Romney: "we do not celebrate government" (Why does Mitt hate America?)

Romney quotes from yesterday:

“We celebrate achievement in this country, we do not celebrate government,” Romney said.

"This is an extraordinary record of failure," Romney said. "The president's policies are not working because he thinks government makes America work. He is wrong."

Why the hell is he running for President if he's anti-government?

Actually, Romney is anti-American government, but pro-foreign governments. I mean, he just praised Israel and Poland.

At least that's where his app said he's from. Maybe that's where he pays taxes.
