Boston Globe. Now there’s a paragon of objective reporting for you. While Romney’s performance as governor left a lot to be desired, the posted “article” conveniently omitted any mention of the 85% Democrat stranglehold over the legislature during Romney’s tenure. Nor did it acknowledge that Massachusetts took a significant employment hit from the burst of the dotcom bubble. There are many other convenient ommissions in this obviously biased piece.

It’s certainly fair to criticise Romney for these and other shortcomings during his tenure but lopsided articles like this from the Boston Globe diminsh its credibility as a serious analysis.

Romney's record didn't just leave a lot to be desired, it was absolutely left-wing in nature:

1. Implemented and supported Gay Marriage
2. Supported and forced Gay Adoption
3. Supported the Brady Bill
4. Implemented a state-level "Assault" Weapons Ban AFTER the Federal AWB was allowed to expire.
5. Supported TARP
6. Believes in Man-Made Global Warming.
7. Supported a state level Cap-and-Trade system in MA.
8. Supported Amnesty for Illegal Aliens (pathway to citizenship)
9. Raised taxes/fees by 300% while governor of MA.
10. Implemented a Socialist Health-Care program in MA called RomneyCare with $50 dollar Abortions and an Individual Mandate.

Get back to me when the so-called conservative media finds it's backbone and actually starts reporting about Romney's horrendous Progressive Liberal record as Governor, until then, I'm intelligent enough to read an article and know what's missing.

So did the rest of the country, however, MA was almost dead last with respect to the rest of the states with Romney at the helm.

Sorry, but Romney is still bragging about his record as Governor, whether the democrats were in charge or not in the legislature.
