But, at the same time, in direct contradiction to his words, he enacted the "Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan," which is EVERYTHING the radical enviros are after anyway.
With Mitt Romney, you always need to watch what he does, not what he says. And typically, what he does is liberal to the core.
Again, read it and weep.
EV, you neglected to mention critical facts about the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan which make it far from what radical environmentalist want enacted:
"Unlike the Kyoto Protocol, Romney's plan focuses on voluntary initiatives, restricting any mandatory requirements to only a few large industries and the state itself. The plan includes no enforcement mechanism for requiring attainment of the goals."[...]
In addition to rejecting more stringent proposals, Romney made a special effort to convey that he personally had doubts about alarmist global warming theory, going so far as to attach a letter to the plan's final version suggesting he remains unconvinced that man-made greenhouse gases are an environmental problem.
"Romney said he was unsure whether climate change is occurring and whether human activity is causing it," reported the May 7 Environment & Energy Daily.
Romney characterized his support of the plan as an "insurance policy" focusing on voluntary initiatives in the private sector and mandatory reductions primarily directed at state agencies themselves.
"If climate change is happening, the actions we take will help," Romney wrote. "If climate change is largely caused by human action, this will really help. If we learn decades from now that climate change isn't happening, these actions will still help our economy, our quality of life, and the quality of our environment."

What you do let go of Hunter?
I really think Mitt did wonderful swimming among the "Shark" to do what he could the good people of Mass.
Matt 10
16 ¶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
