President Obama can thank Republican Mitt Romney for more than the Massachusetts health care law that helped shape Obama's national health care plan.
One of Romney's former top state environmental officials during his tenure as Massachusetts governor now oversees air quality at Obama's Environmental Protection Agency, playing a key role in the march of environmental regulations to fight climate change and slash pollution from coal-fired power plants that is regularly blasted by Republicans seeking Obama's job. Sometimes, even Romney himself.
House GOP leaders, powerful industry groups like the Chamber of Commerce, tea party groups like Americans for Prosperity, and Romney's chief rival, GOP front-runner Rick Perry, have essentially declared war on EPA air rules, slamming them as "job-killing regulations" that will tank the economy.
Independent economic analyses have shown that the rules are unlikely to have a negative impact on employment. But the "job killing" claim has caught fire in conservative Republican circles, as Perry especially has gained momentum for attacking the EPA as a "rogue agency" with an "activist mindset" willing to "kill jobs ... and derail the economy."
That puts Romney in an awkward position when it comes to his own moderate record on energy, the environment, and his common link with Obama's EPA: Gina McCarthy, EPA's top air pollution official.

ping
figures.
And I think Paul is a whackjob
It should now be anyone but Romney and Obama...
Perry needs to continue to do his homework and expose the Romney lies. I think Perry still has a shot at the Florida straw poll in spite of the last debate.
Cut the debaters down, it’s ridiculous to have debaters with 1, 2, or even 3 percent. Give Perry the opportunity to attack Mittens on each one. It appears those that host the debates....need to have a whole line of debaters...so all the crud in Mittens background will stay covered up.
Right!
And Romney’s background is way worse than Perry’s.
Slick Romney needs to be exposed.
Say what...Perry has nothing to be ashamed of in his background...only maybe the EO and he has already said that was a mistake.
interchangeable
Yeah all the brainless Fox groupies claim becaue of the debate they were changing from Perry to Rom-me.
Anyone that still is supporting the tired ole lying elitist repubs needs some serious meds. I though ole Roms claim that HE had a REAL Job. I guess he thinks working a Ranch in west Texas and not even having running water until he was 5 makes Perry “just one of the help”.
Yeah Perry had to make his life by hard work, unlike the rich and arrorgant Romney.
I don’t trust the straw polls. The Paulettes make it a point of stuffing the box (so to speak). They claim to take the high road. which is a joke ofcourse considering the lies they spread.
Absolutely. I’ll take a self made man over and elitist pig anyday.
Appears they are rating their candidate on debates instead of looking at someones complete record. A bit shallow...wouldn’t you think?
Yes. Nothing of substance.
I’ll wait for the primaries. By that time we should be down to the viable candidates.
The thing is most of the candidates are going broke and won’t be around when the primaries start. People are voting right now with their money.
