N.H. should shun our fiscal phony (Mitt Romney)

take a look at you house and senate

Ginny:

Thank you very much for your excellent advice, and clear statement why Mitt is not a fit candidate to represent a conservative Republican party.

[HEY4QDEMS]

It's a good thing that Bucky didn't let her hormones cloud her brain like they did to Ann Coulter.

[mewzilla]

So New Hampshire, it’s up to you. Do you really want Mitt Romney to do for the country what he did for Massachusetts?

State braces for loss of congressional seat

Gee, what's not to love?

[rhombus]

Who does "Ginny" work for now? I'd think there would be plenty of political jobs up for grabs especially for an ex- "chief of staff" for the two previous Governors (Swift and Celluci?)

[Brilliant]

Singling Romney out as a fiscal phony is just a waste of breath. New England, and indeed all of America, is full of fiscal phonies.

The real question is whether you can find one who's NOT a fiscal phony.

[mewzilla]

Singling Romney out as a fiscal phony is just a waste of breath. New England, and indeed all of America, is full of fiscal phonies.

Anyone who votes for a pol MA (or NY) elects/elected to statewide office needs his/her head examined.

After an unremarkable four-year term, we have seen what happens when a Republican governor refuses to take a no-new-taxes pledge, and then, not surprisingly, raises taxes (and morphs into a social conservative and runs full time for president instead of governing.) A Democrat wins.

And what happens if someone like him or a pro-choice gun-grabbing former mayor runs for president? A Democrat wins.

Try telling that to the resurgent Rockefeller wing of the party.

[Stars&StripesNE]

Mitt was working with a legislature that was 89% Democrat. Doesn't Buckingham understand the rules in Massachusetts? Elect a Republican Governor and blame him for everything.

Keep in mind, Romney erased a $400 million dollar operating deficit that was there when he entered office.

[dashing doofus]

Yeah, the Mass healthcare plan is not the mark of a fiscal conservative, but Romney did attempt some tax reform in Mass, and a rollback in state personal income tax rates.

I think Giuliani is less of a fiscal conservative though.

Brownback: who?

Paging Newt Gingrich: your moment is here, please declare!

[HEY4QDEMS]

Keep in mind, Romney erased a $400 million dollar operating deficit that was there when he entered office.

By raising fees over $500 million per year, ($2 Billion over the four years he was in office), and refusing to roll back income tax as mandated by the voters.

[mewzilla]

'Rats. RINOs. No diff.

[mewzilla]

Do you really think that bluer-than-blue MA would vote for anything other than a RINO?!

People aren't bugging out of MA because Romney, along with their state legislature, were God's gift to good governance.

[Leisler]

Where you born yesterday?

"Keep in mind, Romney erased a $400 million dollar operating deficit that was there when he entered office."

Yeah, he raised nearly a billion a year in taxes, fees and fines....for each year. And now what? The Democrats spent the extra 3.5 billion and we have a billion dollar debt.(Who would of thought? I guess you have to go to somewhere other than Harvard to figure that out). No wonder he 'closed' the deficit. Did he cut taxes? Nope. Did he veto the budgets? Nope. Did he upset the temple and throw out the Democrat money(tax) changers? What I mean is did he rock the boat and go full out, or did he just 'manage' his governorship as a ladder rung to the presidency? Pick one of the two.

[tiger-one]

No sir, the REAL question is who is the REAL Conservative?

Answer, Duncan "the RINO" Hunter

[tiger-one]

Fees ARE Taxes

[massgopguy]

Ginny ran MASSPORT when some Muslims decided to fly some planes.

[HEY4QDEMS]

And your point is?

[Mr J]

The Romney-bot is programmed to win elections. That is the purpose of the Romney-bot.

The Romney-bot was constructed with Square Jaw(tm), Shiny Teeth(tm) and Good Hair(tm) technology. These features allow the Romney-bot to win votes from the Gullible Girl(tm) demographic.

Victory is inevitable for the Romney-bot. Join the winning camp -- get out there and vote Romney-bot!
