AS GOVERNOR ROMNEY SOUGHT EARMARKS!

If you will recall recent 'slams' directed toward Rick Santorum by Mitt Romney referencing Santorum's Earmarks you'd think Romney had a spotless record about the Eramark situation.

Far from it! Read an exerpt from an AP article by Andrew Miga:

"When Romney was governor and his state was desperately seeking federal dollars to repair crumbling roads and bridges, his administration suggested earmarks for projects to lawmakers on Capitol Hill who were in a position to request the money.


Romney officials specified projects they wanted included as earmarks in the transportation bill to members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation as the measure moved through Congress, said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.

"The Romney administration was crystal clear on earmarks and what they wanted," McGovern said. "They sent us a letter specifically asking for money to be earmarked for projects.""

It would appear that Romney may not be as ingenious as he would like peoplem to think!  Pastor Lee
