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."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 06-11-2003 Press Release
      • Romney, after a tour of Workforce Central Career Center, which is operated by the Division of Employment and Training in partnership with the Worcester City Manager's Office of Employment and Training.
  • "I'm not going to rest until we put Massachusetts back to work."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 06-24-2003 Press Release
      • Romney, at a Logan Airport news conference announcing the "Jobs First" initiative
  • "I am thrilled about Cisco's expansion in Massachusetts. As the state's number one salesman, I am going to pursue companies up and down both coasts to encourage them to grow jobs in Massachusetts. This new site finder will add to our efforts to get the Massachusetts economy back on track."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 06-27-2003 Press Release
      • Romney, attending the grand opening for the new Cisco facility.
  • "In the past, state government has had a poorly coordinated approach to identifying our strengths and weaknesses, and as a result, our public policy has been clumsy in terms of maximizing our overall growth potential. These Regional Competitiveness Councils will provide us with the information we need to boost regional growth and bring more jobs to the state."
  • "I am committed to putting Massachusetts back to work. As difficult as our challenges are, we have enormous potential – a diverse economy, a highly educated workforce and major academic and research institutions. But we can only be successful by working together, all of us, Democrats and Republicans, business and labor, to create an environment that allows job growth and development to take place," he said.
  • "I am committed to putting Massachusetts back to work. Our goal with this clearinghouse is to increase the amount of credit allocation to Massachusetts organizations and projects, so we can begin to attract and direct resources to qualifying communities whose reinvestment is an important pathway to entrepreneurship, community life and above all, jobs."
  • "These grants are an investment in the future of our workforce. Learning does not begin and end in the classroom – it extends to the factory floor and the boardroom. These grants, which will train people in management leadership, problem solving, high tech and manufacturing, are just one more way that the Commonwealth is working in partnership with the private sector to ensure more and better jobs for the future."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 08-05-2003 Press Release
      • Romney, who made the announcement at Micro Networks Corporation, which received a $128,198 grant.
  • "This exciting and robust job expansion will reach cities and towns stretching from Fall River to Springfield. Over the long-term it promises to provide a boost to both the state and local economies."
  • "You went through a tremendous evaluation process to decide where to consolidate the plant. You analyzed over 30 scenarios and considered many other states. In the end, you decided to stay here in Massachusetts and for that, I salute you."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 09-23-2003 Press Release
      • Romney told company officials during a tour of the facility.
  • "The core of our 'Jobs First' initiative is to ensure that every citizen who is in need of a job can get one. To attract employers and encourage faster growth rates, the Administration has already commissioned the career centers to extend their hours, and now with the events across the state today, we are one step closer to making sure every person who is looking for a job is given the tools to find one."
  • "All across the Commonwealth, today and every day, the state's 32 Career Centers are at the front line, providing hope and resources for job seekers such as Cheryl Tate. I will not be satisfied until we get many more citizens back to work. Through the state's one-stop career centers, we will work to accomplish this one person and one job at a time."
  • "The manufacturing facility that you opened today will begin Therion's next stage of development: the move from research and development into the commercialization of vaccines. It is a tremendous breakthrough and you could not have chosen a better place to expand."
  • "Businesses start up and find a home in Massachusetts because of the opportunities our Commonwealth provides to workers and employers. Our highly skilled workforce is one of our most competitive advantages and in order to maintain this workforce, we must continue to invest in our workers. When you think of cranberries, you think of Ocean Spray. With this grant, workers will be trained to help the company continue to make high-quality cranberry products faster and more cost effectively. And more jobs will come to Southeastern Massachusetts."
  • "The HIT program is yet another tool we use to invest in our workforce and in our businesses. Since its inception, the HIT program has succeeded in matching up out of work individuals with good jobs at companies that are looking to grow. We encourage even more businesses to take advantage of the program."

2005

  • "People want a chance to work so they can build self-sustaining lives instead of relying on a welfare check that will keep them trapped in poverty. By providing support services and incentives where necessary, we want to give welfare recipients the opportunity to achieve independent and fulfilling lives."
  • "The welfare policies that Massachusetts instituted in 1995 were ahead of their time. But, the times have changed and we now lag behind the rest of the nation. To help welfare recipients change their lives for the better, we need to update our laws."
  • "The Citizens Job Bank will boost economic activity in Massachusetts and help companies grow and thrive. Holding the line on taxes and maintaining a business-friendly environment are among our highest priorities to ensure that more people will be working."
  • "The businesses and the jobs that could potentially be created because of this important new law reflect our state's greatest strength – brainpower. That's what we bring to the table and that's what we need to nurture for future job growth and economic success."
  • "Our economy is on the move and we are creating thousands of new jobs, but we need to keep our foot on the gas pedal. I am asking the Legislature to join with me in making sure Massachusetts is competitive when it comes to business growth and job creation."
  • "Bringing new jobs to Massachusetts is a top priority and the partnership with Citizens provides an innovative opportunity for businesses to tap into the state's public and private resources. In just two months, the job bank has added hundreds of jobs for our citizens and helped local businesses grow and thrive."
  • "These funds to train our workforce in cutting edge technologies and workforce efficiencies are absolutely critical to enhancing Massachusetts' competitive edge."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 06-15-2005 Press Release
      • Romney, who announced the grants at Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO), which received a $188,000 grant to train 310 employees.
  • "Our challenge now is to start spreading the news. The manufacturing tax credit is good for cutting edge companies, good for job seekers and great for Massachusetts.
  • "This is a no-brainer. If we make it difficult for businesses to grow, we're not going to have growing businesses. It's time to reform the permitting process in Massachusetts so that we can add jobs and chop away at the red tape that keeps good employers from coming to the Commonwealth."
  • "We need to send a clear message to companies in Massachusetts that we want them to grow and add jobs here. We can't sit around while other states actively recruit our companies to move away. Aggressive marketing efforts will keep more jobs here and will attract companies that want to move to Massachusetts."
  • "A highly-skilled workforce enables our state to compete and thrive in the global economy , and these workforce training grants will help our companies stay on the cutting-edge."
    • Governor Mitt Romney, 11-09-2005 Press Release
      • Romney said during his announcement of the grants at Infinity Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, one of the 73 grant recipients.
  • "Businesses relocate and expand where they have access to well-trained and educated workers, and there is no better investment Massachusetts can make than to sharpen the skills of our employees.

Governor Mitt Romney's Job Policy

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.

John and Cisco:

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 can run against Hollywood and Washington, but Mitt can't mention the battles he had in Massachusetts .

 

Cisco explained his contradiction by saying that Romney changed. He used to be liberal now he is conservative. This just is not a fact, and I am tired of listening to people who get paid to tell us what they think that are too lazy to even read a wikipedia article about the people they are talking about.

 

If Cisco read Mitt Romney's wikipedia article, he would realize that abortion is the only thing Mitt has changed.

 

But people don't believe it. They don't see a conservative could have won in Massachusetts, so they just assume Mitt Romney has changed. The fact of the matter is that Mitt Romney ran on competence, and even people in Massachusetts don't like to pay higher taxes. Even people in Massachusetts don't like gross incompetence. Even people in Massachusetts want someone who did well in school. Mitt Romney graduated at the top of his class with two degrees in Harvard in 5 years. As a baker scholar from Harvard Business school, and Cume Lade from Harvard Law school. The person that Mitt Romney beat for Governor was too liberal even for Massachusetts. People in Massachusetts liked that Romney was able to turn around Bain Capital, hundred of struggling companies, and the 2002 winter Olympics.

 

Cisco needs to read these links:
