Yes, but what Goldy and the Huffington Post are too lazy to research is the fact that after Peabody flooded again in May 2006, Romney announced that he supported spending $2 million of state money on flood control for the town. Wikipedia [214].
Governors have to balance budgets, even with matching federal funds, unlike presidents and their fed chairmans.
As Eliot Weinberger points out on the LRB blog: "He has two other qualifications that he continually reiterates. He was once an elected official, having served a term as governor of Massachusetts, back when he was briefly Moderate Mitt, before becoming ‘severely’ conservative. (His constituents have such fond memories of him that they now overwhelmingly support Obama.) "

"Yes, but what Goldy and the Huffington Post are too lazy to research is the fact that after Peabody flooded again in May 2006, Romney announced that he supported spending $2 million of state money on flood control for the town."
So it only took one flood for him to realize his error?
How ........ Biblical.
@1 only a week left before your slog gig ends. 'Course, thats the paradox, right? You're not that rich, otherwise why take a job posting online for Romney? But once the election is over, you're either stuck trusting in Romney's tender mercies to find you some political appointee job, if he wins, or counting on some type of social safety net to cover your newly jobless ass if Obama wins.
@1 -- If you really feel the need to get beaten and degraded, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will satisfy that need without involving the rest of us.
This a real gay dude here. The other gay dude is missing Mr. Constant's point. Romney only started supporting 2 million in flood control funding after the flood in 2006, after he had witnessed flooding in 2004 and vetoing greater funding that same year. See the problem there? If you don't, please see the bold face type at the end of the paragraph. gg, man.

It's real when it impacts millionaires, donchaknow.
Go Elizabeth Warren!
So, he was waiting to see how much of a federal handout they would get first...what a hypocrite.
