Pawlenty tries to spin debate fail with renewed attack on Romneycare
byJed Lewison
After Tim Pawlenty's sackless performance on Monday night during which he refused to defend his previous day's attack on "Obamneycare," his latest tweet is hilariously lame:
If Pawlenty really believed this nonsense, he'd have said so on Monday. But, like Mitt Romney, Pawlenty doesn't believe a word of the horse crap he's been spewing on the campaign trail.
And, by the way, if Pawlenty wants to compare his record on health care reform with Romney, he should look no further than these numbers: in 2002, the year before Pawlenty took office, 7.4% of Minnesotans lacked insurance. In 2009, 8.8% did. Meanwhile, in 2002, 9.5% of Massachusetts residents lacked insurance. In 2009, just 4.4% did.
So Minnesota went from having fewer uninsured residents than Massachusetts to having twice as many. That's not the "right way." It's the "wrong way." And it's too bad Mitt Romney no longer agrees.
