You mean like the Crawford paper that backed Kerry in 2004? Gotta love the best sources and historical information.

Quit making excuses for The Glob.

T/F: Mitt Romney’s plan expanded the number of people insured under private healthcare plans.

“Shocking!
Blogger Harry Forbes notes a hilarious passage in a Boston Globe piece about Mitt Romney:

But some of Romney’s critics and political foes—all strong supporters of the state’s healthcare law—say he is resorting to tricks used by candidates trying to put the best spin on their records: accentuating the positive, deleting difficult details, and taking too much credit.

Maybe Romney should take a page from Karl Rove and accentuate the negative instead. That’s called “reverse psychology” and it’s even more sneaky and underhanded!”

He posted the exact same comment on another thread:

It isn't exactly the same, but rather a distinction without a difference.

To: TChris

The Mitt-worshipers refuse to read anything that might be critical of him.

They simply ignore the facts and attack the messenger.

That's why in this whole thread no Mitt-worshiper has even attempted to refute a single fact from the article.

Attack the messenger, Attack the messenger, Attack the messenger!

The Mitt-worshipers can’t stand the heat.

There can be no criticism of their annointed one.

They even refuse to read anything that might be critical of him.

They simply ignore the facts and attack the messenger.

A candidate's hometown paper is expected to take the lead in reporting on the candidate...

Is this the first presidential campaign you've followed?

Oh, a real zinger there, JohnnyZ. No it isn't the first Presidential campaign I followed, in fact I followed the last which featured a liberal Massachussetts politician who, unlike Romney, was not the subject of a hit-piece-a-day from the Globe.

Care to explain why Kerry got Globe puff-pieces, and Romney gets hit pieces?

For example, he decries "socialized medicine" and says the Massachusetts plan is "all a private initiative, a private-based, market-based healthcare" -- omitting the fact that the state and federal governments TAXPAYERS!!! subsidize much of the overall cost and that a public board negotiated the benefits and prices that private insurers now offer.

How is that different to what was in place prior to Romney’s health care reforms?
