"Character matters " This article says: "...As a candidate for governor of Massachusetts, Romney supported gay unions; now he opposes them ..." How many times do we have to keep going over this ? When he ran for governor in 2002, Romney declared his opposition to both same-sex marriage and civil unions . Click here for an article from 2002 showing this FACT. Here is a message to the main stream media . Stop saying lies. Especially things that can easily be shown as lies. ~ Mike

Obama more liberal than Kucinich, analysis reveals This is a must read for anyone who wants to see what is really going on. WASHINGTON - The most liberal member of Congress running for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination isn't Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. It's Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. And the Republican candidate who's grown less conservative over his years in Congress? Sen. John McCain of Arizona... The study, released this month by the National Journal, a respected inside-the-Beltway research report, will help voters cut through the spin and hype of TV sound bites in coming months and judge these candidates for themselves. Unlike TV commercials that focus on a single vote, these rankings are based on comprehensive voting records. The 2006 scores, for example, were based on as many as 95 votes on such issues as federal spending, tax cuts, the war in Iraq, embryonic stem-cell research and border security. On the Democratic side, the analysis of "lifeti...

I have compiled the truth on Mitt Romney's Gun Policy. I don't mean to sound arrogant. It wasn't that hard. I just found all of Romney's quotes and actions on the issue of Gun Control, and put them in context. I let you read the record, from the raw press releases, and decide for yourself. If the media was interested in finding the truth, they would link to this information. But they are not interested in finding the truth. They are interested in creating a boxing match and charging admission to see the fights. I have seen about 5 talking heads on Fox News say that Mitt Romney has flip-flopped on gun. I thought they reported, and let us decide? But no. They have decided for us. We are too stupid to think for ourselves. Why not check out his gun control policy and decide for yourself if he has flip-flopp ed.   http://myclob.pbwiki.com/Media http://myclob.pbwiki.com/Guns http://myclob.pbwiki.com/flip-flop

Hillary will loose. Don't believe me? Listen to this video. ~ Mike

Well there is a new entry to my list of Romney speeches . Click here to go directly to see the latest CPAC speech . As always (on my site), clicking on the word Education from the text of his speech will bring you to all the Romney " Education " Press Releases and quotes and stuff that I have found so far. Today I also added something to my criticism of Romney page . The new addition is the accusation that, " Romney raised fees in Massachusetts ." Have you guys heard this? You never hear people say what fees he raised. But aren't consumption taxes better than income taxes? Besides was Romney the person who raised fees or did cities raise fees? You never hear specifics... Besides Romney's record on taxes is the best of the 2008 candidates by far. You need to go no farther than here to see that. Look at his record from 2002 on through today. It is awesome. Contrast that to Rudy's . NYC debt rose by $16 billion during his tenure in office to a tot...

The Media This article says the following: -In his Senate race, he wrote a letter promising a gay Republican group he would be a stronger advocate for gays and their rights than his liberal opponent, Edward M. Kennedy. Now he emphasizes his opposition to gay marriage and civil unions. Why does the media keep repeating this lie about Romney? When he ran for governor in 2002, Romney declared his opposition to both same-sex marriage and civil unions. Click here for a link to a 2002 article that explains this. There is no change. Why is it that the media attacks Romney over non existing flip-flops, but does not attack Hillary of her support, and now opposition to the war? It often seems that journalist would rather cause problems, than fix them . They don't even try to give an accurate portraits of what Romney believes. But this is not new. Journalist tend to over simplify things. Else why do they summarize the president's speech, when you can read the whole thing onlin...

Thursday, Feb 22, 2007   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kevin Madden (857) 288-6390   Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney released a letter sent to New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli urging that he pursue "a policy of strategic disinvestment from companies linked to the Iran ian regime." Letters urging support for this policy were also sent to New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and United States Senators Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer.   In his letter, Governor Romney wrote:   "With your new responsibilities overseeing one of America's largest pension funds, you have a unique opportunity to lead an effort to isolate Iran as it pursues nuclear armament. I request that you immediately launch a policy of strategic disinvestment from companies linked to the Iran ian regime. Screening pension investments and divesting from companies providing financial support to the Iran ian regime or linked to Iran 's weapons programs an...

Friday, Feb 23, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kevin Madden (857) 288-6390 Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on the current environmental debate: "Governor Mark Sanford is right. Unfortunately, some in the Republican Party are embracing the radical environment al ideas of the liberal left. As governor, I found that thoughtful environmentalism need not be anti-growth and anti- jobs . But Kyoto-style sweeping mandates, imposed unilaterally in the United States , would kill jobs , depress growth and shift manufacturing to the dirtiest developing nations." " Republicans should never abandon pro-growth conservative principles in an effort to embrace the ideas of Al Gore . Instead of sweeping mandates, we must use America's power of innovation to develop alternative sources of energy and new technologies that use energy more efficiently."

Unfortunately I have to add another list to my " Criticism of Mitt Romney " page. The Criticisms is "Romney is not a true Republican because he voted for Paul Tsongas." First a clarification. Romney voted for George H. Bush in the General (final) election, but he voted for Paul Tsongas in the primaries. Every belief has many valid reasons to agree and disagree with it. I created a page for this belief here : Reasons to disagree (Romney was wrong to vote for Tsongas) 1. Romney was a good republican because he was very practical. In 1992 there was no Republican primary. He had two options. He could sit on the side lines and not vote (like me this last election cycle) or he could vote for the best candidate who would not likely beat Bush in the General election. Romney chose the latter. This does not make him a bad republican. 2. Paul Tsongas was a fiscal conservative . 3. Paul Tsongas was a good guy . 4. I wish every Republican would have ...

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. (more) Negotiating a system, the only in the country according to my knowledge, that allowed state troopers to help out with illegal immigration.

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

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. The most qualified person in the country to help our economy would be the CEO or former CEO of a strategic business consulting firm like Bain, or one of its competitors such as McKinsey & Company or the Boston Consulting Group . ...

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...
