Romney to CPAC: I'm "severely conservative".

[DCBob]

from WaPo..

Mitt Romney gave a detailed defense of his own conservative credentials Friday before a convention of right-wing activists, telling them that his life as a businessman and Massachusetts governor had been a series of battles for Republican ideals.

“I know conservatism, because I have lived conservatism,” Romney told a packed ballroom at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in a speech in which he underlined the point by saying “conservative” or “conservatism” 24 times. At some points, even those words weren’t strong enough: Romney called himself a “severely” conservative governor in Massachusetts.

What a dumb comment. Maybe he meant I'm severely constipated.

It sounds like a desperate insincere plea.. which it is. Apparently his speech did not help him with the cons at all. This guy simply is unable to fake being a conservative. He doesnt even have the lingo down.

1. Did he have a whip and tight vinyl shorts?

[DCBob]

7. Ugh.. I dont like the visual of that.

[Cali_Democrat]

2. LOL...this guy is so pathetic

He's a joke.

[DCBob]

5. Yes he is.. which is why I think I prefer he to be our opponent.

I am convinced we can beat this guy.

3. and it fell very very flat

[DCBob]

4. He may have done more harm than good.

12. The Romney 5 step

One step forward

Two steps back

One step to the bank

One step to kick yourself in the ass.

[Drunken Irishman]

6. Yes, Mitt! KEEP RUNNING TO THE RIGHT! Associate yourself with those right-wing nutjob racists!

Make yourself even more unelectable.

[DCBob]

8. Yep, this is benefit of of the Santorum surge.

Mittens will have to move right and in so doing will alienate the Independents/moderates. He is really in a box.

[El Supremo]

9. ...

[DCBob]

10. HA!

I could almost hear him saying something like that.

[JDPriestly]

17. dumb things I haven't said yet -- is how it should read.

He will say a lot more dumb things before he is finished.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. I would consider most conservatives "severe".

It's a severe mental state of being.

[provis99]

13. I guess Mitt is a "naughty barbarian" type of conservative...

[applegrove]

14. The win is begining to slip away.

[neverforget]

15. severly inauthentic more like it

[MADem]

16. Severely followed by a "c" word?

I'm thinking constipated. He sure looks that way to me!

[Kennah]

18. What is Christofascist, Alex.

[davidpdx]

19. I'll tell you what he is

*does best Hawkeye Pierce intimidation* he's seriously demented.

[geckosfeet]

20. Well he sure as hell ain't a progressive or liberal.

So what is he?

I'll buy Independent. Maybe even libertarian. He sure seems to have the money/capitalistic piece of it tied down.

21. That sounds like a disease

[BREMPRO]

22. loved Mark Shields comment about this...

i'm paraphrasing but something like -"audiences who hear him speak are begging and pleading to hear him say something they don't like" lol! he just can't bring himself to not tell an audience what the want to hear.. can u say PANDERING... he looks less and less authentic every day.. understand why conservatives aren't "in love" with him ha ha!. .. you call yourself SEVERELY conservative to appeal to the wolfs at cpac?? really? what a dumb thing to say...

[Ikonoklast]

23. Oh, my, I read that as "severely constipated".

Which also explains a lot about Mittens, actually.

[RoninNY]

24. Sieg hiel was too cliche.

He was warned that Seig hiel was too 'old fashioned'.

[whistler162]

25. Maybe he should try one of these.....

27. I don't think that Mittens has any problem with constapation...

He seems to have no problem dumping on his Repugs

I think he has a bigger problem with the constitution. he seems to overlook some parts. He really is a good RePUG. I mean you all have to think about how the how the constitution fits into today and all the problems that man be somewhat instead of saying it won't work. I always thought that was the realm of the Supremes.

But I think that the GOP can give up anybody for the election and Barack Obama, his actions so far and his color will govern this election. I think that this go-around his color may be the biggest factor with indies and repubs.

[mikekohr]

29. I Digress, he's obviously full of it.

[Odin2005]

26. You can't make this stuff up!!!

[patrice]

28. If Kobach endorsed him, it's the "hand over your papers, or else!!" branch of conservatives.
