Mitt Romney: I’m Running With Paul Ryan, But Not On The Ryan Budget

[joshcryer]

Within minutes of physically embracing his new running mate Paul Ryan on a Norfolk, Va., stage, Mitt Romney was distancing himself from Ryan’s controversial House budget proposal.

...

Gov. Romney applauds Paul Ryan for going in the right direction with his budget, and as president he will be putting together his own plan for cutting the deficit and putting the budget on a path to balance.

Romney’s administration will go through the budget line by line and ask two questions: Can we afford it? And, if not, should we borrow money from China to pay for it?

Mitt Romney will start with the easiest cut of all: Obamacare, a trillion-dollar entitlement we don’t want and can’t afford.

[Chemisse]

2. Typical Romney.

Always trying to have it both ways.

3. That's what he thinks

I expect Mr. Axelrod has other ideas..

4. Didn't Rmoney claim that he supported the Ryan budget a few months ago?

I seem to recall that happening, quite often in fact...

Another flip-flop from the Rmoney team?

8. Yes, and in this case, it appears Romney flopped before he even flipped

5. Dude, you're ON CAMERA saying that you support the shitty budget. n/t

6. This guy need a MENTAL test he lies like its not even a problem

[Arkana]

7. That's bullshit, Mitt!

You already said it would be "mahvelous" if the Congress adopted the Ryan budget. Nice fucking try. Obama hasn't let you get away with any of this so far--you REALLY think he's gonna let you just walk away on this one?

[Graybeard]

9. Keep shakin' the Etch-A-Sketch.

It doesn't matter what Mitt said before. In his mind that goes away when he shakes the Etch-A-Sketch. See? It's gone.

Romney is a sicko.
