FreeBird,
You said “and I don’t trust the man (Romney) that got elected to run one of, if not the most, liberal states in the union.”
Trust me (as a Mass resident who is old enough to remember buying ammo at the local gas station when I was 13, 14 years old):
Mitt Romney is a liberal in conservative’s clothing
1) Mandatory health care - turning into a disaster - expensive - the unintended consequences are gonna be a killer. Reporting is tied to state tax returns (1099HC = admission against interest if you don’t have HC) so tax scofflaws will increase. (Mark my words and check back in July!) You want Hillary Care? Elect her or Mitt.
2) Guns - WILL sign a “assault weapons” ban. Believes it is OK to ban firearms of excessive lethality but did NOT define the term (standard gun-banner ploy). Joined NRA (life member) just before announcing run for republican presidential nomination.
3) Taxes: Used “Dukakis Dodge” - raised fees in Mass (FID raised 300%) and plows excess into general fund (that means “tax” not “user fee”).
That is enough to get you started. Dig around here on FR for more - I sort of remember someone posted his 17 positions on abortion - I won’t go near gay marriage in Mass -
DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN, Romney.
Peet (who can’t wait to get out of Mass)
I hear you, Peet! We're remodeling our house to put it on the market. As soon as it's finished and sold, we're OUTTA HERE, and heading back home to MS. Twenty years in this place is more than enough, and since hubby is going to be self-employed, we can live anywhere we want, and that place is NOT here.
