ATLANTA - Mitt Romney says he's a better tea party candidate than his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination.
The former Massachusetts governor lashed out at Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum on Wednesday, the day after losing contests in Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado.
Romney says his opponents are members of a Republican Party that had lost its way. He says spending on lawmakers' pet projects doubled under Gingrich, a former House speaker. He says Santorum, a former senator, was a major proponent of that type of spending.
Romney says the tea party movement was created to fight Washington insiders who spend too much and that Santorum and Gingrich "are the very Republicans who acted like Democrats."

Right. Who has the Bishop Willard Romney clown face image?
Please report. The bishop has given up character assassination for stand up comedy.

The video says it all. Just what I thought, Santorum and Romney are double teaming Newt.
By splitting the anti-Romney vote they are making it impossible for conservatives to get the percentages needed to look good on the charts.
The thing that shocked the GOP-e is that Santorum out-shined the target yesterday. Doesn't bode well for the Romulan.

I know Mormons aren't supposed to ingest anything that the church deems as harmful to the body, such as coffee. They are also held to account by the church in the way they live. If Romney actually believes his own words re the best TEA party candidate he's either on something that causes delusions or he's a liar. In either case, he fails the expected standard of the Mormon religion. I am not passing judgement on the man but obviously he puts politics above his faith.

Your video needs to have it’s own thread.

It's really revealing and shocking when you see a conservative Republican support a moderate Republican (Romney) who happens to be running against a liberal (McLame) Republican. Shocking I say!
Wait a minute. Didn't pretty much all conservatives support the more conservative of the two? Well, I guess it's not so shocking or revealing after all!
