For those in other parts of the country who call him a RINO, realize that in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney is considered a far right Republican Nazi wacko. After Mike Dukakis’ Massachusetts Miracle turned into a Mass. Mirage, he decided to not run for re-election in 1990. He was followed by four
Republicans who weren’t exactly conservative: Bill Weld,
Paul Cellucci, Jane Swift, and Romney. Romney rode in on a white horse to save the day when Swift’s positives were
around 22 per cent.
Mitt’s lt gov Kerry Murphy Healey—who, like Mittens, did not accept a salary, and we did get our money’s worth I guess—failed to defeat Barack’s pal Deval “Together We
Scam” Patrick. Patrick won re-election last year after a straw candidate split the anti-Deval vote. Supposedly he isn’t running again. Can the Republicans win back the
Corner office? (If they do, it would most likely be a RINO;
again, this is Massachusetts, where Ted Kennedy was Senator from the year I was born—1962—until 09 when he died...)
Ah, yes -- brings to mind the only thing I clearly remember Mitt standing firm on, really digging in his heels and fighting: that he would not have Jim Rappaport as his lt. gov. Now, I know nothing about Rappaport so I have no opinion as to whether he was right or wrong. I just remember it was the only time I saw him hold firm.
A liar in any state is still a liar, I mean flip-flopper.
