We Love Mitt Romney, Man Boy Love Association:
Romney allowed his office as governor to fund Gay/Lesbian SEX-ED to GRADE-SCHOOL CHILDREN as young as KINDERGARTENERS--with NO PARENTAL NOTIFICATION OR CONSENT! NO U.S. POLITICIAN SHOULD ASSUME SUCH CONTROL OVER CHILDREN/THEIR PARENTS!!

Mitt Romney you Have Broken Us, as always more flip flopping

More flip Flopping from Mitt Romney, do you really want a scumbag like this.

Governor Romney…imposed a slew of fee hikes and tax 'loophole' closures….The largest of these was $259 million worth of fee hikes in FY 2004, the bulk of which came from higher Registry of Deeds fees.  Smaller fee hikes, including higher charges for boaters and golfers, we imposed in FY 2003 and FY 2005.  Romney also sought $128 million worth of so-called tax loophole closures for FY 2004; $70 million for FY 2005; and $170 million for FY 2006, which were later reduced to $85 million due to backlash from business leaders."

"Romney continues to oppose the flat tax with harsh language, calling the tax 'unfair.'"

The Governor would also seek to raise $128 million in revenue by closing corporate tax loopholes (Rick Klein, “Massachusetts Governor’s Proposed Budget Includes Layoffs, New Fees”, Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News, 2/27/2003)

Despite the governor's pledge of no new taxes, his proposal does increase some taxes and fees: The administration says it can collect an additional $70 million by "closing loopholes" in corporate and sales tax rules (Scott Greenberger, “Massachusetts Governor Sets $22.98 Billion Budget Blueprint”, Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News, 1/29/2004)



“…business groups objected so strongly to a proposed $170 million tax increase that Romney snuffed the idea and proposed $85 million instead.” (Alexander Bolton, “Romney’s Tax Record Gets A Closer Look,”  The Hill, 3/27/2007)



Governor Romney even raised taxes on some New Hampshire residents who worked in Massachusetts, taxing their income and their pensions.  Learn more

Mitt Romney Flip Flopping!
This guy will do anything for a vote....

Last week, Bay Windows, a Boston gay newspaper, reprinted excerpts from a letter Romney wrote to the Log Cabin Republicans in 1994, hoping to gain the group’s support in his campaign against the veteran Democratic lawmaker and Massachusetts institution.

“If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern,” Romney wrote. “My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.”

Romney lost that race by a wide margin, but came closer to defeating Kennedy than had any previous challenger in recent memory. Romney’s support for the gay community did not end with his loss, however, as his political aspirations dictated otherwise. At the Boston Gay Pride Parade in 2002, when he ran for governor, he and his running mate Kerry Healey distributed pink fliers stating, “Mitt and Kerry wish you a great Pride weekend.”
Mormons are a Cult!
Please Google this scripture and Read for yourself, what Brigham Young said about blood atonement.

Mormons belive that when Christ died on the cross that it was not enough. And that you had to have Blood Atonement, I belive this comes from the Pitt of Hell!

Brigham Young Blood Atonement Sermon:
Journal of Discourses
Vol. 4, p. 215-221



and suppose that he is overtaken in a gross fault, that he has committed a sin that he knows will deprive him of that exaltation which he desires, and that he cannot attain to it without the shedding of his blood, and also knows that by having his blood shed he will atone for that sin, and be saved and exalted with the Gods, is there a man or woman in this house but what would say, "shed my blood that I may be saved and exalted with the Gods?"

Thank goodness!  It's comforting to know that there's a state out there that isn't duped by nice guy/severely underqualified Mike Huckabee.  (He's not that nice, btw.)  Go Rudy McRomney!
Romney will continue to do good in the western states. Wyoming has more delegates than New Hampshire, two more to be exact. It is no surprise that Romney won in Wyoming. He is, technically, the front runner, for the time being, because he has more delegates selected to go to the national convention than any other republican candidate. It will be interesting to see how he does in the south. Mike Huckabee won zero delegates and placed badly. It appears that Mormonism is more of a positive in the states around Utah which have high Mormon populations.
Scott - do you mean to tell us you are STILL an intolerant, ingnorant religious bigot?  Did all your days in "evangel theology school" teach you that?  Hmmm... I'm not sure your holier than thou attitude is what this nation needs - why don't you check our one of the other religious moron nations like Iran... toodles!
Just about ANYONE can win now that the caucuses are out of ignorant rich Iowa.  The ONLY state in the nation that would elect a Gomer-Goober like Huckabee -a "guy like us" who doesn't even know how to balance his own checkbook - let alone spot Iraq on a map.

You pious Evangel's are making the rest of the nation ill - You DON'T have the corner on God that you think you do - and because of it you are less Christians than anyone else.
Lies and religious bigotry won't stop true Republicans from voting for the best GOP candidate.  Once again Romney shows that he is a full spectrum Republican and top tier state-to-state.  

He also has won the most delegate support so far.

Go Romney!!!
Never underestimate a Republican Actor.  Go Thompson!
By the way, for those of you wondering, only about 11% of Wyoming is LDS- the same percent as in Nevada and Arizona.
Just to let you know Mitt Romney obviousley can maintain his check book a Lot better than most people and he worked hard at his money. Mitt Romney knows what he is doing, and you should too by voting for him and actually Utah does have a lot of mormons and there are actually quite a lot of mormons about everywhere just usally not as much as utah!!! Mitt Romney would have my vote!!
