In what appears to be an attempt to solidify his support among Tea Party voters, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will deliver a "major spending policy speech" on Friday evening at the Americans for Prosperity's Defending the American Dream Summit in Washington, according to his campaign. On Thursday, Romney will preview his spending policy in Exeter, NH, the campaign confirms.

Americans for Prosperity is a conservative organization originally funded by conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch, and it has helped organize numerous Tea Party events.

Romney, who will serve as the keynote speaker at the summit's Tribute to Ronald Reagan dinner, will be greeted by approximately 3,000 voters on Friday evening, according to Americans for Prosperity's New Hampshire state director Corey Lewandowski. Past keynote speakers have included Senator Jim DeMint and George Will.

"This is an opportunity for Gov. Romney and others, if they chose to come, to meet people from all 50 states. These are the types that want smaller government and economic prosperity. It's a really good opportunity to talk to an audience that they wouldn't have an opportunity to speak to. We're happy to have Gov. Romney," Lewandowski told NBC News.

Let me guess. Lower taxes for the rich and cut regulations as a magical cure all? Fight against elitist unions? Or, maybe he will have a Sista Soulja moment, and push back on the anti-science contingent of the GOP by saying that the Earth probably is not flat.

1. Defending THEIR American Dream Summit. Had to correct that. Carry on.

2. Yes, I too can be a billionaire if only the government cuts taxes even more ....

... and stops all of its regulatory functions.

BUT, I still want all of the air I breathe to be clean, the food I eat to be safe, the water I drink to be contaminant-free, the roads sans-potholes, and effective police, fire protection, EMS, and schools.

The GOP is nothing more than a traveling clown show!

3. There is an old saying... I belive, that in China..

Nearly every man once in his life has to bow before the Emperor, and then entertain him in a way that he will not inadvertantly lose his head.

4. Somebody give him whatever Perry was on.

:rofl:

[Roland99]

5. Probably a coupla "Praise Jay-zus" moments, too. Which will be odd coming from him.

6. Now that Cain has jumped the shark, Romney is trying to get some of that Koch brothers cash.

7. Tea party loosing ground......, Will Koch survive?
