Looks like we are down to two options for the Republican nominee, Romney and McCain. I’m not exactly excited about either, but if I had to choose, it would be Romney. From the title, you know there is a but coming right?

Well, here it is. Of all the issues that will be presented to the next president, there is one that scares the hell out of me; socialized medicine, regardless of what the democrats call it. If we assume for a minute that the dems remain in control of the both the house and senate, I am pretty certain they will draft some sort of a socialized medicine bill. To be honest, I’m scared to dealth Romney would sign it, based on his history.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of bills McCain could sign that would be ugly. I think most of the boneheaded things McCain would do would be reversable. Socialized medicine would not, at least not easily. As our history has shown, regardless of how bad an entitelment is, they never get taken away once the are given out. Correct me if you think I’m wrong here.
