Romney: ‘I’m a conservative Republican’

WASHINGTON - Eager to position himself as the most conservative GOP presidential hopeful, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney accused Sen. John McCain Monday of being “disingenuous” on gay marriage.

In an interview with The Examiner, Romney described himself as more conservative than Republican rivals McCain, R-Ariz., and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on a variety of issues. “We’re in a different place on immigration; we’re in a different place on campaign reform; we’re in a different place on same–sex marriage; we’re in a different place on the president’s policy on interrogation of detainees,” Romney said.

“I’m a conservative Republican, there’s no question about that,” he said. “I’m at a different place than the other two.”

National Journal’s Hotline, a compendium of insider political analysis, predicted Monday that “Romney will run squarely to the right of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani in what’s fast become a three-man GOP race.”

4. Mitt "BIG LOVE" Romney...yeah, he has a rat's chance in hell!

Sounds like he's been brainwashed, just like his daddy!!!

Poor Mittsy the shittsy, he had to scamper back to that state he goes to for photo ops, what's it called, you know, the one he's nominally the governor of for another month or so...yeah, Massachusetts, that's it!!!....because that explosion in Danvers offers him yet another "put on a hard hat and a stupid fucking worker's vest, and tour the mess" photo op!!! Will he offer any enlightenment or assistance to the beleagered residents in the affected area? Only if the nonpolitical workers at MEMA have thought to give him a list of action items THEY'VE already completed before he ambles along to the site.

He's SUCH A loser....and the ads, why, they write themselves. He's on TAPE from his "watch me bullshit you" last election taking the exact opposite positions that he's now espousing. The lesson at the end of it all? The fucking cretin will do anything--yes, ANYTHING--to win!

Craven, opportunistic, and shameless whore, he is!!!! A creepy Ken doll, writ large!
