Romney struggles to explain how he lost 5 million jobs

If Mitt did so well with Massachusetts, why is he running 18 points behind there?

Why did he last only one term? Why did he raise taxes, er, "fees" by $500 million and then lie about the fact that "he didn't increase taxes"? (I've heard the Righties here squealing for years about the increased fees on vehicle registrations as being "tax increases", so obviously that little subterfuge doesn't work any better here than it did in Massachusetts.) Why did the unemployment go from 36th to 47th in his term of office? Budget surplus?

Oh, yeah, and how come he's running 18 points behind there?

Because Masachussets is one of the most liberal states in the nation?

So, apparently the whole fabricated narrative about "how well RMoney did in Massachusetts" is total GOTP fantasy...

Thanks...

Nope, under 5% unemployment is true, just like an average of over 8% unemployment for the last four years under Obama.

And aanother lie from Obama, he promised to cut the debt in half instead of adding 5 trillion to it. And he promised to cut unemployment to 5% or he would be a one term president. Not enough tough enough to be like a man and let someone else run in his place.

You Dems must give great yearly reviews, failed on unemployment numbers, debt decrease promises, increased instead of decreased poverty, did nothing about global warming, but lets give him four more years American can't afford.

And the fact that they went from 36th to 47th is true.... Hmmmmmm

You know those are job creation numbers not unemployment numbers so it looks like you need an economics course again.

That's not even comparing apples and oranges...that's comparing two totally different universes. Different times...different economies....really Fred, you thought that argument soul fly?

I knew you were going to mention that as an excuse. And yet, Romney was elected Governor.

Uh, actually, no he "didn't promise" to cut unemployment to 5%.... Uh, no, actually, he didn't "promise to cut the debt in half." That's just the usual bullsh*t talking points that you've repeated so often you actually believe them... I put those in the same category as: "Jeep is moving all its production to China."....i.e., it's a LIE....
