I don't suppose it would be because most Massachusetts Republicans are slimy turds in the mold of Jim Jeffords and Lincoln Chafee, would it?
Romney is just a bit too much like Bill Clinton for my tastes....much too slick and calculating.
Romney shelled out millions in 2004 to assist Massachusetts Republicans, all he got in return was a loss of two seats in the State House. He finanically supported the most candidates the Republican Party had put up since 1994. So, when 2006 came around, and these same pathetic candidates ran, Romney decided to send his money to Republicans elsewhere in the nation that were actually credible candidates and could win. I dont see what is wrong about that.
I hadn't realized how pro-abort he is until someone pointed it out on a recent thread.
No, thanks.
So this proves what? That he's a prudent fiscal manager?
How many of these candidates were even close?
It's nice to see though, that the obvious source of the story, Rappaport, actually went on the record. I wonder which presidential candidate he's associated with.
Why should Romney throw good money after bad by supporting Republican candidates in a state that has become so nut case Democrat a Democrat who's a convicted murderer (or one just guilty of manslaughter at Chappaquidick) would stand a better shot of winning political office than a Republican pure as the driven snow? Romney was right not to waste money on Republicans in a state like Massachusetts in a year like this when even in the best Republican states GOP candidates had a struggle on their hands to hold on to office, much less to take over Democratic-held seats. As if a Republican congressional candidate in MA. had an ice cube's chance in hell...
This is exactly the kind of fiscal characteristic we should desire in a president.
Romney would be as well off if he burned the money as gave it to Bay State GOPers.
This guy is getting way to much ink. He can't win, period. If he can, we are worse off than I thought.
I saw on an earlier thread how a conservative President and congress will turn everything around in 08. I wondered where we might locate such a candidate.
I am basically optimistic in my world view, but I gotta confess, it looks like it's going to get worse than we thought before it gets better. Hope I'm wrong again.
He's a phony.
No surprise to some of us here in California,, or as it should be re-named, West Massachusetts.
