Romney: 'Virtually Eliminate' Department of Agriculture
Posted by Michael Link on June 28, 2007 at 04:20 PM
Time for another Romney flip-flop? It has now come to light that in his failed race against Senator Kennedy, Mitt Romney called for the "virtual elimination" of the Department of Agriculture. He also voiced his support for gutting farm subsidies.
With Iowa an important primary state, it's no wonder his website doesn't feature his position on agricultural issues.
How big of a deal is this? Well, here's the giant headline treatment Matt Drudge gave to this story with Kerry back in 2004 (via the old Caucus Cooler).

I love how you state that, and then strategically place it in this section of the people section. Cmon, you can't come up with something better than that.
Oh, and that is not what he said. I am surprised you didn't say anything about the 250,000 he would eventually cut from the US Government.
Cat got your tongue? Cmon spit it out. The US Government is not and should not be an employment agency. But I guess you did not mention that, because ole Al Gore brought that up and the Dems are bound and determined to get him in the race. What the man is saying is cut wasteful spending. The Reps just as the Dems has plenty of wasteful spending. So I am not standing up for the Reps or the Dems on this one. But there are many areas we can cut our governments spending. Not the Military though, since that is a piece of the pie the Dems always want to chew on
