A sincere apology from a former republican (now repug)

Hi DUers.. I'm from Massachusetts and I am very sorry that we have spawned a freaking flip flopper called Romney. He was pro-choice and a liberal. He approved a plan to expand birth control and now he just spoke against Planned Parenthood. Huge flip flop. His wife Ann, even donated to Planned Parenthood. Romney sure isn't the guy we knew. Moreover as you all know by now, Romney hid his millions overseas. That isn't the only sneaky thing he did. When he left Governorship of Massachusetts, he had his cronies buy up all the hard drives from their offices from under our noses. WTF is he hiding from records in MA? We were up in arms over the stealing of Massachusetts history under Romney. But sadly it was unfortunately legal. WTF!? Oh, we do support the poor here as did Romney. Now he don't give a shit about the poor. So obvious he is pandering for votes. But hey, cheers! He is giving Obama lots of easy peasy ammo!
Now I have been lurking in on your board for about 2 years and I have learned a lot from you wonderful DUers. I finally joined about 2 months ago and loving the camaraderie. Just two years ago I was a dumbass and it was hard for me to discern the differences between Repugs and Dems. I see it clear as day and nite thanks to you DUers.

Alaskans had the same experience with regard to Sarah Palin. When she was governor, her public persona was completely different than it was during the presidential campaign -- that's why she had an 80+ percent approval rating here.

Good to know that us Bay Staters aren't alone in getting duped. But the repugs sure have changed since the days of Ike. I sure don't recognize them anymore now that they're so far right. My how times have changed.
