According to today's Globe Mitt Romney has been boasting before the troglydytes of Missouri and South Carolina that he "saved" Massachusetts from an entirely spurious three billion dollar shortfall without raising taxes.
Well, the record shows he raised 1.5 billion in fees and then suddenly within two years we had a surplus in Massachusetts thus demosntrated the Governor's original budget figures were raving nonsense.
However, that is not Humble Elias' point this morning, no he thinks it is hilarious that Mitt is trying to curry favor in Spartanburg South Carolina by claiming to have saved Massachusetts. His target demographic in the upcoming Republican Primaries couldn't care less about the Salvation of this Proud Commonwealth and would if they could happily dissolve Massachusetts and sell off the citizenry into slavery.
If you don't believe, check out the Yahoo Discussion Boards the next time their News Summary so much as mentions the Commonwealth, the cries go up for slaughter and slavery thick and fast...and if Hurricane Wilma somehow comes ashore here, the only things well can expect from fine christian Republicans of Missouri etc are ardent prayers that Wilma regain her category five status.
All this is yet another example of Willard's staggering political naivete'...if he was smart he'd resign and claim he was kidnapped and forced to act as Governor until he could escape and return to red state safety.
