MITT ROMNEY - THE PROVEN BAD GOVERNOR

"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."

MITT ROMNEY - THE PROVEN BAD GOVERNOR

The idiots at DU are reading your post and laughing...

The idiots at DU are reading your post and laughing...

Then Diogenes is doing them a favor. For the first time, the DUmmies are reading the truth.

[Crusher138]

Let’s turn this around and see how it looks...

President McCain passed consumer based health care reform which empowered individuals to buy insurance across state lines and initiated market based solutions. While not the complete laissez-faire solution some on the right wanted, it was a big step to getting government out of the business of health care. Additionally, President McCain has fought to make the Bush tax rates permanent, has supported legislation to deny federal funds for abortions, and has opened up some federal land for oil exploration.

In this reverse-world, some on the right are upset that with a majority in the House and Senate, McCain did not dismantle Medicare, did not outlaw abortion, and did not open Anwar for oil exploration.

So now it is 2012 in this reverse-world and the left has nominated Joe Lieberman for President. There are some on the far left who just can’t get behind Joe because he has supported the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They want someone like David Kucinich as their nominee and are threatening to stay home or put Kucinich up as a third-party candidate.

It this were the case, don’t you think that most of the Republicans would be THRILLED with the strife within the Democrat party? Even though McCain wasn’t “right” enough, they would still support him, just to keep the country moving in the right direction.

[Diogenesis]

And YOU think the CATO report is secret?

Don't want to rain on your RomneyBOT parade
but Obama has featured it in ads on TV for MONTHs.

Only the GOPe is ignoring it.

Mr. RomneyCARE is TRULY the chosen loser.

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
--  President Ronald Reagan

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
--  President Ronald Reagan

I strongly believe that Reagan would have endorsed Romney in this upcoming election. He would never allow a commie in the WH.

As much as he had distain for what we now call RINOs, he hated commies much more.

[Diogenesis]

Pres. Reagan, like any real Conservative,
would NEVER have supported Mr. RomneyCARE - Author of STATISM.

NOPE. Pres. Reagan would have castigated Mr. ROmneyCARE
for his attacks on Gov. Palin and his cowardice.

[Ingtar]

All I am trying to do is to keep those who can vote for Romney from getting their hopes too high. I believe it is wrong for me personally to vote for him. It also does not matter here in Tennessee, as if he needs my vote, he has lost the election already. Romney’s past indicates a lot of disappointment for those who support him.

Do you truly think McCain would have done any of that? He and the “leadership” in the House and Senate would have lurched Left while Palin and the voters screamed in futility.

[RichInOC]

The good news is that Barack Obama stands behind America. The bad news is that he’s rolling on a condom.

[zeebee]

So do you think he would have sat this election out? Voted 3rd party?

WWRRD?
