Romney to CPAC: ‘I Was a Severely Conservative Republican Governor’
PJ Media ^ | February 10, 2012 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 02/10/2012 12:48:28 PM PST by C19fan

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) made a concerted effort to woo a conservative crowd today by talking about his opposition to gay marriage even before plans to slash the deficit.

He also peppered his speech before a full house at CPAC with the word “conservative,” frequently in the form of “we conservatives.”

“I did some of the very things conservatism is designed for… and I’m not ashamed to say I was successful in doing it,” Romney said for his first standing ovation, and his longest round of applause.

When he said ‘I Was a Severely Conservative Republican Governor’, how many people chocked to death, or laughed till they fell on the floor?

When this was mentioned today on the radio, I thought as you did. “Severely”? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

Who in the hell is giving this moron advice?

“Severely conservative”?

Geezus. Please, Rick, get in the zone and send this clown back to the place he belongs, along with McLame and Dol(t)e.

How about “stauch”, or “unwavering”, or “congenital” (props to Safire)......anything other than “severely”.

Damn, this Romney idiot has more problems than a....fill in the blank.

What’s chilling to me is that he might actually BELIEVE HIS OWN bs.

He does, and he's got the underwear to prove it!

Why does Romney always sound as if he’s pleading with the American people?

I think he meant “severely constipated”.

                                                   the only thing worse than being a chump, is not knowing you are one ...

My good friend John McQueeg and I stand before you, severely [thinking you stupid enough to believe I'm] conservative ...

Voting for RINOs regionally can be good strategy. Voting for them as President means giving up on conservatism for the entire country. It’s the difference between a strategic retreat and surrender.

Severely=too (as in too much of a conservative)

There's nothing positive about the word "severe"

His true colors show

Maybe he meant to say he was a "severely conflicted Republican governor" and misread the teleprompter.

Kind of like..

"I am ridiculously conservative"

"I am disgustingly conservative".

"I am astonishingly religious"

"I am like a conservative on crack"

"I am grossly conservative"

Although, none of those play into Dem talking points as well as "severely conservative"

His SILENCE on the Second Amendment is deafening.

That is as much a litums test of a true conservative as Gay Marriage and abortion.
