Mitt Romney trashes Ted Cruz-style brinkmanship on government shutdown

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney made a rare foray into current events today to criticize GOP lawmakers — chief among them Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — who are threatening a government shutdown as a way to stall and defund Obamacare.

“I badly want Obamacare to go away, and stripping it of funds has appeal. But we need to exercise great care about any talk of shutting down government,” Romney said in the first speech of its kind since his November election loss to Obama. “What would come next when soldiers aren’t paid, when seniors fear for their Medicare and Social Security, and when the FBI is off duty?”
