>>>>Second, Romney raised fees, not taxes--- there is a difference, however slight, that is not merely trivial

It's not slight its a major difference. Should we blame Reagen for States raising taxes when he cut the Fed tax rate?

This is also what happened with Reagen when he cut taxes many local munincipalities upped fees.

I have seen the list of fees Romney increased and some were local city governments charging more. IOW, Romney didn't up many of the fees the local city council beauracrats did to try to make up for the cuts from the top.

Local government has to answer to the people in ways that the National govt. does not. Anyone ticked about the fees can boot out their city councilman.

The net effect of Romney's tax cuts is umatched by any other Governor (even Ronald Reagen). It is interesting seeing Mitt haters with Mitt Derangement Syndrome try to bash his fiscal policy. (Unless you are a Paulistinian who favors abolishing the FBI, CIA and everthing else, nobody holds a candle to Mitt's fiscal discipline.)

What next from the Mitt haters?

How about bashing Reagen's increased fees...

Come on, Rameumptom-— look at my post and you’ll see I was defending Romney-— I just wanted to make the point the Governor wasn’t lying about not raising taxes without getting bogged down. Be that as it may, aside from misspelling the last name of Ronaldus Magnus (”Reagan” is spelled with an “a” and not an “e” at the end), you make some very salient points. Right now Fred Thompson looks best to me but there never has been, nor ever will be, a perfect candidate.
