With this revelation and the announcement today by Boehner that BOcare is the law of the land, there's no difference between the two partys. They willfully mislead the citizens of this country for their own self interest.
With the consent of Republican leaders, Mitt Romney has further eroded the trust of the American people.
Beginning in 2004, they created a half dozen PACs to give money to conservative and GOP entities all over the country. I've reviewed these disclosures and hundreds of GOP and conservative entities benefitted from Romney's largess. In other words, he bought the support of many "conservative leaders" and used that support to give himself "cred" among conservative voters. It was a phony image though and it's shameful that so many conservative leaders went along with this ruse.
As a result, Romney's liberal record on taxes (yes, he taxed the corporate world in Massachusetts), Cap and Trade (first in the nation!), gay marriage, gay rights, quotas, gun control, immigration, etc, etc. was little known outside of Massachusetts because many of America's leading conservatives decided to portray him as someone he wasn't. Even a number of prominent right to life and national pro-family groups and leaders made a decision to remake Romney as a conservative even though they knew he was not. I should know; I briefed many of them about Romney's record. Had the conservative leadership told the truth about Romney's record as Governor, it's likely he wouldn't have won the GOP nomination.
And why is that relevant? Well, Romney's liberal record so compromised him that he was unable to attack Obama on a whole range of issues due to fear of Obama using his own positions from just a few years earlier to make him look like a hypocrite. Whether its Cap and Trade, ObamaCare, gun control, gays in the military, religious freedom or even illegal aliens, Romney took these issues off the table because his own record on these issues was not dissimilar to the Obama record. |
