Romney has been campaigning for Republicans for a very long time. He has put his own money where his mouth is. Give him his due. He helped Brown to win and win big. Just because a few disgruntled FReepers hate his guts does not mean the entire conservative base does.
Romney deserves credit for helping get Brown elected tonight. Actually, if the anti Romney FReepers were true to themselves they would hate Brown even more than they hate Romney. Think about it.
Give it a break, RomneyBOT. Your Master is delusional.
Here is proof:
"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."

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."

"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.

“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 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]."

One year ago Scott Brown was an obscure state senate with a primitive website and a few locally made signs. Now all of a sudden he has a multi-million dollar computer and campaign infrastructure. Oh yes, Scott has had hours of media training too.
Think about it. It all didn’t just drop out of the sky.
Mitt Romney has been supporting him for the past year. His old campaign staff is on the job there. Mitt now has a campaign package that he can export to every R candidate running for Congress this fall.
You may hate him but he’s getting the job done.
Which he does not have, fortunately.
I guess I am one of the “disgruntled freepers” huh Saundra?
You accused me of hate in that context, and could never find one post where I hated Mormons OR Romney.
I hate false religions, and I hate leftist liberal policies like from Romney, but don't hate Mormons or Romney.
Neither do the freepers you accuse of hate.
Saundra, please see reply #51! : )
A Few?
He has put his own money where his mouth is.

Nobody with a million dollar PAC ever puts his own money where his mouth is...
Romney’s lying mouth is nowhere near his multi millions..
That money is from the people he managed to exhort it from...

Really ???
What did he do for the Republican who ran for Gov in MASS after him ???
What did he do for President Ronald Reagan ???
You've been here long enough to know Jim Robinson has stated over and over and over again FR will never, never, NEVER support Romney. And honey, you'd better pull your head out of the sand, because a vast *majority* of FR doesn't like Mitt. You are living in denial, my dear.
Not to worry: Dio will!
