"Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush," Romney says in the ad footage. An announcer then intones, "If we can't trust Mitt Romney on Ronald Reagan, how can we trust him to lead America?"
(AP, 2/5/08) - McCain had eased up on his criticism of the former Massachusetts governor since winning the primary in Florida last week and had begun acting like a general election candidate, focusing his harsh rhetoric on Democratic rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
But with hours to go before voting began in more than 20 states from coast to coast, McCain unloaded on Romney.
The 30-second ad airing on national cable television shows Romney distancing himself from Ronald Reagan, patron saint of modern conservatism, in a 1994 debate when he was challenging Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
"Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush," Romney says in the ad footage. An announcer then intones, "If we can't trust Mitt Romney on Ronald Reagan, how can we trust him to lead America?"
McCain also ratcheted up the rhetoric during an interview with the CBS Evening News. Asked about his opponents' weaknesses, the Arizona senator reverted to the caricature of Romney as a flip-flopper. "He's had literally at least two positions on every major issue," McCain said.
McInsane becoming desperate. He is an evil man.
That's...pretty damned weak stuff coming from someone who spent the Reagan years getting involved with the Keating Five scandal.
Wow, FREE PRESS for McAmnesty by the LameStream Media?!? I am AMAZED! < \SARCASM>
“McInsane becoming desperate. He is an evil man.”
Senator McCain and Governor Romney:
A wolf and a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I don’t watch much TV, but I saw a McCain commercial last night and part of it showed him in a picture with Reagan. As if he Reagan would approve of McCain’s nutty, left-wing politics. He’s a sleaze, using Reagan like that.

Do you have a source and link for this article you have posted in your first response?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
I WILL vote for McCain when the “killer bees” finally get here.
I really hope for good news tonight. Romney isn't my idea of a great candidate, but McCain is just so awful.
He’s a sleaze, using Reagan like that.

Yes, that’s also my opinion of RINO Romney ...
John! That's not as bad as cozying up to Teddy in 2004!!!
No, I was talking about McLoony.
But I wasnt
Yeah, I shudder at the thought of McCain getting the nomination. And it is indeed gross, Reagan would never approve of the type of Republican who cozies up to the likes of Kennedy and Feingold.
