"And she still finds time to <em>tell the accountant to</em> document the expenses for the horse<em>s</em> so Mittens can write it off the taxes."

MA Gov has the line-item veto, so he vetoed 8 parts of it, all of which were overturned.

The latest installment of <a href="http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/fact-checker\/post\/mitt-romneys-massachusetts-record-proof-of-strong-leadership\/2012\/06\/12\/gJQArQUQXV_blog.html" target="_blank">Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity</a> (volume 22!!!) has a link to a WaPo <a href="http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/fact-checker\/post\/mitt-romneys-massachusetts-record-proof-of-strong-leadership\/2012\/06\/12\/gJQArQUQXV_blog.html" target="_blank">fact-check</a> wherein they point out that Romney's claim that his Massachusetts record shows he led the legislature to bipartisan agreement is basically entirely false. He issued 800 vetoes, 700 of which were overturned by the Democratic supermajority in the legislature, including 8 Romneycare-related strikes.

Really Romneycare happened as much despite him as because of him, but he likes to claim credit because otherwise the only other thing of any note in his term is the shitty job numbers that he invents absurd standards to try to disguise.
