Mitt Romney manipulated by Atlantic reporter into bashing GOP in new book

[tgull]

Was able to go digging in a closet at my parent house and pulled this historical piece of political paraphernalia out. This was from the 1994 Massachusetts republican state convention when Romney was running as the GOP senatorial candidate. I was the president of the high school young republicans at the time.




Romney went on to win the primary but lost the general to Edward Kennedy. Of course, a decade later Romney won the gubernatorial race in Massachusetts. He was one of the architects in Massachusetts' Health Care Reform law which was the first in the nation to mandate health insurance for all citizens and was used as the blueprint for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), one of the greatest federal bills of the past century. I shake my head looking back at what the republican party was back then and what it has turned into now.

Yeah, those George W Bush years were great. Got the USA into two wars, imploded the housing market and the financial crisis happened on his watch. Meanwhile under Trump, the economy roared, Putin was not invading countries, inflation was nothing anyone knew about, you could buy a house at 3% not 8%, Hamas was not butchering 1400 civilians, ISIS was destroyed and China was not threatening to obliterate Taiwan. Oh but wait, Trump's tone, his tone. LOL, its why he ahead in just about every poll over the Alzheimer's guy.
