More Mitt Missteps
July 9, 2007
We find additional exaggerations and misstatements by Romney on the campaign trail.
Summary
Out on the campaign trail, Mitt Romney has been boasting of some impressive accomplishments as governor of Massachusetts, while also outlining bold foreign policy proposals. But we found that Romney sometimes alters the past, exaggerates his record and traffics in ambiguous language. We reported earlier on his boasts of issuing hundreds of vetoes, the majority of which were overridden. Here we examine a few more of Romney's dubious statements:
He claims that President Clinton "began to dismantle the military" when it was President George H.W. Bush who started making deep cuts in defense budgets years before Clinton took office.
He claims to have balanced the Massachusetts budget through the elimination of duplicate state agencies when he actually relied mainly upon increases in fees and cuts to education and local aid to do so.
Romney takes credit for submitting state income tax cuts, although income tax rates did not change during his term as governor.

SECDEF Cheney was the architect of that drawdown--I know--I had to work some pretty miserable issues surrounding it when I was in service, and well before Clinton was even elected. By the time Clinton came along, it was in full swing and there was no turning back. The "Three/Five Year Plans" had already been sketched out.

He didn't bother mentioning his line item veto of TUNNEL INSPECTIONS to save money in the MA budget, though, did he? Ya know, the tunnel inspections that might have saved the life of that poor woman who was crushed by a massive concrete ceiling tile??? He was the clown who drew the line through that budgetary item!

He also managed to screw a bunch of elderly people out of the "circuit breaker" tax by lowering the amount their home could be worth to qualify for the tax...as a consequence, a lot of little old ladies who had bought their homes for fifteen or twenty grand fifty years ago were struggling because they didn't get the tax discount because their houses had appreciated beyond the limit.

He's a complete baaaaaastid, that Dogshit Mitt....if he's the nominee, I swear, I'll dress up in a fucking Irish Setter outfit and haunt his ass as the Ghost of Seamus, the Dog Who Was Forced to Ride at 70MPH on the Roof of Mitt's Car for 12 Hours!!!!!

I would never have voted for him anyway, but we need to get this info the those who would!

But he's bought a LOT of New Hampshire commercial airtime--he's determined to win the NH primary, I guess.

He's such a putz...may the ghost of Seamus haunt him every day of his life. I hear a dog in the distance, barking....ROOF...ROOOF! The bastard stuck me on the ROOOOOF, ROOOOOOOOF!!!!!!
