Liberals? What makes you think I'm a liberal? I think state gov't is too big, town gov't is over-funded, and the national gov't is too knee-jerk. Gov't is great if it does what it is supposed to do, but it more oftenthan not today does not.

Romney, however, said he was going to cut, and he did. Anyone who voted for the jerk and is now surprised at the cuts is a fool- and they shouldn't have voted in the first place.

By the way, I voted for O'Brien and would again for several reasons. 1) she is not a liberal - Romney's spin stuck. She is a moderate and is as against tax increases as Romney. 2) some gov't programs are necessary. I owuld increase library funding, but when everythign else is being cut, libraries are among the first top go. Romney is bad for libraries, as I knew he would be. 3) Romney and his 'team' are selfish, self-centered egotists who want a larger stage. They are using this office as a spingboard for higher office, which I find horrible. O'Brien would have stayed in the office. Romney wants to move up. I find that bad practice in dog catchers and school committees as well as governors.

I have no confidence in Romney. O'Brien knew state govt. She ran to be head of state gov't; Romney ran to make a name for himself.
