Unmarked Package's Homeage also deals with lineral media lies about Romney
Governor Mitt Romney
Examine the record of Mitt Romney while Governor of Massachusetts and you will find that he applied and practiced core conservative principles of fiscal and social conservatism in one of the most liberal states of the U.S. It required courage to take the conservative positions and actions he did in the face of a hostile political environment.
I believe we should care about Mitt Romney's actions while in a position of authority, since taking office in 2003, much more than we care about words he spoke in campaigns years ago. Mitt Romney's record as Governor, when his actions had real consequences, tells the real story about how he would govern as President.
The following information is my latest collection gathered from personal research all around the web. I hope FReepers will give it an honest look.

Ping A Romney
Great piece for those willing to read real arguments — ie. 1% of people.
You need to put this out with summary points. Include references, naturally, but make the whole thing clear and convincing in under 30 seconds.
Good job in addressing those deceptions, Rameumptom. I am also tired of hearing people spew lies about Romney’s supposed appointment of “gay activist judges.” Here is a very good summary and rebuttal to those claims:
http://blog.electromneyin2008.com/?p=1708
As it turns out, according to a 2005 Boston Globe article, the one judge (NOT judges as has been falsely stated here on FR) was a lower court district judge who was deemed “well-qualified” by a centralized Judicial Nominating Commission—meaning that he was recognized as following the law in criminal matters. He was hardly a threat to the gay marriage issue since that would likely be dealt with at a much higher judicial system level.
Also, it seems that Romney does, in fact, have a history of booting out gay activist judges:

I would also like to point out a couple of little know Romney quotes on the matter of activist judges:
Romney: ”Beware of activist judges. The Legislature is our lawmaking body, and it is the Legislature’s job to pass laws. . . . While the law protects states from being forced to recognize gay marriage, activist state courts could reach a different conclusion, just as ours did. It would be disruptive and confusing to have a patchwork of inconsistent marriage laws between states. Amending the Constitution may be the best and most reliable way to prevent such confusion and preserve the institution of marriage.” (Wall Street Journal op-ed, Feb. 5, 2004)
Romney: ”The real threat to the states is not the constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate, but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage in order to impose their will on the states, and on the whole nation. At this point, the only way to reestablish the status quo ante is to preserve the definition of marriage in the federal Constitution before courts redefine it out of existence.” (Testimony to Senate Judiciary Committee, June 22, 2004)
Mitt is a RINO. The AWB reference supports his lack of leadership by not vetoing it on principle alone. He signed it, based reports from you pro RINO folks because he knew it would have been overridden. You Mitt supporters claim Mitt had to work with the Liberal controlled houses of government, therefore his programs were impeded. This shows his lack of leadership, POTUS Reagan had the same obstacles and lead this nation in spite of them.
Then Mitt passed Romney Care where the public is forced to by medical insurance. A real conservative program, NOT.
He will cave to the Liberals just like he did in Mass.
Unilike McCain and Guiliani, I am willing to vote for Romney in the General Election.
But I’m voting for Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson in the Primary...
Romney vetoed a bill in 2004 that would have permitted illegal aliens to pay the same in-state tuition rate paid by citizens at public colleges and universities in Massachusetts.("Romney Signs $22.402B Fiscal Year 2005 'No New Tax' Budget," Press Release, 6/25/04)
He vetoed the bill providing state funding for human embryonic stem cell research
He vetoed a bill that provided for the "morning after pill" without a prescription because it is an abortifacient and would have been available to minors without parental notification and consent
He vetoed legislation which would have redefined Massachusetts longstanding definition of the beginning of human life from fertilization to implantation
He used the line-item veto or program reduction power to cut spending by nearly $1 Billion. Over the course of four budgets, Governor Romney made over 300 line-item reductions, 350 line-item eliminations and struck language 150 times.
He supported parental notification laws and opposed efforts to weaken parental involvement
A bunch of hooey.
Romney is a recent convert — probably conversions of political expediency — to conservative positions on life, guns, borders, everything.
Last week he stated that he SUPPORTS the gay agenda at the state level. His term in office proved that.
He’s a fraud and a danger to this country.
