If you are like me, you are probably still poking your finger in your ear trying to figure out if you heard Mitt Romney correctly when he called himself a “Severely conservative Republican.” That one goes in the gaffe hall of fame for numerous reasons. Here is a new radio ad that my organization AmericanLP has going up on ABC Radio in Michigan later this week.<\/p>\n
Who is Mitt Romney?<\/p>\n
Voiceover from Romney ‘I was a severely conservative Republican.’<\/p>\n
Severely conservative???<\/p>\n
The word ‘severely’ is most commonly used to describe the following: Disabled, depressed, ill, limited, injured.<\/p>\n
So, Michigan conservatives, Mitt Romney basically thinks conservatism is like a ‘disease.’<\/p>\n
If you’re a moderate\/independent Michigan Republican, how do you feel about a politician who doesn’t believe in anything, but implies, ‘I’ll pretend to be a diseased extremist, even if I think it’s crazy?’<\/p>\n
Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney was a great Michigan governor who always spoke his mind. He stood up to his church and GOP extremists regarding civil rights.<\/p>\n
But Mitt Romney? Has he ever stood up for something unpopular?<\/p>\n
Mitt Romney, he’s not his father’s son. Mitt Romney thinks he can ‘brain wash’ the rest of us.<\/p>\n
