Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, whose health-care record as governor of Massachusetts has left him struggling to win the support of conservative voters, now faces another point of vulnerability: his environmental record.

Just days after his 2002 election, Mr. Romney hired Douglas Foy, one of the state's most prominent environmental activists, and put him in charge of supervising four state agencies.

Mr. Foy had initiated a lawsuit that led to the cleanup of Boston Harbor and had worked to protect fishing grounds and seashores. Once in the Romney administration, he served as the governor's negotiator on a regional climate-change initiative ...

Will Romney get rid of the EPA? He needs to address this.

Yet another reason... NO ROMNEY, NO WAY.

Look people. I know that we despise Zer0 as someone who is bent on ruining this nation. But we know who he is, and more importantly, so do the Republicans in Congress, WHO FIGHT HIM AND HOLD HIM AT BAY.

Now. Imagine a Myth presidency. Someone who does 90% of what Obama would do... but ALL OF IT SAILS THROUGH CONGRESS. Who will stop him?

Not the Dims... he’s doing what they want!

Not the GOP... he’s ONE OF ‘THEIR OWN’.

NO ROMNEY, NO WAY, NO HOW, NOT EVER!

Would you believe him if he said “Yes, I’ll abolish the EPA?” If so, I’ve got a nice bridge to sell you.

I find it interesting that he hasn’t mentioned it. Whether or not he’ll do it, is another question.

Romney and his lackey’s need to educate themselves. But I ain’t holding my breath, I’m educating as many folks as I can on my own. This global warming bs is exactly that. Btw I have degrees in biology and chemistry but that pales in comparison to the the 32,000 scientists on the petition linked here>>>>>>>.
