You’d be surprised at the quotes I read in his press releases. Proof of his liberal, socialist values and policies on record for conservatives to see.
This is great work, but my only critique would be to add a good summary intro paragraph — the good old “who, what, when, where and why.” This will draw readers into the details which you have spelled out nicely. Remember, on the web, people tend to skim, so the more you can chunk it up, create bulleted lists of info, the easier it will be to scan. Let’s make your work as effective as possible!
I’m open to anything that will help get this in front of more voters. I can write a summary, but I doubt JR/mods will allow me to update the article. I’d probably have to re-post it.
I would love to see a list, with all of the liberal politicians that say the same things - I’ve been debating with Romney supporters all day at work.
Well Done. This information needs to be shared with as many people as possible, including Levin.
Looks largely like a scheme to line the pockets of the mortgage holders—with state support. To what extent did they fund his campaign for governor? In effect, that would make Romney a bribe-taker ante factum. Follow the money trail.
Even back in the 90s, El Rushbo frowned upon government promoting home sales in preference to renting. Usually, though, he just had in mind the mortgage deduction. Romney’s housing scheme added a new and awful dimension.

BTTT
It is also forgotten that in W.'s first SOTU address ( the one before 9/11, he also said that he wanted the government to help people buy houses. Even with the then very common low down, or no down payment mortgages that were rampant Bush said that some poeple still had trouble buying a home. He proposed a government program to "loan" poor people the funds for the down payment and closing costs.
So many things wrong with that,,
But one thing I know he was doing, is he was standing up as the former Speaker of the House and someone who many people respected as a conservative leader, he was standing up and defending Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. And so conservatives in Congress and conservatives around the country, instead of arguing to get rid of these entities, to scale the market back and get rid of these guys, they said, ‘Well, if Newt Gingrich thinks it’s a good idea, why, we ought to go along with it.’Um, ... what?! Republicans in Congress were arguing to "scale the market back." All the while Romney was expanding the market in MA. What a total liar.
Did he really think he could hide it all?
Buying those computers was obviously an attempt to hide something.
We’ll be examining Romney’s motivations in the next article, but I hope that interested bloggers and journalists will become interested and do some digging of their own.
Romney is a Liberal Democrat in the wrong party. Maybe he thinks a “pro life” stance is enough... a “Business” background is good enough.... mkay.
No, Romney will not do ANYTHING to any degree great enough to make any difference in this Obamanation of an economy.
Ping to the Usual Suspects!
Please hit your ping lists folks. This is a story with legs, and there is more to come!
Thanks!

Thanks BuckeyeTexan.
FYI
President George W. Bush
Setting the Record Straight: Six Years of Unheeded Warnings for GSE Reform
The Washington Times Fails To Research The Administration’s Efforts To Reform Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac
Excerpt:
Over the past six years, the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of failure to reform GSEs but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties.
In fact, it was Congress that flatly rejected President Bush’s call more than five years ago to reform the GSEs. Over the years, the President’s repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems with the GSEs.
Rest, listing ALL his many attempts

Documented .. Pres Bush started to rein in this monstrosity in 2001 .. with the last plea in Sept 2008. He was blocked in the main by the outright LIAR, Barney ‘Frankly Twisted’ Frank.
Franks Stopped Bush in 03 to regulate Fannie Mae 17 times!
