Mitt Romney says Rick Santorum is an unprincipled political hack

Mitt Romney says Rick Santorum is an unprincipled political hack

by Jed Lewison

Mitt Romney today, trying to capitalize on Rick Santorum's admission last night that he voted for No Child Left Behind even though "it was against the principles [he] believed in" because it was Bush's top priority and sometimes you "take one for the team, for the leader."

"I don’t know if I had ever seen a politician explain in so many ways why he voted against his principles," Romney added.

Mitt Romney in 2005, explaining why he governed as a pro-choice Republican even though supporting abortion rights violated his own principles:

Because Massachusetts is decidedly prochoice, I have respected the state's democratically held view. I have not attempted to impose my own views on the prochoice majority.

Moral of the story? Mitt Romney thinks Rick Santorum is as principled as Mitt Romney.

new levels. He not only has terrible ideas as they all do but he's personally revolting, in his demeanor and his entire being.
