Thank you. I get so tired, reading blatant lies on the Web by fake journalists who find it’s better to increase ratings than report the truth. The only respectable news on this webpage are your comments.

Thanks,

Governor Mitt Romney on the Current Environmental Debate
Friday, Feb 23, 2007

Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on the current environmental debate. Saying that South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was right on this issue, he continued:
“Unfortunately, some in the Republican Party are embracing the radical environmental 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.”

Governor Romney opposed mandatory, Kyoto-like “global warming” regulations in Massachusetts, opting instead for voluntary, pro-growth measures to increase energy efficiency of businesses, reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment with the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan.

I do.

“It merely says he thought there were ways to have a clean economy that doesn’t kill business.”

Yeah, and he said that in the context of DEFENDING a cap-and-trade policy.

“Yeah politicians changing positions…just a shocking development.”

Strawman alert. “Politicians changing positions” can definitely be mockable and criticism-inducing, but who said such a thing was “shocking?”
