1993 - co-sponsored by 18 republicans including Bob Dole - individual mandate
2006 - Romneycare in Massachusetts (you know, that thing he had to pretend never happened) - individual mandate
2010 - Obamacare (most of which doesn't start until 2014) - individual mandate
Once again... and somehow, Obama is the radical socialist communist marxist  |
Many Republican's aren't really conservatives. It's a different side of the same coin.
No true conservative supported Bush creating the Dept. of Homeland Security, TSA, Medicare Part D or doubling the size of the Dept of Education.
Both these parties are statist and it's more like fascism than socialism.
