    Yeah, it's a bit aged. He's got his talking points email a bit late.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Like he will if he becomes the president, Romney is following the right-wing crowd, not leading it. Very odd stuff. The normal way for this stuff to work is for the presidential candidate and his campaign to supply the talking points to the pundits, not for the presidential candidate to conform his talking points to what the pundits are saying.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    So, I see where he flipped on this after the fact, but what do you Romney guys think?

    Well... I can see where he would say argumentatively that, because legitimately, it hasn't been a tax passed by Congress. Therefore, it is illegitimate as a tax, and not appropriate to call it one just yet. The court has ruled it MUST be a tax, but it wasn't passed as a tax by Congress... so what to do now? We can't call it a tax and we can't not call it a tax. Hence, there are two sides to the argument.

    1) Do you belive that is what he was doing?

    2) So now you have evolved from "the entire thing is a tax" to "There are two sides to the Argument."

    1) I don't know what he was doing, I didn't hear him.

    2) No, I believe the SCOTUS ruled it has to be a tax to be constitutional. And I believe ANY argument has two sides, or it couldn't be an argument.

    Both are penalties that are portrayed as a tax.

    1) How would the 10th change if it is a tax or not?

    2) Have you ever heard of the 9th?
