1994 Flyer Reveals Romney's Conservative Positions May 29, 2007

[snip] A lot has been made of Mitt Romney's 1994 positions on gay rights and abortion. We've heard the flip flop charge before. But what hasn't been well publicized is the following campaign flyer from 1994. Take a look below.

Great post!

I'm for Hillary also.

Viva la Revolucion!

Weehaa! I can't wait to vote for McCain or Ron Paul!

Feh.......

[ConservativeMind]

He gave the liberals what they wanted. Of course that screws the budget over.

I’m voting for him, but I’m really holding my nose this Tuesday.

We have no good choices this year.

Mitt insisted that when he waltzed out of the corner office a year ago, in a hyper choreographed and scripted moment, he left us with a surplus of a couple of billion dollars.

Funny, but the aides Romney left behind weren’t exactly saying the same thing when Gov. Deval Patrick’s number-crunchers started making noise about a potential budget deficit of close to a billion dollars.

A little creative accounting going on there, Mitt?

Sourcing the Boston Herald to support McCain?

This is FreeRepublic?

Ouch. Better put some ice on that.

It would really be something if Romney lost Mass. on Tuesday.

[Rennes Templar]

“Only a fool, or maybe a couple of talk radio hucksters, would consider wasting a vote come Tuesday on our native carpetbagger, Mitt Romney”

He syas that like Mitt gained office by a coup.

Romney thought he had all his ducks in a row... the looks, the money, and once he became governor and flipped to conservative issues - the politics to become President.

It is shocking at how hollow Romney is and how anyone can support him as a serious conservative candidate.

Notice the article’s lack of substantiation. All of it is based on single and double hearsay from anonymous sources and the Deval Patrick’s administration. Heck, this is about a state budget a year later and there should be hard numbers to back any claim, not just hearsay.

“Funny, but the aides Romney left behind weren’t exactly saying the same thing when Gov. Deval Patrick’s number-crunchers started making noise about a potential budget deficit of close to a billion dollars.

“In off-the-record comments to reporters, those leftover Romney aides conceded that the state’s finances were in much rougher shape than their boss with Potomac fever had admitted to.

“Even as Mitt’s mouthpiece, Eric Fehrnstrom, scrambled to get out of Dodge a year ago, he declined to offer an on-the-record explanation for the huge discrepancy between what Mitt and his people were claiming in public and what they were privately telling their successors in Deval Patrick’s administration.”

[G.Mason]

Rather moronic to entertain the thought that McCain can be elected, when the Dims are going to vote for the real enchilada.

But then I'm not so smart, I have been voting for the lesser of evils for over 40 years.

No more of that B/S for this guy.

Expect that he will lose MA on Tuesday.

It’s interesting to see how Massachusetts residents feel about Mitt Romney using their state as a steppingstone to the White House, I wonder why I don’t sense the same resentment from non-conservative New Yorkers who were similarly used by HRC.

Iowa, South Carolina and Florida did not fall for Mitt’s smile, his shoeshine and the $50 million in TV ads.

He outspent his opponents 10 to 1 and still got his butt handed to him.
