DeMint claims Romney personally pledged support for pushing tea party agenda in first 100 daysDeMint claims Romney personally pledged support for pushing tea party agenda in first 100 days
by Jed Lewison South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, one of the most conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate, says that if Republicans win in November, the tea party agenda will be the Republican agenda—and that Mitt Romney has personally pledged his support, even if it means he'd be a one-term president: “If we get the (Senate) majority and the White House, we have got to pass a budget that sets up the structure, through reconciliation, to repeal Obamacare by killing the mandate,” he says. He also wants to “totally redo our tax code,” put “Medicare on a sustainable course,” and “deal with Social Security.” But should Republicans win then stumble, “it’d be betrayal to our country.”
“We need to do it in the first 100 days,” DeMint says. “(Mitt) Romney has told me, face to face, that he knows that he needs to get these things done right away. He is looking at this as a one-term proposition.” Maybe DeMint's lying, but given that what he's describing sounds an awful lot like the Ryan plan, I wouldn't bet on it. Whatever the case, it's a question Romney should answer. Publicly. If he's pledged his support to pursuing Jim DeMint's tea party agenda, he should own up to it before the fact. Not after, when it's too late. - more - http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/02/1116143/-DeMint-claims-Romney-personally-pledged-support-for-pushing-tea-party-agenda-in-first-100-days Another Senator, another claim that Romney has to address.

8. The question is
|
Who is lying this time? DeMint and Romney are both pathetic liars, but if Romney did make such an promise, it will piss off a lot of the more moderate voters, and should rally independents and the left into making sure this moron does not win the WH!
The thing with Romney is he promise everyone something, and if they are dumb enough to believe him, will that's their mistake!  |
