Watch the embedded video in the article. After arguing in the debate that the federal government historically funds "transportation"  and "security" for the Olympics, Romney brags that he lobbied, and received from, the department of education money for free tickets!

He brags about aggressively pursuing earmarks from Washington and having connections in Washington. Hypocritically, he claims it is Senators and Congressmen pursuing earmarks for their own states, not governors, whom are real problem. Romney's position boils down to, "Vote for me, I lost!" [in his Senate race to Kennedy.]

He does have a talent for losing!

This is why I shouldn't be on review: I posted a topic about this a half hour ago (which, by the time this is reviewed, won't be posted until later) and it likely won't be accepted until this afternoon. I should be breaking these stories. Tongue

Sorry, how about I make it up to you? This afternoon, a USA Today op-ed from 2009 was revealed in which Romney urged Obama to follow the Massachusetts model of the individual mandate. This is in contrast to the 2012 Romney whom has argued that the individual mandate is great for states, but, not acceptable for the federal government. With Romney, it is all words calculated to win votes with no regards for the Truth.
