Romney is the Republican nominee and we should all get behind him.
He knows how to balance a budget and will make the cuts that are necessary.
$1 Trillion deficits every year are unsustainable.
moonshot925: "Romney is the Republican nominee
and we should all get behind him."
Mr. RomneyCARE is NOT the nominee as yet.
He has fought, backstabbed, cheated, changed rules
during and after the game,
and has misrepresented himself and then hidden,
but he is not the nominee as yet.
moonshot925: "He knows how to balance a budget and will make the cuts that are necessary. "
Actually, Mr. RomneyCARE's record shows otherwise
so why both to misrepresent the truth?
Do you think we are all stupid ... or just cannot remember?
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."
