THE PARTY OF STUPID STRIKES AGAIN

Mitten$ has an ambivalent relationship with RomneyCare but he did go so far as to eliminate his praise of it in his book No Apology: The Case for American Greatness. Unfortunately, the RNC gift bag contains the earlier, uncorrected version:

RNC gift bag book touts health care mandates ‘for everyone in the country’

The Raw Story

It’s a passage that Romney had edited out of his book “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness,” which RNC-goers are being given this year. Problem is, the RNC is handing out Romney’s original text, from back when he actually wasn’t apologizing for what he once considered to be his greatest accomplishment as Massachusetts governor.

The slip-up was first spotted by Washington Examiner writer Philip Klein, who noted that page 177 of the candidate’s book says, “We can accomplish the same thing [universal health care] for everyone in the country, and it can be done without letting government take over health care.” The edited version claims Romney’s health care mandate “was done without government taking over health care.”
