The Problem Mitt Romney is Having with Conservatives is that He Is Mitt Romney

The problem Mitt Romney is having with conservatives is that he is Mitt Romney. You see most people know when someone is spinning and when it comes to health care, AKA Obamacare, Romney is spinning like a washing machine. Most people also know that if his own Romneycare program in his state of Massachusetts had been successful he would be out there taking credit for it, but alas, it is helping to bankrupt the state.

Sure, Romney has his supporters like Glenn Beck who try to use the Romney campaign line about how "Mitt sees it as a states rights issue" and how "each state should be able to make its own decision and not have the Federal Government force it on them". A message they hope will connect with conservatives on two fronts, states rights and health care. Again though, they have big issues like convincing people that Romney, even if we take him at is word, doesn't support government run health care. His own bill when he was governor speaks louder than anything anyone can say. The government option is the basis for Romneycare and he knows it, only in his bill it is state government, not the federal government doing it.

Government run health care is not a popular concept with the American public and Romney knows it but he still wants to be president so he simply is trying to sidestep the obvious. Romney can not claim he does not support government run health care because he did it as governor. How the race will shake out I do not know, but I do know this. At some point Romney will need to give straight answers before he gets the conservative vote he needs so badly.
