Mitt, on the other hand, had an "epiphany" on abortion while his administration is researching stem cell research, after 12 years of outspoken support of abortion rights. He headed a private equity firm specializing in corporate turnarounds, which usually starts with massive plant and store closings and finding cheaper labor abroad, which is not wrong per se but he goes around the country talking about creating blue collar jobs in America and about the evils of illegal immigration. That's just phoniness

He pretty much ticked off the party with his dismal record of anti-coattail riding. How many lawmakers did the Romney revolution produce? One? The GOP lost seats under Mittens and he could have cared less. It's payback time

Nonetheless, Mitt Romney doesn't create relationships the way politicians have to, which is why, even though he was a good governor in the overall, many don't have good feelings about him. In Massachusetts people would rather get screwed by somebody they like than be governed well by somebody they don't like. That's why this place is losing population and is the laughingstock of the rest of the country. However, Mitt still has to learn that you can't just treat a place like a business. You can't buy and sell it, you have to make a relationship with it and keep that relationship.
“He pretty much ticked off the party with his dismal record of anti-coattail riding. How many lawmakers did the Romney revolution produce? One?”
That’s a load of hoakus. Romney spent hours upon hours of his own time recruiting new Repubilcan candidates in 2004 and spent millions of his own money campaigning for these politicians in 2004.
I dare ask how many other politicians running have done the same? The obvious answer is zero, of course.
And the results? The usual as of late with Massachusetts: a massive victory for Democrats. I suppose Romney should have repeated the effort in 2006 in a year when it was obvious that the tide was high for Democrats and low for Republicans. Just tossed his money and his time away into nothingness...
I’m afraid Mass doesn’t take the state’s well-being all that seriously until the disaster siren is blaring loudly across the bay...
This statement pretty much summs it up for Mass.,
“In Massachusetts people would rather get screwed by somebody they like than be governed well by somebody they don’t like.”
So the snubbing, in the context, means that Mitt was a good governor and didn’t screw the constituancy......But vote for McCain and a stronger drive towards a free and sovreign Aztlan!
Time for Massachusetts to do to Scumney what he did to the MA GOP. Bury it.
Massachusetts politics, probably coming to the entire U.S. very soon! If you really want to know what it’s like to have the Republican Party as a profound minority for several decades and counting, then all you have to do is seriously look at the ongoing politics of both Massachusetts and Rhode Island! Mitt Romney should frequently say what’s coming the U.S. way if either McCain or any Democrat takes over the White House along with a Democratic majority in both Houses of Congress. Mitt never uses the ongoing problems with Massachusetts politics as a possible foreshadowing of things to come to the entire country!
This article tries to play it as if Romney didn't poll right now 50 to McCain's 29. At the same time independents are allowed to vote either party and registrations can still be changed as far as I know.
As far as you Romney haters go, this group of whiners quoted in this all had something they lost - a cozy inside connection to the top pol. They weren't used to it so that even "conservative" papers like the Herald have been Romney busting. Of course bitching always sells and the Herald could buttress their "compassion" by making every dig under the sun against Romney so as to guarantee the, "See, even the Herald..." storylines in rival broadsheets and off the tip of liberal tongues.
You Romney haters should start a group on meetup.com so that you can hang out and throw darts at a Mitt Dartboard, piss on urinal soaps with BYU intials and then enjoy trying to explain to the waitress that you don't speak Spanish.
