The author of this piece is an idiot. He wrote an article that contradicts itself.
In part I, the article says the Governor’s Council is basically a rubberstamp.
“I’m no great fan of the Governor’s Council, but the Globe is quite right to note that one thing they have generally not been is overtly partisan”
Then in Part II, the article says the Governor’s Council needed to be abolished for Romney to appoint conservative judges.
“Near the end of Romney’s term, in 2006, he stripped the Judicial Nominating Commission of many of its powers, allowing his administration to put a more direct stamp on the judiciary, as he prepared to run for president. “
Who gives a crap? Either way you slice it Romney had a way to appoint conservatives and he DIDN'T until he was preparing his presidential run, around the same time he became pro-life and began his flip-flop crusade.
I'm not looking forward to so-called conservatives bending over backwards to defend this RINO just because he had an "R" stamped on his name by the out-of-touch elites in the party. Especially when people like you are going to do it by attacking fellow conservatives with baseless and pointless attacks when they are just trying to expose the truth about the fraud named Mitt Romney. If you're going to support Romney, just face it and admit you're picking what you think is the lesser of two evils. Don't try to pretend that there isn't a Mt. Everest-sized pile of criticism to level against this limp, liberal poser from the conservative point-of-view. If this guy is elected and the rank-and-file start defending him when he makes one liberal move after another, that will be the end of the Republican party for real. If the party goes liberal, it will be torn asunder and be sent to the junk heap with the Whigs.
