Romney: get rid of “Liberal Washington”

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and former presidential candidate, starts out attacking the Washington Post and the New York Times, then he goes on a tear against “Liberal Washington.”

“Is government spending – excluding inflation – liberal or conservative if it doubles since 1980? — It’s liberal! We need change all right – change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big government liberals and elect John McCain!

I guess he read my cover story from a while back.

“And I have one more recommendation for energy conservation — let’s keep Al Gore’s private jet on the ground!”

“Did you hear any Democrats talk last week about the threat from radical, violent Jihad? Republicans believe that there is good and evil in the world. Ronald Reagan called-out the Evil Empire. George Bush labeled the terror-sponsor states the Axis of Evil. And at Saddleback, after Barak Obama dodged and ducked every direct question, John McCain hit the nail on the head: radical violent Islam is evil, and he will defeat it!”

(Loud chants of USA!! USA!!)

“President McCain and Vice President Palin will keep America as it has always been — the hope of the Earth!”
