I learned it from watching you seriously? it's a tactic, and a cheap one, but don;t go claiming it's only a liberal tendency. all i see you saying mike is that you know <b>exactly</b> why you are going to be unhappy after the presidential election. For what it's worth, you're right. “They will use this tactic every time Mitt Romney does not repeat his previous statement verbatim.”

seriously? it’s a tactic, and a cheap one, but don;t go claiming it’s only a liberal tendency.

all i see you saying mike is that you know exactly why you are going to be unhappy after the presidential election. For what it’s worth, you’re right.

I actually supported him at first (not that I voted for him), because in MA it is a damned good idea to give one branch of gov't to the republicans. Romney spent 212 days out of state campaigning last year, and left the state claiming there was a 1 billion dollar surpus... which turned out quickly to be a lie, even before the new gov. restored a bunch of social services he cut during his last week in office. My point? Even if he is a good private businessman, he really really is a terrible Governor. And since the MA constitution was the model for the US constitution, the experience is rather direct - and he sucked. The President is not a CEO, but some of his senior staff ought to be. I'd be glad to see Romney as a chief of staff, or in a cabinet level position, I'd hate to see how little he got done when our nation needs someone so much more effective. okay, mike.

There is nothing contradictory. We have a report from two Boston Globe employees as to why Romney voted for someone 15 years ago. There is no direct quote. 2. I bet if you asked Scott Lehigh, Frank Phillips, or Mitt Romney that those weren’t the only reasons why Romney voted for Tsongas (the fact that Tsongas was from Massachusetts, and that he was better than Bill Clinton). Do you vote for someone because of only two issues? You might only give two issues, when you have limited time, but no one votes for a candidate because of only two issues. 3. Why don’t we take Romney at his word. He voted for Paul Tsongas because he liked him better than Clinton, and that he didn’t think that he would win the general election against Bush? Are these somehow mutually exclusive. 4. The democrats and MSM is going to take everything Romney ever said 10 years ago, tell us it, and then say "however today he says..." blank. They are going to use this tactic weather it contradicted the previous statement or not. They will use this tactic every time Mitt Romney does not repeat his previous statement verbatim. 1.
