who --when Massachusetts' economy was roaring--, busted it,
and got a "C"-rating from the Cato Institute.
And that was even before Romney's fascist socialist RomneyCARE was installed.
Romney also betrayed President Bush. Here are the facts.
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.

Romney: “Make all the promises you have to...”
Now compare with a Conservative winner:
avacado:
"For anyone interested, go read up on the Alaska Highway Pipeline that Sarah Palin
negotiated to be built by TransCanada Corp. Sarah busted the chops of ExxonMobil,
ConnocoPhillips and BP who had been sitting on their butts for years not wantingbr
to build a much needed gas pipeline coming off the North Slope. In doing so,
this new pipeline will provide the USA with 6%-8% of natural gas needs. Iran, Russia,
and Qatar are in the process of forming a natural gas cartel. Sarah Palin just beat those
three countries in a geopolitical economic war and put the USA on the road
to ensured independence for our natural gas needs.
