“He found out that when the senate, legislature, courts and city halls are under the total and absolute control of corrupt dhimmicrats, a Republican governor is completely handicapped.
To give him credit for Coupe Deval is just ridiculous.”
Indeed. There was a credible Republican candidate ... so I think the voters had something to do with it.
The REAL problem is simple: TOO MANY MASS. VOTERS ARE DYED-IN-WOOL DEMOCRAT LIBERAL VOTERS. Too many pull the trigger for the most offensively stupid liberal politicians, no matter how corrupt, wrong or bad for the state.
Why? Why is that?
Stupid voters begets stupid politics.
Indeed. Nobody expected him to have smooth sailing, there was a helluva lot of work to be done. But when you pledge yourself to an important job, you need to see it through. Rather than once encountering those setbacks, either redoubling your efforts or trying a different approach, he decided to just give up and quit... AND... if that wasn't bad enough, got it in his head, a megalomaniacal delusion that he was QUALIFIED to run for President of the United States (!) That's the kind of mental illness I expect from Democrat pols, not Republicans.
"He found out that when the senate, legislature, courts and city halls are under the total and absolute control of corrupt dhimmicrats, a Republican governor is completely handicapped."
You're right, a GOP Governor is handicapped, but he KNEW THIS going in. He was pledged to doing something about it, and then once the '04 elections came and went, he gave up. He completely abrogated his duty as the party leader of the state, and it became all about his quest to become President. Nevermind the filty nest he was sitting in. It's like the plumber who lobbies to get a contract to clean up a mansion, after a leak is sprung, rather than try to repair it, he quits his job and decides to run for the head of his union. Yeah, that's a real record of accomplishment. I don't want this guy near ANY leadership position. He doesn't do his job and he cuts and runs from his responsibilities.
"To give him credit for Coupe Deval is just ridiculous."
To NOT credit him with handing the office of Governor to him on a silver platter is being ignorant. He refused to do his job, refused to run for a second term, and abandoned his state to a hapless Lieutenant that couldn't compete. That's his legacy.
"I'm not apologizing for him or supporting him -- just laying bare the facts."
Fair enough, but I lay out the facts as well. I speak as a former supporter of his. He lied to us, and he is not to be trusted. He certainly is not to be entrusted with the Presidency. If he couldn't take the heat on Beacon Hill, how is he going to handle the heat on Pennsylvania Avenue ?
"Since you're in Tennessee, why do you care? My guess is you support another candidate for the Republican ticket. Did I get that right?"
For the record, my location is irrelevent. I want responsible Conservative Republican leaders in every state and territory in the union. Whether in Alabama or American Samoa, Georgia or Guam, Virginia or the Virgin Islands, and Massachusetts, too. I closely follow ALL of our states and localities as best I can. Also, for the record, I was briefly up in MA leading up to the '94 elections supporting Romney in his run against the corpulent drunkard. I know the man quite well, and his flip-flopping record and ultimate choice of abandonment of duties, and I do not want to see ANY "Republican" of his RINO ilk anywhere near the halls of power, period.
And you can see my tagline for whom I'm supporting for President.
