Mitt Romney’s Dismal Record
"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."

There's Mitt's record, in black and white. It's a record that would make any liberal Democrat blush with pride. Given the keys to the White House, he would have gone even further left. That's what the evidence shows.
You Romneybots need to wake up and face reality. The base WILL NOT SUPPORT RINOs. We're going to keep losing elections until the GOP-e allows a real conservative to capture the nomination. That is the way it is, and no amount of bellyaching on your part is going to change it.
You want a Republican in the White House - then get out there and work your tookis off to get a true conservative through the primary battle.
Puhlease stop trying to absolve those who stood by while the guy who traded 5 Taliban and billions of our hard-earned dollars for a traitor was reelected. It might make you feel better, but it doesn’t change the fact that a pocr@p is in our White House for two more years, undermining our country. To all those who couldn’t vote for Romney, enjoy what you have enabled while the world is destroyed. For you know darn well that a Romney would NEVER be given the license that zero has been given.
