If you want to drink the koolaid, go for it. I won’t. This is a a guy who just finished a term as Governor in which more of the radical Left’s agenda was passed in MA than in any other place at any other time. I think he’s a complete phony and a dangerous liar.
Their agenda was passed because they control 85% of the state congress and overrode his vetoes.
The bottom line is Romney vetoed legislation to expand stem cell research, vetoed the emergency contraception measure (requiring hospital emergency room doctors to offer the medication to rape victims, and make it available without prescription from pharmacies), and he fought for parental consent on abortions.
Is it his fault that the liberal congress up there overrode his vetoes?
Garry Trudeau, creator of the Doonesbury cartoon strip, agrees with you.
Romney campaigned from the left, but governed from the right despite an opposition party with an overwhelming majority.
I had a client in my office today who described himself as a liberal Democrat from Massachusetts who ended up working for Paul Cellucci’s adminstration. He said he had a high opinion of Romney in his first year in office, but soon became disenchanted with him when he started governing as a social conservative.
If Romney was disappointing social liberals in Massachusetts while he served as governor, then that ought to tell you something about the man’s political ideology. He’s a fiscal conservative, and social conservative...no matter how he portrayed himself in 2002 during a campaign.
He’s smart, articulate, good-looking, and has high morals and ethics. He is also incredibly accomplished in life, and would make an excellent President.
