My God, who does Mitt Romney think he's fooling?
I've been reading about Romney's sudden turn around on his position on abortion and if I were from Massachusetts, I'd have a lynch mob mentality right now. I'd be coming down the street with a five strand hemp and a torch. Surely he doesn't think this little stunt is going to help his political career?

Flip flop is an understatement. Please tell me his poll numbers are heading toward Terra del Fuego.

2. His numbers in Massachusetts suck
But he's not planning to run for reelection. It's not official, but he currently couldn't get elected dog catcher in MA. No, he's got his eyes on the White House.

When the Mittens-for-President comes to your home town, remember this about him.

5. You miss the point.....
Romney has bigger intentions than being Gov of Mass. He will be a reuke contender come 08.

On edit: BARF.

8. and you miss the point as well
There is a bigger chance of me rooting for the Red Sox than for Romney to be the GOP nominee in 2008.

11. Yeah right....I bet you thought the same thing when
that carpetbagger came back to Mass and won the Governorship.

Cause if you didn't I did, I also thought that no way in hell would this country elect a stupid, silver spoon in mouth, coke spoon up nose frat boy drunk as its president.

I was wrong then too.

6. A feel an empathy for you guys in Massachusetts
I get tired of people who make cracks about California.

I was furious when Bush made his nasty "Massachusetts Liberal" crack during the debates with Kerry. Kerry should have torn his head off and shit down his neck for that comment.

We are proud of it. Look for a Dem governor coming up soon.

10. Sorry, I have no empathy for Mass.,
nor do I empathize with anyone in my home state of Floriduh. We allowed these morans to be elected. I know I didn't fight hard enough in Florida during the gubernatorial race and the democratic party here, like nationally, is too busy infighting to really support decent candidates.

How the liberal state of Massachusetts, which I proudly called home in the 80s, could elect this neocon fascist as governor is beyond me.

Even my sister, a diehard liberal, voted for him because she couldn't stand the Democratic nominee.

ON the national level, we all know we were cheated out of the presidency. But on the state level, I just don't know. I think people's stupidity got these morons in.

Here in FL, people overwhelmingly voted for all the amendments that Jeb!! was against, but voted for Jeb!! Go figure that one out.

No one should be surprised that Mitt (what kind of name is that, anyway; it's like Jeb!!) is being a fascist. The question is, what is the democratic party in Massachusetts doing to elect a democrat as governor when Mitt launches his presidential run.

7. I think that they promised that spot to McCain
I read somewhere on the Internet that insiders who know McCain were promised that if he was a loyal Repuke and endorsed Bush, all would be forgiven and forgotten and he would get the nomination in 2008. However, there is one little condition. Jeb must be his VP.

Whatever would make a man sell-out after being treated the way he was in 2000, if is wasn't for power?
