Yes Mitt completed his term as gov, and did such a wonderful job for the people of MA. /s
Are you from MA? I ask because several conservatives and FReepers have told me independently that Mitt was a big improvement over previous governors and the current occupant.
They also indicated that government universal healthcare was coming to MA no matter what and that Romney made it more palatable. He faced two solidly Democrat and liberal state houses, along with a judiciary that isn’t one to see the Constitution or conservatism ever. Many of the positions he took regarding MA healthcare were at the time espoused by conservatives and the Heritage Foundation.
It’s just like being a conservative in Cook County, IL. If you want to rant and crab stick to your guns and never compromise. You’ll be guaranteed a “clean” conscience and 100% liberalism. If you want to move the cause forward then you’ll have to compromise, but the net result is less liberalism.
It seems that we judge people like Monday morning quarterbacks too often. We’re happy to sit in our stool moaning and righteous, but never run, never get elected and never rule.
