Rivals tell Romney to drop 'pious baloney'

[bigtree]

Heh, heh . . .

In a shot at Newt Gingrich and former senator Rick Santorum, a devout Christian conservative, Mr Romney said "someone who isn't a lifelong politician" would have a better shot at beating Barack Obama and underlined "we've got to nominate a leader".

"This for me, politics, is not a career. For me, my career was being in business and starting a business and making it successful. My life's passion has been my family, my faith and my country," he said.

That sparked a tetchy exchange with Mr Gingrich, the former House speaker.

"Can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney. You've been running consistently for years and years and years," he said.

@MittRomney would have been in office since 1995 had he won the Senate race in 1994 - but no - he's not a life-long politician, not at all.

2. he's certain he can balance our books and turn a profit

. . . except the country would end up like the companies his Bain group devastated for their personal aggrandizement.

He is a smug man.
