ROMNEY IS IN GOOD COMPANY - IMPORTANT READ
Read below to gain more insight into the political philosophy that a Romney Presidency might bring to this country. An independent observer might say that Governor Romney is more liberal than ex-President Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. So consider the facts before you cast your ballot.
Gov. Rockefeller meets with President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968
Governor Romney said, "worked with a legislature that was 85% Democrat" while Governor of Massachusetts. True enough, but Romney forgets to highlight that although he was a Republican, in fact Romney was and is a RINO - Republican In Name Only. How else do you get elected in Massachusetts? Because you make money does not mean you are a conservative - does anyone call George Soros a conservative because he makes money? They are capitalists only when it suits their bank account, but socialists when they advocate the implementation of their socialist policies. Romneycare is the quintessential example of Governor Romney's liberal persuasion.
The best political comparison to Romney's political philosophy is none other than Governor Rockefeller of New York. Another Republican from the liberal wing, he laid the ground work for more Big Government. And we all know the history of debt laden New York, run by powerful unions. Without their support no politician running for office in New York has a chance - 20% of the people living in New York City are on welfare -1.8 million, another million belong to either the state teachers union or other unions representing state or city workers. Try to get their vote!
One recent quote by the head of New York's MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) during recent labor negotiations. Local 100 President John Samuelson accused the authority of bargaining in "horrific" bad faith. "We don't agree that transit workers should bear the full brunt of wage increases by granting concessions," he said. Calling for a contract that "doesn't diminish our ability to take care of our families. Once again this is the attitude we confront in this years election. Translation , the unions don't give a hoot about the enormous hit taken by the taxpayer and their families during the Obama Depression. Shared sacrifice only goes one way, their way.
The Empire State elected Governor Rockefeller to four terms. A liberal Republican surrounded by more liberal Democrats, Rockefeller was elected governor of New York in 1958 by over 600,000 votes, defeating the incumbent, multi-millionaire W. Averell Harriman, even though 1958 was a banner year for Democrates elsewhere in the nation. Rockefeller vastly increased the state's role in education, environmental protection, transportation, housing, welfare, medical aid, civil rights, and the arts. The most common criticism of Rockefeller’s governorship of New York is that he tried to do too much too fast, vastly increasing the level of state debt which later contributed to New York’s fiscal crisis in 1975 “Rockefeller sought and obtained eight tax increases during his fifteen years in office.” "During his administration, the tax burden rose to a higher level than in any other state, and the incidence of taxation shifted, with a greater share being borne by the individual taxpayer."
