Romney's speech at CPAC

I disagree completely.

The Mass era shows the country which is deeply divided that he can lead and lead conservatively even in a democratically controlled environment.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

EXCELLANT POST.

These guys forget that Romney is not all fantasy and speculation , he did have a shot at executive politics and it didn’t work out for him.

Romney’s term as republican (I think the fourth republican in a row) for Massachusetts did not gain him any glory, he left with low approval ratings and no chance of reelection.

[Peter ODonnell]

You said “I haven’t seen a politician from MA go after a woman like this since Teddy left Mary Jo in the car.”

That’s a memorable line. I haven’t heard one that good since Teddy got Mary Jo into the car.

[apocalypto]

Besides the point. The problem is that judges get away with making decisions as if they are dictators. They are often allowed to break laws and make laws. It has been going on for a long time and it is getting worse and worse and few care.

[ansel12]

I thought that Romney was a liberal that appoints liberal judges was the point.

[Norman Bates]

Nice pic!

[Waryone]

Maybe you ought to go look up the case instead of listening to lunatics comparing what Romney did to what they did to that poor woman Terri Schiavo.

No judge ordered Romney to do anything. No judge ordered anyone in the executive branch to do anything. The Mass court made a ruling about the cowardly dem Mass legislature which would never take it upon itself to rule for gays back then. Romney, a republican, realizing he could show the people of Massachusetts just how progressive (liberal) he really was, preempted a legislative response and a court ruling against the legislature and decided to bring on gay marriage for the world to see.

Anyone who tells you it was the sole fault of the courts is wrong. The court in Massachusetts by law is not allowed to legislate. The legislature was too scared to make gay marriage happen. Instead of forcing the legislature to vote itself or give the people the vote on the subject, Willard stepped in it and decided he would give Massachusetts and the United States gay marriage.

You can consider the truth to be stupid all you want, but that does not change the fact that it is true. Nor does it change the fact that time after time Romney has sided with gays against families, and abortion against families.

For you to believe that Romney is 100% better than Obama/McCain, you have to believe that Romney actually stands for something. I know that Slick Willard will become whatever he believes he needs to become. That means he can never be trusted. At least I know that McCain will always stab me in the back so as long as I face him, he’s not a problem. Romney will come along next to you and put the blade in your side. Coming or going, you’ll never know what hit you. Just ask what used to be the republican party in Massachusetts after he destroyed it. Just ask the family organizations in that state that had to work so hard against someone they thought they could trust.

He may have you fooled, but some will never be fooled.

[ansel12]

You think any of us who opposed Romney and Rudy would rather have Obama?

"Yes, I do. I have been told here several times that folks here are glad Obama won, rather than Romney or Gulliani." ============================================================

Darwin you are pretty new here and smell a little like a retread or a troll, you don't have many posts to look through so would you show us several of those posts to you where people say that they are glad that Obama won instead of Romney or Giuliani?

[apocalypto]

You can try to defend the judges all you want to but you are wasting your time. You sound like a liberal in disguise.

[ansel12]

Wow, you really are a retread troll and several times over.

I saw the post where you said you own a gun and I saw the post where you said you didn’t own a gun, I saw mostly pro abortion stuff, Christian baiting, baiting and flaming in general.

And this little gem of a post.

Quite frankly, if it wasn’t for the religion mods taking over the place, I would have contributed what my past amounts have.

Thousands.

Yes, I still lurk, and occasionally sign up and get banned.

[BarnacleCenturion]

Sorry but your facts are just wrong. You`ve either been deceived or you`re trying to deceive others.

And how about you?

Mitt blamed President George W. Bush for the Republican Party’s slow start in advancing clear alternatives to the stimulus package..........

That’s the fear. The fear is if all the banks start going under, -Mitt...............

Well, that’s precisely what Secretary Paulson and Chairman Ben Bernanke and people on both sides of the aisle fear. And you can’t be 100% sure that would happen but that’s what they fear. -Mitt

Soooo, Romney fears the banks going under and he blames Bush for not putting up a plan. But, Romney didn’t put up a plan, he just agreed with the FEAR.

Carter was a smart man too. But he was a hypocrite and full of f e a r. Just like Romney’s-for-killing-babies-then-not hypocrisy, and Romney’s fear. If he had as much courage as he had money, he would have spent more in the campaign and maybe won and at least not quit the day after saying he would not quit and then quit......but he had a fear of being a little less rich.

Former presidential candidate and governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) stood up to conservative critics of Secretary of Treasury Hank Paulson’s bailout plan, saying it was the right thing to do given the information that was available in September.http://www.businessword.com/index.php?/weblog/comments/2399/

Romney would have been better than obambi, no doubt. But then we would not have gotten our first Kenyan half black gay President.

Thanks for the links.

"You can try to defend the judges all you want to but you are wasting your time. You sound like a liberal in disguise.

ROTFLOL. Actually he is correct and you RomneyBOTs are very wrong.

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

and this

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that 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 . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

and then this.....

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.
- Boston Globe 11/2/2006

And how about this?

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to New Hampshire Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"Romney was Valedictorian, with Highest Honors, from Brigham Young University. He was awarded an MBA from Harvard Business School, where he was named a Baker Scholar, and a Juris Doctorate, cum laude, from Harvard Law School."

Romney ought try to get his money back from whatever "school" taught him.

When tested, ie. when Romney was Governor (a period in time when he should be EXAMINED)
Myth Romney also got a "C" rating from CATO. Not good. So the RomneyBOTs try to "spin history".
Note that liberal RINO Romney also betrayed President Bush (as TeamROMNEY would do in Election2008 to the GOP)
because Romney was also against the conservative tax cuts (note this also prove the RomneyBOTs wrong.)

Here are the facts from CATO.

"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."

How RINO is ROmney?

As Gov of Massachusetts, Bishop Romney raised taxes on NH residents.

How Romney is that?
