And his legislation as governor was fine. His state policy were nothing like his proposed federal policies when he ran for the presidency.

He left vacation early to veto an emergency contraception bill.

He vetoed an $8 minimum wage.

He introduced a Christian created Abstinence-only education program

Public school funding dropped while he proposed more money for private schools

Mass was 47th in job creation under romneys tenor

His health care legislation was garbage. Creating the predecessor to the national fines for not having insurance, as well as vetoing bills that would provide dental and eye care for impoverished residents.

He was with Bain capital before becoming governor. That right there should’ve been reason enough to not vote for the guy.

I know mass is a liberal state now, but the state needs to be real with itself and not act like it’s always been that way.

Romney actually did something decent: He implemented what was latet called Obamacare, and showed that it worked. But nobody calls it Romneycare.

And it’s not even Obama care. Paul Ryan rewrote what was presented as “Obamacare” and basically turned it into Romney care
