Governor Mitt Romney on the Current Environmental Debate

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 ...
