When the Seattle Times endorsed G.W. Bush, I canceled my subscription and never purchased another paper from them. That was my personal response.

that alone proves RMoney's lack of bipartisanship that he wants to kill something that all Dems working together created. Anybody talking about Myth bipartisanship is ompletely full of it.
The Obamacare argument alone proves pure partisanhip & the ad asking voters to elect Mourdock so we can get past Reid/Pelosi control..

"money for himself – cutting state aid to towns while leaving any mandates for e.g. special education in place.
In fact, what I remember most about Mitt Romney being governor is sitting through four years of town meetings of people arguing how to balance their own town budgets – almost every town in the state had to vote in overrides on property tax increases just to keep the schools running. So people who were land-rich and income poor (sound familiar, small business owners and farmers?), paid the price. Anyone who believes in property tax relief knows how much passing the buck to towns makes things worse instead of better.
It’s scary to think what would happen if he gets in the White House and starts “balancing” our national budget. Mary Essary Hoyer, Salem, Iowa"

I remember cities and towns having to override Proposition 2 to get enough funds to run local government, some towns and cities had to override each year. Any one that thinks Romney has answers is a fool, that includes the entire editorial board of the Des Moines Register, I will give them a bit more shout out, they are complete fools.
