Here are a few things Romney did do:
Ann Coulter
Sorry, but Ann’s predictable pro-Willard propaganda lacks one important fact... ALL of their Governors are required by law to have a balanced budget in Massachusetts (Article 63, Section 2 of the 1780 Constitution). Michael Dukakis and Deval Patrick have “balanced the budget”, too. Looks like they qualify for the Republican nomination, too, by Coulter’s reckoning.
Only to Ann Coulter do massive increases in fees, which Romney implemented, not equate to a tax increase.
