The Romney Myth

[Ian David]

Friday, June 29, 2007

After almost a week of cloying copy that amounted to wasting newsprint that might have ben better used in training a puppy, The Globe has captured the political essence of Mitt Romney. There is a good reason he's known in these parts as Fraudo.

While the animal cruelty story will (rightly) get increasing national attention, the Romney "record" in Massachusetts is now in one easy place for all to see. Some highlights:

* Romney was state shopping because ''he wants a position with enough national exposure to launch a presidential campaign;''
* He set up a campaign operation and hired staff, all the while telling anyone who would listen that he would not challenge incumbent Jane Swift;
* The devoted family man cut off his wife as she was declaring her "qualms" about what a return to Massachusetts after three years in Utah would do to her multiple sclerosis;
* He filed taxes in and claimed his "primary residence" in Utah, then amended that claim when he decided to run in Massachusetts resident.

And that was BEFORE he was elected to office on the promise to clean up waste, fraud and mismanagement.

2. I am no fan of Mittens but

the Mass high court ruled in Mitt's favor on the residency thing- not that I agreed with that.
And what the hell is this about affecting his wife's MS? Can someone substantiate how the move would be bad for it?
