Oh, right. That thing I said. Hey, I remember this! Does anyone else remember this? From Mitt Romney's push for what would soon become his signature achievement in Massachusetts, now dubbed Romneycare, in 2005:Romney delivered his speech, publicly backing an individual mandate for the first time. He told reporters afterward, 'No more free riding, if you will, where an individual says, 'I'm not going to pay, even though I can afford it.' ' He called it 'the ultimate conservative idea,' saying that people 'don't look to government to take care of them if they can afford to take care of themselves.'The ultimate conservative idea. Yep, I'm just gonna leave that right there. Say, have Reince and Newt and the others weighed in on that one lately?
