Willard Romney surrogate and possible running mate, Marco Rubio, actually suggested, “Don’t like Romneycare? Just move!”

Because, hey, you and I both know how easy it is to remedy a situation by trying to sell/sublet/break a contract/pick up and leave. The moving expenses alone are exorbitant, the time and effort are hugely burdensome and exhausting, and the idea that abandoning your own home, friends, family, and job is even an option is beyond absurd.

Yet this is Mitt’s possible vice presidential pick, Marco Rubio’s solution to anyone who doesn’t like Romneycare:

  • Disrupt your entire life
  • Uproot yourself
  • Abandon your significant other or hope they’ll do everything on this list with you
  • Throw your life into disarray
  • Start a new life from scratch
  • Leave all that is comfortable and dear
  • Come up with a new place to live, a place in unfamiliar territory, that’s affordable
  • Find work… in a new state where nobody knows you
  • Make new friends
  • Acclimate
  • And on top of all that, seek out new doctors who are as good and compatible as your former ones, the ones you had to leave behind.

I’m sorry what?!

    Hey — it worked for John Sidney McCain back in ’08 . . .

    Thanks! And yes, I’ve been tweeting about Bristol all day. Big ol’ loser family, they are!

    Thank you Laffy, I see you are way ahead of my news, but the GOP really picked a loser. I guess President Obama hopefully will win, now we have to worry about 2016. BTW, why are people still posting Sarah Palin’s tweets, she only does it for attention. I heard Bristol’s rating fell into the pooper, have you heard. Happy Saturday, love you Sandy.

    Telling people to ‘move’ in a depressed housing market with tight credit is the height of idiocy.
