Thompson for President press release

Romney Opposed The 2003 Bush Tax Cuts

“In 2003, the Governor refused to endorse the Bush tax cuts,

earning the praise of Massachusetts liberal congressman Barney Frank.”

(“The Romney Record: Promise and Puzzlement,” Club For Growth, www.clubforgrowth.org, accessed 9/12/07)

Romney Said He “Won’t Be A Cheerleader” For Tax Cut Proposals He Disagrees With. “According to the observer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Romney told the delegation that he ‘won’t be a cheerleader’ for proposals he doesn’t agree with, ‘but I have to keep a solid relationship with the White House.’” (Wayne Washington and Glen Johnson, “Romney Weighs In – Carefully – On Bush Tax Cut Plan; Governor Won’t Give His Endorsement,” Boston Globe, 4/11/03)

Romney’s Position Pleased Liberal Barney Frank. “‘I was very pleased,’ Frank said afterward. ‘Here you have a freshman governor refusing to endorse a tax cut presented by a Republican president at the height of his wartime popularity.’” (Wayne Washington and Glen Johnson, “Romney Weighs In – Carefully – On Bush Tax Cut Plan; Governor Won’t Give His Endorsement,” Boston Globe, 4/11/03)

I don't like Romney, but these MSM-type tactics are getting old.

Yeah, kind of like the MSM tactic you just employed, taking one comment that can't be sourced and trying to label all the evidence that I've posted that is sourced as invalid.

What's wrong, the truth about your boy bother you?

No, I'm series... Are they any Romney supporters here at Free Republic? I don't think I've seen any. So, again, my main point is why waste time on someone we all agree sucks?

You're kidding right?

Look at the posts by Freepers demanding we vote for Romney or it's a vote for Obama.

You don't think those are Romney supporters?

Who's the source? Where's the quote?

Gimme some REAL info.

And, no, Romney's not my boy...never has been. Just because I can't find a quote from him doesn't mean I like him.

Actually, I limited my comment to your post topic. It’s a prime example of Politico-style BS that should rightly be shunned by conservatives. I didn’t comment on your other posts, but will if I have the urge.

He didn’t divide the Republican party. The establishment did. They are the ones telling us to take a backseat and let them drive the bus into the ditch.

We finally stood up to them in 2010. What happened? All of a sudden, the Tea Party is invisible.

No. I would not classify those as Romney supporters. Since the conservatives FAILED to put up someone electable, now it is time to be pragmatic and move the ball forward as much as possible. Another 4 years of Obama will be a complete disaster.
