby. Kovner was its largest financial backer.” (Nevertheless, as Philip Weiss notes, “the biggest money game in town on the Republican side is Sheldon Adelson, a Zionist Jew, who got engaged in 2000 with the specific aim of nullifying the ‘peace process.’”)</i><br />(...)<br /><br />As Steve is always pointing out: Something has to be done to get these guys interested in college football!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13434926285751446802012-11-08T04:11:55.126-08:002012-11-08T04:11:55.126-08:00You mean a super-rich and powerful Jewish guy didn...<i>You mean a super-rich and powerful Jewish guy didn't get his way?

I go to a concert at the beautiful Paramount in Peekskill, N.Y., and the chairman of the Paramount board is a guy named Rubin. At times it seems like Jewish money is the only game in town.
