Mitt Romney sent a clear, unambiguous message to hundreds of conservative activists gathered for the 2012 Conservative Political Action Committee, the largest annual gathering of conservative activists.

He’s a conservative.

The man mocked as a “Massachusetts moderate” (or worse) by his Republican presidential rivals used his family values, business background and experience as Massachusetts governor to defend his conservative bona fides.

Romney used the word conservative more than 20 times in a span of 25 minutes.

[jimbo123]

Mittens and his advisors are delusional.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

He doesn’t have a clue what it means.

[Noumenon]

He can say that he’s a conservative as much as he pleases. His record tells the only story that’s worth listening to.

[pallis]

Liberals lie, and Mittens is a liberal.

[JSDude1]

He thinks its all about messaging-the real problem for Romnehy is (after the Tea Party): We are tired of being lied to by the MSM and our “grand poobahs”. -J.S.

[exist]

he thinks conservative grassroots are so stupid if he just says it a bunch of times we’ll fall in line.

[Ingtar]

Obama used the word, “Jobs” dozens of times in the state of the union and proposed nothing to create a single one. This is the same.

Exactly. Words are cheap. We must judge these guys on their actions. Romney governed as a leftist moderate, not as a conservative.

[crosshairs]

If you tell a lie long enough, people start believing it as the truth.

[SierraWasp]

The empty boxcar rattles the loudest!!!

[drypowder]

Now resorting to the subliminal, Mitt tries wooing the crowd with his every word of BS.

“Romney used the word conservative more than 20 times in a span of 25 minutes.”

Santorum made him do it. But the Democrats would rather see Romney become president than either Gingrich or Santorum because they think that Romney would be less likely to undo the Democrat entitlement agenda.

[Venturer]

Here is a man with all the money in the world, a good looking wife, two or three nice homes.

WTF does he want to be President for?

[Spunky]

"Romney used the word conservative more than 20 times in a span of 25 minutes."

If I recall it was Rush this morning who said that Mitt even used the word EXTREME conservative. Rush said he has never before heard someone call themselves EXTREME conservative.

Romney is delusional.

[Graybeard58]

He’s a conservative.

Compared to whom?

Not one soul that I can think of.

[Proud2BeRight]

He can say he is an NFL quarterback, astronaut, or Smokey Bear but it doesn’t mean he is them.

[JediJones]

Methinks that Mitt Hussein Obamney doth protest too much.

[Spunky]

"WTF does he want to be President for?"

For the power and GLORY of it.

I am reminded of my father's admonition;

"You can't talk yourself out of something you acted your way into."

Sorry, Mitt. Saying you're a conservative doesn't make up for not acting like one.
