(MA)Republican Governor Irked by Terror Warnings

[maddezmom]

BOSTON (Reuters) - The Republican governor of Massachusetts on Monday expressed frustration with the way the federal government tells states about possible terrorism threats that might involve them.



During a speech at a conference on domestic security preparedness, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney described how rumors and a lack of coordination appear to hamper the flow of essential information from Washington to local governments across America.


Romney's criticisms came with a week left in a presidential campaign that has focused heavily on the war in Iraq (news - web sites) and domestic security issues. Republican President Bush (news - web sites) has made his leadership in the war on terror central to his re-election hopes.


Romney said states face an uncoordinated flow of information from the federal government regarding possible terror threats, and he called for a centralized way of advising local governments of such risks.

3. F**k Romney

We're just waiting here in Massachusetts for that no good piece of shit to run for re-election.

The Boston police never endorsed a Democrat for President, until they just did so for Kerry last week.

I belong to the GBLC (Greater Boston Labor Council) of the AFL-CIO. We take political action, and the Boston Police Union is a member.

Wait until that scab, union busting asshole has to run against a Democrat supported by a Democratic President from Massachusetts.

2. Typical, typical repuke back-biting. Just last week...

... Romney was "expressing surprise" that the Bushies have kind of edged him out of the campaign picture.

Now here he is, taking a little dig at The Leader. A bit miffed, Mitt? How very classy of you, keeping it to yourself an' all.

The repugs are going to devour each other after Bush gets kicked out. And I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh and...
