Michael Graham: Fascist Piglet

by AltHippo @ 11:43 am. Filed under 2008 Elections

With no apologies to fascist fabulist Jonah G, I present the scribblings of radio host, and 1992 Pat Buchanan supporter Michael G:

It’s bizarre. Romney isn’t a contentious, pick-a-fight kind of guy. He was by every estimate a competent governor. Not a miracle worker, not a moron. The state was in demonstrably better shape when he left then when he was elected — and he gave the Left a mandatory health care policy. Why the animus?

I don’t have empirical data, but the anecdotal is overwhelming: Mitt Romney hurt Massachusetts’ feelings. He came, he won, he left to run for president. As juvenile as it may sound, quite a few Massachusetts folks act like a jilted bride when it comes to Romney.

It’s true that a poke-you-in-the-eye guy (Bush) is more obviously annoying than a shoot-you-in-the-back kind of guy (Mittens).

Willard M. Nero fiddled while the tech bubble burst in Boston. I watched as myself and people I was close to saw their jobs vacuumed out of Boston and moved to Mumbai and Calcutta. His greatest asset (pre-election) was his close work with VC’s, a relationship he promised to use to attract businesses to the area. After he was elected he announced his first priority was not the economy (I don’t recall him even discussing the economy again), but to enact a death penalty for Massachusetts.

Later, he fought tooth and nail against gay marriage, despite popular support, and support in the Massachusetts legislature.

I’ll give him the health care plan, although that was put together too late to help me when the dot com company I worked for went broke.

    Mitt Romney is an egotistical bigot. The fact that while he was failing as governor of Massachusetts he was nationally fundraising for his Presidential bid is appalling. America needs to wise-up. For the truth about gay marriage check out our trailer. Produced to educate & defuse the controversy it has a way of opening closed minds & provides some sanity on the issue: www.OUTTAKEonline.com The truth will set them free…

How blind we are getting pretty soon history will repeat itself like (all the great nations fall) maybe its our turn. Thanks Michael for doing a great Job. I wish I could express myself as well as you.Mick Rommney I dont know much about but I sure he would do a good job as president or vp. A lot better than o..bomb.. him. Its a sad day when we have teachers like Chruchhill teaching our precious children. I have so much to say and not enough time. thanks michael for your great show
