Romney Mandates Health Care In Massachusetts

A letter writer refreshes our memory on big-government Romney who began some socialized medicine in Massachusetts.

Governor Romney, a millionaire, who signed the bill into law, declared in that law everyone who made $15,600 a year gross income to be rich enough to buy insurance or pay up to a $229 penalty.

Liddick Will Not Limit Taxes

Another big government liberal who is registered Republican, Morgan Liddick opposes limiting taxes.  Instead of directly saying he is for the status-quo, he write about peripheral issues related to the ballot initiatives.

A real conservative wrote a letter to the editor in response to Liddick's big government prose:
"Liddick raised no valid criticism. Having read www.COtaxreforms.com (unlike Liddick), I'm voting YES on all three — 60, 61 and 101."

Hassan & McInnis

Ali Hassan ran for state treasurer, and had a middling performance at the GOP state convention. Ali didn't qualify to be on the ballot.

It was an unknown of why Ali thought, with no work experience, he could be a legitimate candidate for treasurer of a state. It appears the Hassan's have been pushing so much money to so many connected politicians that they are unable to objectively view reality.

Hassan gave $300,000 to former federal Congressman McInnis for McInnis to write position papers. It is now being reported that McInnis plagiarized the position papers along with many of his speeches in Congress.

The Hasan Family Foundation paid Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis $300,000 to write about water issues and now wants the money back amid accusations of plagiarism.
