PAWLENTY: The State Column reports that the Minnesota governor “took aim at President Obama’s health care law, comparing the program to drug dealing. ‘They offer you a free sample and get you hooked,’ Mr Pawlenty said. The governor, who has publicly opposed Mr. Obama’s health care law, made the remark Monday.”
Pawlenty “is expected to have veteran New Hampshire strategist Sarah Crawford in his corner as the campaign begins,” Granite Status says.
PENCE: Mike Pence said on the "TODAY" show he’s against the tax bill because he believes it “will do little to create jobs,” that it’s a “tough call” to vote against it, but it “is not going to create investment.” He wants the tax cuts made permanent and says that would be taking “a breath.”
ROMNEY: The AP looks at the tough time Romney is likely to have because of his support for a Massachusetts health-care law and an individual mandate: “Romney is finding it hard to avoid comparisons between the Massachusetts health insurance mandate he signed into law and the federal version enacted by President Barack Obama as he weighs another presidential run… Romney praised this week's ruling against the federal mandate, saying it supports his view ‘that Obamacare is an unconstitutional power grab by Washington,’ according to a statement from spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom… Yet the Massachusetts mandate is more sweeping - and penalizes the uninsured more severely -- than the federal law signed this year by Obama, the Democrat Romney would likely face in 2012 if he won the GOP presidential nomination.”
SANTORUM: “Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., one of the most upfront about his ambitions to run for president in 2012, indicated Wednesday night to members of the Quad City Tea Party that he would soon put a staffer in Iowa,” IowaPolitics.com reports.
THUNE: Political Wire notes as its quote of the day John Thune saying, "The bill is loaded up with pork projects, and it shouldn't get a vote." Why is that the quote of the day? Because “the omnibus spending bill that also happens to include his own earmarks,” Political Wire writes.

Let's see.... who is it that MSNBC is demanding that America should ridicule and HATE today ???....
OK, we get it. You going to post this over 7 or 8 times today? Should we memorize it, and save you the keystrokes?
Mormons are fools led by devils.
Mormons gave millions to their church to suppress the rights of gay people they didn't even know.
That's just pure evil.
Funny thing is, they will lose the fight in the end and all their money they gave away for nothing.
Fools. Anyways....
Heritage Foundation endorsed this plan ("Obamacare": mandated private insurance) until 2008; Hilarycare's opponents had this plan as their Congressional response in 1993; Romney does the same to conservative applause in 2006. Now what part of this plan do you think some good ole boys don't like in 2010?
If Judge Hudson strikes down individual mandates to buy insurance, he should also strike down mandates that require emergency rooms and other providers to give care to the uninsured. Give people some incentive to do purchase insurance without requiring them to do it.
No insurance, we'll gladly treat you until your credit card hits its limit. Then you can hit the bricks. We'll give you some pain meds and a cyanide pill as you are carried out the front door.
Until the insurance companies are eliminated from the system, as they have been in all other developed countries(at least for profit insurance companies) U.S. will continue to have the most expensive and in terms of the general health of citizens, least efficient system in the developed world
If Congress cannot impose an individual mandate that everyone must have health insurance, then what happens to Social Security? I believe the formal name for the collection of Social Security contributions is "Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA")." It covers Old Age and Survivors Insurance, otherwise known as "Social Security." Everyone participates in this program by law. Judge Hudson is a Republican.

Oh...Judge Hudson is a Republican. Nevermind. Can't get the hypocricy out of a Republican.
With the exception of Romney, everyone else running for office on the Republican ticket comes from a welfare state. A state that cannot raise enough taxes or pay enough wages to make ends meet and the federal government gives that state more than it receives in return. In the case of Haley Barbour, he gets twice as much as he gives to the federal government. And you want me to trust Haley Barbour or Sarah Palin with my money? Obama 2012.
Banana Republicans, here we go and its not even 2011 yet. Happy Holidays " That's SECULAR For you war on X-mas people"
Hello America, I would like to discuss all the good that Sarah Palin has done for our country, She was the only Politician to embrace the Tea Party movement of Independent Voters, something that hasn't been done since perhaps the Populace Party sent candidates back in the 1920's, so it has been along time since the Majority of voters have even had any kind of choice, for that we should be grateful, as for Mitt Romney he seems to posess alot of Buisness Skills, and I do recall when he helped the Olympic Commitee put on the Winter Olympics back in 2002 in Utah, very nice event, and I suppose he has alot of skills with Manufacturing, if anyone could help get Manufacturing jobs back on track in the U.S. it could be Mitt, who else can we choose to run for 2012, now lets be realistic, Sarah Palin was polled at 35% of an NBC Poll, Mitt Romney at 42% with the opposition Barack Obama holding at 48% approval (with Bill Clinton as the puppetere), I'm not sure where Hillary Clinton stands its probably at 2% after the Wikileaks Scandal, There are always a devoted base of socialists that will support Bill and Hillary, now lets eliminate so wannabees, I know America doesnot want another Arkansas Govenor so Hucklebee is out, and the New York City Mayor is out, well perhaps we could get John Boehner to run from the House, I don't know, can a House Speaker run for President, and if not elected go back to being the Speaker? I don't see why not, so I say lets throw John Boehners Hat into the ring for him, let me think on it some more, I know there is a cute little Witch in Delaware that could run, anyway let me think on it., sincerely Fezzy Bear
There are always a devoted base of socialists that will support Bill and Hillary
You gotta be kidding Fezzy Bear! There isn't a socialist anywhere in this country that supports DLC corporate hacks Bill and Hillary!
