So Romney trots out his mythical bi-partisan success in Massachusetts again tonight. One question:

[bluesbassman]

How in the hell did he have a bi-partisan relationship with the 85% Democrat Legislature when he vetoed 800 bills and nearly all of those vetoes were overridden?

[Angry Dragon]

1. To a republican if they do not get 100% of what they want

it is working with the other side

[bluesbassman]

2. Good point.

I'm sure he probably took credit for the bills anyway, so that counts too.

[0rganism]

3. he did take credit - no probably about it

Hell, he took credit for an educational system that had been excelling for a decade before he took office.

7. Yeah, but it was working and he didn't fix it. That IS a minor success for a rethug. nt

[Lugnut]

4. He lies.

That he's so good at it scares the living crap out of me.

5. Compare that to Obama's two (2) vetoes, nine (9) less than GWB's 11 vetoes.

In contrast, FDR vetoed 372 regular vetoes and 263 pocket vetoes -- 635 total of which 9 were overridden.

Romney was working with Democrats in his legislature. That is much easier than working with a Republican legislature -- especially one full of Teabaggers.

6. GIVE Obama an 85% DEM Congress and WE'LL SEE REAL CHANGE> nt
