Yup, agreed. Very disappointed.
While there's a lot to like about Ron Paul, the problem with him is he's a "no regulation" guy. I'm not sure what chance most of us would have against energy companies, for example, without regulation. What if your home electricity bill tripled tomorrow... what are you going to do, not pay it?
I didn't like the mandate either... I would have been fine with it if there was a "public option" so we weren't forced to do business with huge private companies, but without the "public option" (another Obama cave -- and he caved before he even HAD to on that, suggesting he never intended to try for it) I agree the mandate is intolerable.
As for Romney... he'd just me more of the same, if we're lucky. If we're unlucky, he'd be a Mormon sleeper plant with all kinds of nasty social implications. lol
