========================
REAL DEAL:
"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 won’t deny he wants a wallstreet bailout?
He said that just like you posted
It was actually less coherent than that. The guy makes Bush sound like William F. Buckley. Hank
We need a debate with NO MODERATORS. Just the candidates around the table asking each other questions and making their points. The moderators always try to make it about themselves...
Mitt Romney is a progressive idiot.
And you know damned well that if Obama was the one doing it, they would have opposed it.
He sounds evasive about his economic advisers.
Who’s the dude talking now? He sounds great, let’s all vote for him?
SPIN MITT, SPIN.
You hit the nail on head, bad format, no HD, and awful moderators.
Perry needs to jump in there.
Mitt likes to talk about building companies. Zero and the Dems will pull out all of Bain Capital’s corporate raiding of companies’ cash and forcing them into bankruptcy. It will dovetail with the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ nonsense.
I am a Perry supporter and he looks like a man that’s going to quit 45 seconds after this debate is over.
I’m going out to score some coke, I’m SOOOOOOOOO bummed...
I could become a Newt supporter.
Verbatim? Not sure. Why did I transpose the words?
I do not like Mitt - he debates well - but I stil do not like him
Great hair!
Is Perry even in this?
I do not like Mitt - he debates well - but I stil do not like him
