Not only were these miners forced by their employer to stand behind Mitt Romney, they were off work without pay and forced to contribute to Mitt Romney’s campaign.

 

On every issue in this election, Mitt Romney tells you what he thinks you want to hear, changing his positions depending on the crowd he’s talking to. The next day his campaign reps state that what Mitt said the day before was not his true position. Too bad this walking back never gets to the people who heard the original statement.

Mitt’s now campaigning on his record in Massachusetts? Don’t believe it. Why is Mitt Romney not ahead in his home state? He’ll probably lose the state by 30 points, that’s a recommendation that America should listen to.

According to Rick Holmes of the MetroWest Daily News, Rep. David Linsky told him that Mitt was such an elitist in office that he did the following:

• He put a velvet rope across the door to keep people from walking into the governor’s offices
• He commandeered an elevator for his exclusive use

Also,  as reported today by Danny Hakim of the New York Times: As Massachusetts Governor, Romney Was Often Away

BOSTON — When the ceiling collapsed in the Big Dig tunnel here, Gov. Mitt Romney was at his vacation home in New Hampshire. When the Bush administration warned that the nation was at high risk of a terror attack in December 2003, he was at his Utah retreat. And for much of the time the legislature was negotiating changes to his landmark health care bill, he was on the road.

During Mr. Romney’s four-year term as governor of Massachusetts, he cumulatively spent more than a year — part or all of 417 days — out of the state, according to a review of his schedule and other records. More than 70 percent of that time was spent on personal or political trips unrelated to his job, a New York Times analysis found.

Listen to Rachel Maddow explain the walking back of Mitt Romney’s positions, proving that you can’t believe a word he says, he’ll lie straight to your face without blinking.  This is a man without conviction and absolutely no integrity. Anyone who backs his presidency should be ashamed of themselves for attempting to force this hollow man on the American public.
