2003 "Ultimately, the only way for us to get the Commonwealth back on track is to find a job for every citizen who wants one…Extending the hours of operation for all of the One-Stops will help us achieve that goal – one person and one job at a time."

Liberals love jobs but hate employers. Liberals hate businessmen. It is a good thing Hillary Clinton never worked for an evil corporation. Oh wait, she worked for Wal-Mart. My bad. Explanation: I copied and pasted all of Governor Mitt Romney's press releases from his site, just in case they go away when he is no longer governor. Then I started copying quotes from the press releases, into each subject's page, as seen below. Next I want to make a list of actions from each press release, and start going through the press releases, creating links within this web page, and getting all the good content out. If you want to help I can try to explain better what I think still needs to be done, and how to do it.

http://johnandcisco.townhall.com/   Cisco this morning gave the standard explanation of how a candidate from Massachusetts can run for president. He said Romney has changed his position on everything, and that he is now Running against Massachusetts. Then he turned around and said that Fred Thompson was viable because he could say that he has been to Washington, and Hollywood and could say that he hated them both. John tried to say that Rudy is doing the same thing as Romney. Speaking up their ability to work with the democrats, and pointing out the difficult political battles they had to fight in Massachusetts and New York City.   Cisco tries to come across as the smart one, but it falls pretty flat some times. John asked how what Romney is doing is different than Rudy. Cisco ignored that, and went on to totally contradict himself with the Fred Thompson can win by running against Washington and Hollywood.   Cisco is trying to have it both ways, saying Thompson c...

Good morning.   In the past four years, I have spoken with service men and women from every part of our Commonwealth. I have met their families – parents, wives and husbands, and children. We have spoken in the anxious days and hours before deployment to far-off and dangerous places. And, I've welcomed our service men and women home.   Their sacrifices inspire – there's the star athlete who now walks with a cane, the proud hero who taught himself how to tie his shoes with an aluminum arm. And then, there were others who did not return. Army Lt. Derek Hines, a 25-year-old known for his love of hockey and infectious grin, was struck down in a firefight in Afghanistan. I met yesterday with the grieving 20-year-old widow of Edward Garvin, Lance Corporal – she and her husband were best friends since the 2nd grade, then sweethearts. He was killed 40 days after his deployment to Iraq.   In these last few years, I have attended almost 40 funerals and wakes. Every fallen sold...
