People reading your “facts” should read the book about lying by statistics. For example, if I ran a state where every person had a job when I entered office and every person still had a job when I left I could be accused by a statistical liar of having failed to reduce the unemployment rate … and they would be right! It is a fact that when Romney left office the unemployment rate in Massachusetts was 4.7%. I would say that’s a pretty good number, but perhaps you would disagree.

Before I leave your list of grievances against Romney, let me say first that Romney is not my first choice for President, but at this point, he’s my ONLY choice. Obama must be defeated. Anyone on the Right who refuses to vote for Romney out of pique, out of the belief that we can have perfection as an alternative to Obama, is delusional. Second, your willingness to use Democrat talking points without taking the time or effort to find out why and how they are fooling you is a disservice to this country and, I should add, a disservice to the principles that Jim Robinson and the people around him espouse.

Regards.

"Democrat talking points"?

Are you seriously trying to suggest that Romney bears no responsibility for his liberal track record, and that any mention of it is an underhanded attack against him?

You're as bad as the Democrats who scream 'foul!' whenever we quote Obama's own words to them.

You've also got a lot of nerve trying to ally Jim Robinson to those timid and dishonored people who have shut their eyes to Romney's many transgressions against conservative traditions and principles. He may be allowing you Romneybots to post here, but make no mistake; he supports Romney about as much as he supports Obama, and has said so countless times.

By the way, if you're going to invoke someone's name in conversation, you should ping them to that post.

I also notice that you didn't refute a single one of those bullet points from Romney's record. It's no wonder that you didn't. His record is completely indefensible from a conservative point of view. His performance in office was indistinguishable from any liberal Democrat, and he's done nothing in his private life to support the contention that he bears any allegiance to the right.

Who cares what his official party affiliation is? If it walks like a Democrat and talks like a Democrat, it's a Democrat.
