Obamacare's Roots Are Deep Within the GOP: Santorum Lies About Obamacare Blaming it Just on Mitt Romney

Does Mitt Romney have a part in the Obamacare equation? Absolutely! Romney ran the Obamacare pilot program in Massachusetts.

Is Romney totally responsible for Obamacare? Well according to a profanity laced tirade by St. Rick who used the word "bull shit" in one of his rants this weekend, Santorum wants to tell a lie and not point the blame where the blame is deserved.

You see Rick Santorum was part of the problem. In 1993, Bill Clinton took office and gave Hillary Clinton the role of coming up with a government run healthcare system. Rather than look to the Constitution and limited government, Republicans worked with the Heritage Foundation to come up with an alternative way to offer government run healthcare. The GOP and the Heritage Foundation drafted what would become Romneycare. Now we don't know how much input the Representative Santorum had in this matter, but he was in the House at the time the Republican alternative was debated in the House. He should know the origins go farther back than just Mitt for Brains in Massachusetts.

In fact, the idea of a federal mandate for healthcare goes back even a little further to Richard Nixon. Nixon's plan would have forced all employers to cover their employees.

So just a reminder, Obamacare has its roots in the Republican Party. I will agree with Santorum on one thing--Romney is the worst possible choice. “Pick any other Republican in the country. He is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama,” Santorum said.
