Broken Promises: Romney's Massachusetts Record

Does all he said in Massachusetts in 2002 sound familiar to everyone?

This is one of the best from BarackObamadotcom

Mitt Romney ran for Governor of Massachusetts promising more jobs, decreased debt, and smaller government.

Here's what Massachusetts got instead:

Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation
Taxes and fees: Increased more than $750 million per year
Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion

Fact is, Romney economics didn't work then, and won't work now

he certainly couldn't win a majority of votes in his "official" state of residence, (yes, he votes here but lives more in NH and California), and the ONLY state where he actually held elective office.

One-term-only Governor Rob-me was so fearful of running for re-election that he never gave it a second thought, and went on to start running for President in 2006, hoping to be selected as the Republican candidate in 2008. That didn't happen, but that didn't stop Rob-me from continuing to campaign for 4 more years, and winning the Republican nomination by default, since all of the other candidates running against him in that race were either crazy or just too damn stupid, or both.

The scariest thing about former Massachusetts one term Governor Mitt Rob-me is that people think he actually looks like a nice guy who actually would be an acceptable President. The Rob-me/Ryan austerity budget plan would plunge the world into a depression to make1930's bread lines look like a picnic.
