Romney's Thinks He Has His Own Personal Bridge to Nowhere

[kpete]

Mitt Romney will campaign Friday in New Hampshire, looking for his own "bridge to nowhere." The Romney camp thinks they have found it in a 19th century bridge no longer used for traffic that was restored with state and federal funds.

Romney's attack on the $288,000 bridge restoration will run into several immediate challenges: Funding for the project was overwhelmingly supported by state Republicans, including a significant number who have now endorsed Romney for president. The infrastructure project created much-needed jobs during tough economic times. And it left behind a public park enjoyed by Granite State residents who take great pride in their early-American and colonial history -- and who will be casting critical, swing-state votes in November. It's a curious breed of conservatism that would find offense in the job-creating conservation of a stone arch bridge that is one of the earliest examples of dry-laid masonry vaults in New England.

1. Sadly his attack will have no effect on the support from those republicans who supported the bridge.

What an idiot.

2. That beautiful bridge epitomizes the beauty

of this State. Maybe naxt Romney will propose dismantling all of the stone walls that dot this countryside and selling the stones.

3. When RMoney spoke of his $300k+ in speaking fees, he referred to it as "not a lot of money".

Now he's outraged that, in the scope of the massive federal budget, a couple of hondo are spent on a bridge?
WTF??
Maybe he's upset that jobs went to the working class?

4. Well if the renovation created jobs then of course Romney's against it

The bloodsucker hates jobs like a vampire hates a cross.
