Romney’s Position Pleased Liberal Barney Frank.
“’I was very pleased,’ Frank said afterward. ‘Here you have a freshman governor refusing to endorse a tax cut presented by a Republican president at the height of his wartime popularity.’” (Wayne Washington and Glen Johnson, “Romney Weighs In - Carefully - On Bush Tax Cut Plan; Governor Won’t Give His Endorsement,” Boston Globe, 4/11/03)

Frank was also please when Thompson supported McCain/Feingold.
Mojave, LOL, check the author of that piece. Glen Johnson .... does that ring a bell?
You trust the words of Barney Frank?
Doncha get it? The liberal media has spent the last 6 years trying to make Romney un-electable. WHY?!? Because they know he’s that conservative, and that good.
Actually, Romney chose not to weigh in on the 2003 tax cuts at all. His ‘non-endorsement’ was not opposition, it was stepping aside. The Dems wanted to make the impression it was opposition, the snippet below is why. Romney is running on Reaganism, and the Dems know that it is powerful, works, and is popular.
A questioner at a town hall meeting Friday night in Rochester asked Romney about his apparent change of heart. The man refused to give his name, and Romney aides surrounded him afterward and accused him of being a Massachusetts Democrat who had challenged Romney about his tax record at another event.
Romney said that his first public comments were in support of the tax cuts, and that he campaigned on behalf of Bush in 2004.
Turning back to 2003, Romney told the man: “You see, I wasn’t a U.S. senator. I didn’t have to vote on this, didn’t get a choice to. I was running my state, so I didn’t have a comment on their position. And I said, `I’m not weighing in on federal issues.’ But Senator McCain was a senator. He had to vote. He had to decide, `Am I in favor of pursuing these tax cuts or not?’ and he voted against the tax cuts — twice. That’s a very different position.”
PICK ROMNEY OVER MCCAIN - BETTER A CONVERT THAN A TRAITOR
