Romney Opposed The 2003 Bush Tax Cuts

“In 2003, the Governor refused to endorse the Bush tax cuts,

earning the praise of Massachusetts liberal congressman Barney Frank.”

(“The Romney Record: Promise and Puzzlement,” Club For Growth, www.clubforgrowth.org, accessed 9/12/07)

Romney Said He “Won’t Be A Cheerleader” For Tax Cut Proposals He Disagrees With. “According to the observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Romney told the delegation that he ‘won’t be a cheerleader’ for proposals he doesn’t agree with, ‘but I have to keep a solid relationship with the White House.’” (Wayne Washington and Glen Johnson, “Romney Weighs In – Carefully – On Bush Tax Cut Plan; Governor Won’t Give His Endorsement,” Boston Globe, 4/11/03)

Romney’s Position Pleased Liberal Barney Frank. “‘I was very pleased,’ Frank said afterward. ‘Here you have a freshman governor refusing to endorse a tax cut presented by a Republican president at the height of his wartime popularity.’” (Wayne Washington and Glen Johnson, “Romney Weighs In – Carefully – On Bush Tax Cut Plan; Governor Won’t Give His Endorsement,” Boston Globe, 4/11/03)

He would be a complete disaster. The people voting for him have no clue (or do they?).

mitt is a liberal from Massachusetts. Need I say more?
I will never vote for a guy that was elected by the same people that constantly brought us Kerry and Kennedy.

[trappedincanuckistan]

He’s way more liberal than a lot of the people voting for him realize.
