He’s just staying true to form; I don’t know why people are surprised.
Romney in 2003, about a Massachusetts coal plant:
“I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people.”

Every state has their own version of the EPA. Eliminate the federal goliath and let every state safeguard their own environments.
I've got my own plan to save money there as well. With some pretty basic training the states could bring in local volunteers for the basic monitoring and reporting. I love getting out and around in the township.

I believe the EPA has to see itself as being responsible for our air and water......”
The EPA has lost all credibility because of its abuse of power.

The news media would LOVE for Willard to get all 'controversial' at this point.
Whether he's Big Government or not, he'd be flat stupid to offer the MSM ammunition like that to slam him with at this point.

Right.
My candidate was conservative. He didn't win.
ALL we can do now is staunch the bleeding.
Until I see a better alternative, which no one around here seems to have.

The checks and balances of constitutional government doesn’t apply to the agencies, they are a fourth branch of government and a law unto themselves.
There is no Bill of Rights to limit the power of the regulators. They are kings in business casual. Once they decide to come after you, you are toast. They have an unlimited budget and all the time in the world to bankrupt you.

Well I’m actually trying to push Mushy Mitt to the right unlike you who just wants liberal approval.
I knew it was crap when you clowns flapped your gums about pushing Romney to the right and sure enough it isn’t going to happen.

>>>Romney is no conservative. He will never favor anything that reduces the scope and size of government.<<<<
Bingo! He loves big government, and will not lift a finger to reduce the size of government, just look at Mass gov’t before and after willard did his thing.
What he will do is tailor gov’t to help his big money donors and supporters, most of these benefits will be warmly received by off shore industry.

I actually agree with Romney on this one. The EPA is just another government agency that has gone rogue. It has done some good things-like its insistence on emissions on small engines like outboard motors, which are much better, get better fuel economy and have fewer emissions than older engines. But like most of the welfare agencies, it has gotten out of control and has been run by enviro freaks. If we had a real watch guard agency to monitor the extremes of these other unaccountable agencies, we wouldn’t see such extremes. But then, it would probably get out of control also.
To: bestintxas
Since Romney (aka, Rotney) is no conservative, we need to drag him to win in Nov, and then drag him for four years to do the right thing as much as possible. it’s the pragmatist’s way.

Conservatives have not learned a "darned" thing from the results piled up by the left - gay lobby and envirowackos - they win little tiny victories and make their ideas seem harmless. Conservatives SCREAM close education or EPA and the "averge" joe who sees 1-2 hours of TV news a week, thinks conservatives are the devil instead of folks working to make a better place to live.
Liberals win a hundred TINY battles every month - in court, on TV shows, in the MSM - and they all look rational to hard working folks that have no time to examine life's lessons. Maybe little victories would be a start to slowing the growth of EPA DOJ etc. etc.

Some conservatives remember the old warning about the frog and the boiling pot.
Others think flailing around and ending up roadkill is a better option.

Correct, ken in texas. Not much to gain by campaigning on EPA's elimination, but a larger potential to lose those indies considering supporting him but who were scared away because Mitt wants dirty air and water. As much as I love the idea, it waves a red flag for many
It'd be an easy matter to disarm and dismantle it via the budget process, which I suspect he'll do.
