EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Mitt Romney stumped with Tea Party favorite Richard Mourdock on Saturday at a barbecue shack here, seeking to link himself with the popular conservative who unseated a longtime Washington incumbent earlier this year.
We gotta get this guy elected to the U.S. Senate,” Romney began his speech at Stepto’s Bar-B-Q Shack, a small restaurant off the main highway in Evansville.
As he praised Mourdock, the state treasurer who defeated six-term senator Dick Lugar in the state’s May Republican primary, he seemed to try to affiliate himself with the Tea Party principles Mourdock played up, like a balanced budget.
“You can’t keep spending massively more than you take in,” Romney said as he explained his five key principles for economic recovery. As the crowd drowned him out in applause, he continued, “A treasurer knows that. A governor knows that.”
“There’s only one place in America that doesn’t seem to understand that you can’t keep spending massively more than you take in every year, and that’s Washington. And one reason we’re both going there is to change Washington,” he said.

Karl Rove’s head’s exploding.
first good move Romney’s made in 3 weeks
How long until Mourdock is denounced as a RINO?
Romney is required to speak highly of Mourcock now that the seniority thing is out of the way.
Never mistake political expediency for actual ideological agreement.
So far Mourcock is only hanging around with a leftwingtard, but that’s how they groom their prey. The question is whether or not Mourcock can last all the way through the election, or will he be jumping at the chance to become a “made man” early (with a convenient Lugar resignation)
Looks like it took about 8 minutes. It was done in a roundabout way so I suspect that's why it took longer than expected.
Not so, mitt has ‘used’ other TP conservatives for his advantage and they had NO PROBLEM bowing to him.
And those that wouldn’t he trashed and LIED about unrelentingly - and once again the voters bowed to him/THE LIAR.
How long will it take clueless mittbots to admit Romney is A LIBERAL?
But Richard Mourdock is not a liberal, dear. Will you be voting for him in November?
OMG!! Did you enjoy the kool aid? I won't even deal with you - you are TOO FAR gone!
The thing I don't understand about “Line in the Sand” Conservatives is “why don't you just commit suicide”?
And that proves how far you are gone! It matches your name - your have NO liberty so you must be dwelling on death!
How long will it take for conservatives to realize that they must organize before the primary begins, and agree on candidate. Forming a circular firing squad and blasting every conservative out of the water got us stuck with mitt.
I think, at this point, that conservatives are too damn stupid to realize that they are the problem.
Conservatives are the same people who can’t be bothered to show up for a village council meeting or volunteer for a seat on the county planning or zoning commission. If you can’t show up to oppose a sidewalk ordinance, how effective do you think you’ll be nationally?
Your actions made mitt. You conceived him. Congratulations.
Well if you wOULD read you would know I wasn’t talking about Richard Mourdock. Feel a NEED to change the subject? Romney is a LIBERAL!
Goodness, no screen name. Calm down. There's no need to go all screeching mad wet hen on me.
So what are Mourdock’s polls like?
And there is NO reason telling me what Richard Mourdock is DEAR!!
Did you really think AVOIDING what I asked worked? And your subsequent avoidance of it, also. Instead you chose to change the subject ONCE AGAIN!
WRONG the mittbots are as well as the immature easily deceived voters. There was NO talking to them as they jumped from flavor to flavor - and they are NOT conservative. Being on a conservative site doesn't make them so. And there is NO agreeing with these putzes.
Conservatives supported and voted for NEWT as FR did, also. The immature come here and DO NOT LISTEN or even care to gain knowledge - it's all about them and 'their flavor' and bragged how they $upported their flavor and NOTHING about America who was THE BEST for America! It didn't enter their mind - too giddy to see who was ahead and then, if need be, ready to jump to another flavor.
Calm down, screen name. You’re way too emotionally involved.
In the first place, every conservative candidate - Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Newt and Santorum - were shot down here on FR. All or any one of them were better than mitt.
JR finally stepped in and started zapping people here when only Newt was left standing after every other candidate was trashed.
That’s a fact.
The reason this happend is because conservatives don’t know how to organize. I’ll stand by that statement until something else proves me otherwise.
You, me and everyone else are getting exactly the candidate they deserve. Mitt is his name. No crying or screaming that it’s unfair will change that. I’ll say it one last time: conservatives don’t know how to organize. If they did, Mitt would not be the candidate. That’s also a fact. You can’t be strong until you recognize your weaknesses.
Have a good evening, no name.
Cheers
'Such tactics' don't work on me, JUGHEAD! But what else do you have - but a POS candidate whose 'accomplishments' are 'Anti- AMERICAN and you feel the need to pose all high and mighty with YOUR INTERPRETATION of my actions when I WILL NOT bow to EVIL. Those who do are a dime a dozen - merely - DEAD FISH - going along with the flow!
So you lose before you even start pumping your godless candidate!
Have a good evening, no name.
Have a good evening, NO values - that you could stand on but fold like a cheap suitcase when your back is against the wall. Wimps aren't known for their strength.
Guess what - the two godless candidates are YOUR PROBLEM - enjoy 'their' game! Suckers are born every minute so they will have their audience/supporters.
