Yes, they were "special", why they were considered "special" is beyond me, they never looked all that special when the government had to go in and return a child to his father.

Not that that wonderful law did much in Mass . If one cannot or dosnt want to afford healthcare , telling them they have to dosnt change their situation.
Obviously you don't understand how Mass healthcare works. But hey, it was implemented by Romney.

The rest of your post was incoherent rambling and blabbering on and on and full of expressing hatred towards people who disagree with you. That said, I will address this point.

MA was #47 in the country for percentage of job growth when Romney was governor, BUT this does not take population growth or lack thereof into account. The state's population grew by only about 25,000 - a much slower percentage than job growth. In fact, more than 50,000 new jobs were created (about two new jobs for every resident the state gained and obviously more for every working age resident) and the state's unemployment rate dropped to 4.6%.

Let's compare this to Obama's presidency:

1) Net loss of almost 600,000 jobs in the US

2) The US population has grown by over 8 million

3) Unemployment rate of 8.1%, would be over 11% if not for all the people who have dropped out of the labor force and would be close to 11% even when accounting for baby boomers starting to retire in larger numbers

Bottom line - Rubio was born to people who were allowed to be in the US, so he was not really an anchor baby

Did the recession, the worst since the Great Depression, start under Obama? What jobs bills did the GOP pass after 2010, since that was what they supposedly ran on? And make up your mind on Massachusetts, it being a blue state and all. Romney did NOT grow jobs while he was governor. I know that has got to be frustrating for RWNJs to spin.

I don't have a problem with blue states.

And, yes, MA did grow jobs under Romney. More than 50,000 of them (when the state's population increased by only about 25,000).

Stop the personal attacks. I am not a RWNJ and don't appreciate being referred to as one.
