Romney: I’m Totally “In Sync” With The Tea Party…

This guy’s a riot . . . wait, he’s serious?

BERLIN, New Hampshire (Reuters) — Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, seen by many as the choice of moderate Republicans in 2012, sought to widen his appeal on Wednesday by saying he was “in sync” with the conservative Tea Party.

Romney met with a group of about 25 steelworkers at a campaign stop in the northern New Hampshire town of Berlin.

The former corporate raider, who has a net worth of about $250 million, got a less rapt reception than at some of his meetings with fellow business professionals.

The workers peppered Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, with questions about why cutting government spending would stimulate the economy, how he would adequately protect Social Security and whether he considered himself a member of the Tea Party.

Romney hedged on the latter question.

“I don’t know that you sign a membership,” he said. “What I consider myself is someone who is in sync with the Tea Party.”

Many Tea Party members don’t see themselves as “in sync” with Romney, however. In Massachusetts he helped author the statewide healthcare mandate that was an inspiration for President Barack Obama’s 2010 national health reforms

Obamacare and Romneycare, as they are derisively referred too, are disliked by the Tea Party as an example of government overreach. Romney has defended the state law while promising to repeal the federal version, should he be elected.

    *sigh* I`m just not in the mood to hear your total BS today Mitt. You may just end up stealing the ‘Flip Flop Crown’ form Lurch Kerry.

    How can we miss you if you won`t go away?

    I caught a few minutes of CNN shilling for Mitt, they want him annointed so bad I think they’ll pee their pants if anyone else is chosen. For that reason don’t vote for him or Paul.

    Mitt is the Democrats dream candidate. Well, dream on you bastards, Mittens won’t be the nominee if the Tea Party has anything to say about.

    I think he meant to say was that he likes listening to N’Sync while drinking tea at parties.

    Another comedy routine! The Tea Party considers Romney as the younger brother of Obama.

    One word: No!

    As in, no, and hell no – you cannot grab the coattails of the Tea Party. From what I’ve read/seen/heard about Romney, he’s one click away from a social democrat.
