Letter to the editor to the Boston Globe, 1/4/07
RECENT ARTICLES regarding outgoing Governor Romney's flurry of last-minute court and political appointments (Page A1, Jan. 3; City & Region, Dec. 21) make more and more clear Romney's true nature. He leaves Massachusetts as a typical 11th-hour political hack, despite his opposition to patronage.
Governor Romney leaves with no real record of accomplishment, despite his frequent claims to the contrary. He never met a promise he couldn't break or forget about, he never met an easy and cheap way to score political points he couldn't pass up (see the gay marriage issue, the toll booth issue, and his frequent out-of-state mockery of Massachusetts), and he never held a personal belief he couldn't cast aside when it became politically convenient (see abortion, stem cell research, and - again - gay marriage).
Governor Romney could be announcing his presidential candidacy soon. I hope that most Americans will come to see what we in Massachusetts have known for a while: Mitt Romney is a political con-artist.
