RMoney spouts hypocritical nonsense...once again [View all]

And Romney promised that if the people of places like Stratham elect him president, then "the era of big government will really be over."
Of course, there is one little thing worth pointing out about the farm from which Romney spoke:

[INDENT]It's owned by Doug and Stella Scamman, two former Republican state representatives. In 2004, George W. Bush held a large rally at the site during his reelection bid. And in 2010, an effort to preserve the farm using federal funds was successfully championed by a Romney supporter and the Republican chair of Stratham's Board of Selectman, David Canada.
That effort resulted in the Scamman farm receiving $950,000 through the Federal Farm and Ranch Land Protection Grant. The federal funds were matched by contributions from the town.[/INDENT]

But other than the part about being completely full of shit, everything that Romney said was quite eloquent.
