Examples of Governor Mitt Romney’s Innovations

Redirecting government money formerly spent re-reimbursing emergency rooms, instead paying for health insurance premiums (more} Modifying the Massachusetts homeless policy of putting new people at the shelter into hotels, and putting those who have been in the shelter the longest into hotels, resulting in millions of dollars saved, and homeless people no longer going to hotels.

Last year, U.S. corporations spent more money on tort claims than they did on R&D." Mitt Romney is a...

DNC attacking Romney

Please help me respond to DNC press releases attaching Mitt Romney. I am copying DNC press releases about Romney to this location: http://myclob.pbwiki.com/DNC As always, I am putting brackets around key words which creates a link to whatever is in the bracket. Here is an example: http://myclob.pbwiki/ "whatever I put between the brackets [  ]" What I am thinking is that is that we have the text of their press release, but whenever they say something stupid, we respond in parenthesis. Please tell me tell me if you think this will be effective, or if you can think of other ways of responding. Just ask me for the password, and push the big edit button, and you can put your own responses. And no, the DNC, will not let you respond to their lies, because they are not interested in the truth. Hopefully the Romney campaign will respond to the DNC attacks (and save us some work) so we can copy and paste, but until then, I think we do need to find some way ...

"..the U.S. is losing its advantage because of three main factors: 1. The American regulatory framework, particularly Sarbanes-Oxley, is "a thicket of complicated rules, rather than a streamlined set of commonly understood principles, as is the case in the United Kingdom and elsewhere." Mitt Romney was not just a CEO, he was a CEO of a STRATIGIC BUSINESS CONSULTING firm, Bain & Company . This firm charges companies money, to tell these companies what they should do differently to improve their performance.

re: "The undoing of a Manchurian Mormon"

Gerald Owen, National Post (The Manchurian Canadian, Gowen@nationalpost.com ), I am responding to your "The undoing of a Manchurian Mormon" article published in the National Post on Friday, January 19, 2007. I have questions as to what exactly you mean by "Manchurian Mormon". You must be confused. Mitt Romney was born in Michigan. Manchuria is region of northeast China comprising the modern-day provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. Are you trying to say that Mitt Romney is Chinese? The Manchurian Candidate is a 1959 thriller novel written by Richard Condon, later adapted into films in 1962 and 2004. The central concept of the book and the subsequent 1962 film is that the son of a prominent political family has been convinced into becoming an unwilling assassin for the Communist Party; in the 2004 version, the villain was instead a giant corporation called "Manchurian Global". Are you trying to say that Mitt Romney works for the Comm...

Re: Romney retreats on gun control; Ex-governor woos Republican votes, By Scott Helman, Globe Staff, January 14, 2007

Re: "Former governor Mitt Romney, who once described himself as a supporter of strong gun laws, is distancing himself from that rhetoric now as he attempts to court the gun owners who make up a significant force in Republican primary politics."   Is this accurate? You be the judge. Lets lay out the time line of Romney's position on Gun Control, and see if Romney has changed or if the Boston Globe is guilty of working for the Democratic party when they assert the above statement   Governor Mitt Romney and Firearms Policy According to his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Romney "is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban. Mitt also believes in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms." July 1st, 2002 Mitt Romney signed a permanent ban on Assault Weapons. "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts ," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony with legislators, sportsmen's groups and gun safety ad...

David Brody of The Christian Broadcasting Network has the following report:

Let's talk about the war. Not the Iraq war. This war is between Mitt Romney and the anti-Romney grassroots groups in Massachusetts. I've never seen anything like this. My email inbox is scorching hot from the rhetoric flying from both sides. But here's where it gets real interesting. Normally, groups like Mass Resistance, led by the leader Brian Camenker get minimal attention. But they have been pretty diligent in consistently pounding home this "Romney's a hypocrite" theme. They haven't received too much attention from the mainstream media but the Boston Globe has run with some of their research and the blogosphere is talking about it. Let's do a reset here. Mitt Romney wants to be President. A Group called Mass Resistance thinks he's a phony. Romney calls himself a true conservative. This group thinks he's anything but citing what they say are his flip flops on gay rights, abortion and a host of other issues. They detail all of their claims...

Mitt Romney won't let democrats get away with playing games

This is an actual Press Release that Mitt Romney released. We are letting the democrats get away, and no one confronts them. Romney would change this. ~ Myclob July 23, 2004 ROMNEY, DECRYING POLITICS, VETOES SENATE VACANCY BILL Says Democrats are putting interests of party ahead of the people Governor Mitt Romney today vetoed a bill that would leave empty the office of U.S. Senator for as much as five months while a special election is carried out in the event of a vacancy. Romney's veto comes after the Legislature rejected a proposed amendment by the Governor that would have allowed the Senate President and House Speaker a consultative role in an interim appointment. "The bill deprives the people of Massachusetts from continuous representation in Congress," said Romney. "This would put Massachusetts at a disadvantage relative to every other state and would deny our citizens an equal voice on important issues that affect the Commonwealth an...

Mitt Romney and the Surge

Image
Boston, MA – Governor Mitt Romney, in direct consideration of the proposed increase in troop deployments in Iraq, issued the following statement today putting an emphasis on the need for clear and measurable strategic objectives. "I agree with the President: Our strategy in Iraq must change. Our military mission, for the first time, must include securing the civilian population from violence and terror . It is impossible to defeat the insurgency without first providing security for the Iraqi people. Civilian security is the precondition for any political and economic reconstruction. "In consultation with Generals, military experts and troops who have served on the ground in Iraq, I believe securing Iraqi civilians requires additional troops. I support adding five brigades in Baghdad and two regiments in Al-Anbar province. Success will require rapid deployment. "This effort should be combined with clear objectives and milestones for U.S. and Iraqi leaders. "...

Governor Mitt Romney and Islamist "The key issues we face, of course, are first, the conflict with the jihadists. This is a conflict which is going on within the world of Islam, and the jihadists are attempting to overcome the moderate, modern factions of Islam and replace them with a caliphate. It's going to require the involvement of the U.S. as a leader of the world to help move Islam away from that kind of extremism and violence." Governor Mitt Romney, Q&A: Mitt Romney Discusses Iraq War, Reagan's Influence and Gay Marriage "The defeat of this radical and violent faction of Islam must be achieved through a combination of American resolve, international effort, and the rejection of violence by moderate, modern, mainstream Muslims . An effective strategy will involve both military and diplomatic actions to support modern Muslim nations. America must help lead a bro...

"The easy way to fix any problem is to go to the people and say you have to pay more money, but that's not what the job of management is.

Mitt Romney: A Massachusetts Liberal for President?

Selwyn Duke ( SD@SelwynDuke.com ),   re: http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/01/mitt_romney_a_massachusetts_li.html Can you define someone is a "Liberal" with two issues issues? Is that how "American Thinkers" debate? Do you think you were accurate in your description of Romney? What did you add to the conversation that could not be found,   more accurately here:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorship_of_Mitt_Romney#Abortion   and here   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorship_of_Mitt_Romney#Same-sex_marriage   ?   I have never seen a less accurate quote of someone in my life. You say, " Thus, it's no wonder that while campaigning against Ted Kennedy in 1994, Romney said that anti-marriage "is not appropriate at this time."  My guess is that the time will be right when the electorate is left." What is anti-marriage? You represent the "American Thinker"? That is a sad comm...

Just ask me for the password, and I'll give it to you. "America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home." Governor Mitt Romney ""Experience shows that kids have a far better chance of succeeding if they have a mother and a father at home. Of course, divorce or death means that there will always be many, many single parents; these single parents often make huge sacrifices and their kids can indeed succeed. But let's do everything we can to encourage our kids to have their kids after they've married, not while they're single and in school. We have sex education in our schools. Let's also have abstinence education in our schools. Marriage and two parent families are fundamental to ...
