Rhetoric
Romney's crack PR team put out the following release on April 7, 2003.
Romney wins student support for higher education plan
Accepts petition signed by UMass, state and community college students
Student leaders today showed their support for (the Fraud Governor's) higher education reorganization plan by presenting him with a petition signed by hundreds of students ... The petition was circulated over the past five days by members of Students for Higher Education Reform and the University of Massachusetts Republican Club. Last month, the Student Government Association at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst endorsed Romney's higher education reorganization. (snip)
Reality
One day later, the Student Government Association called Romney a liar. The Student Government Association at UMASS-Amherst has not come out for or against the shakeup. Student speaker Dan Saunders said "I'm really kind of baffled as to where this came from. We'd be very disappointed if anybody is trying to use the SGA as a PR tool."

Dan Saunders = disappointed
Romney = fraud
