The Blame Game Continues

So, after decades of doing everything in their power to create an environment hostile to business owners (and home owners, and, well, anyone with a job), the state's Democratic leadership now has the nerve to blame Governor Romney for business deciding to pull up their tent stakes and seek a more business-friendly environment in which to operate.

As Gov. Mitt Romney was named president of the Republican Governors Association in California, Massachusetts Democrats excoriated him for boosting his national image while ignoring the state'’s business base.

"We have a governor who started running for president the day after he was elected governor," said Democratic State Committee Chairman Phil Johnston, joined outside the State House by other Democrats who rapped Romney for failing to live up to his promise to be a salesman for the state to attract businesses, spur the economy and create jobs.


Who's buying this crap? This is coming from the same "progressive" movement that wants to charge people a tax for the privilege of driving into downtown Boston. But, somehow it's Romney's fault that people don't feel confident bringing their business operations here?

"People have left Massachusetts to some extent to find jobs, and I think that is a real blight on the administration," said Sen. Pamela Resor (D-Acton), vice chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Labor and Workforce Development.


This baseless rhetoric is just business as usual for these medicated dedicated solons. The depths of depravity of theMassachusettss General Court ceased to amaze me long ago.

WARNING: The following paragraph contains statements of logic, truth, and common sense, and it comes from a Massachusetts state legislator. Just wanted to warn you ahead of time to prevent any sudden shock you might experience.

But Bradley Jones (R-North Reading) countered that Romney'’s economic reforms have been thwarted by Democratic state lawmakers. "The Democratic legislature has the ability to do what it wants, introduce what it wants and pass what it wants either with the governor'’s support or over the governor'’s objection."


True, but pointing out the bleeding obvious like that won't help them propel their Golden Boy, Tom Reilly, into the corner office. Besides, they're legislators, they can't be held responsible for their actions, or as is more often the case, their inactions.

Meanwhile, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick said, "I think he should resign. All around the state, almost every (business) person I'’ve talked to said they'’ve never had a conversation with him."


For the record, I have never had a conversation with Deval Patrick. By his logic, not only should I not vote for him, but he shouldn't even be in the race.

What a bunch of assclowns.
