I agree with you that a large part of the bashing seems to come from the Romeny camp. However, I’d like to let them know, I actually lived in MA when he was governor. He didn’t have the honor to step down as governor after he decided to run for president. He merely left the actually governing to Lt. Gov. Healey. She did as good as job as she was able given that she was fighting a Democratic state congress and wasn’t given too much authority to do it because she wasn’t even “acting governor”. Then he didn’t back her too much in her run for the Governorship, though she did his job for him while he was out campaigning.
Oh, and yeah, Romney was the one who gave MA that abortion of a health care reform, heavily supported by the Democratic state congress.
I supported Romeny when he ran for MA governor and had a lot of hope when he was elected. However, he was more concerned about being liked than being conservative. I saw no honor in the man.
(was it ok with all of you FR’ers that have been here longer than me that I “bashed” Romeny ... can someone please tell me where I get the form to sign to be able to express my opinion to a more senior member?)
It's been my experience that 'tenure' means very little, as far as the content of a person's posts.
I have seen Newbies present very civil and logical debates on various subjects. I have seen long-term posters lose control and populate their prose with nothing but emotion.
It's really an 'individual' thing.
