What planet are you from?

Romney brought Massachusetts to be the 48th lowest state in employment.

"(Under the lash of Mitt RomneyCARE) 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."

I’m from the planet where frankly I don’t bother to discuss these things in detail with you any longer. But like I said rather than complain about the 2016 nominee in 2014, what are YOU doing to get somebody else nominated?

Let me know when you do something constructive, as you only have about 2 years to do it.

You forgot that “Romneycare” is expected to be TWO BILLION DOLLARS over budget in five years.
