Reporting from Washington—

"Mitt Romney is a conservative. He said so himself, over and over again in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington today.

The Republican presidential hopeful, ahead in the delegate race but smarting from losses on Tuesday in three state contests, described himself as a "severely conservative Republican governor" and a businessman whose principles were rooted in his family and his faith."

It reminds me of the phrase "profoundly retarded."

Hey, have you ever seen that montage of Mitt saying "I really love this country" over and over again?

He loves providing us with his "assurances."

In this instance, it means desperate.

LOL...that's for damn sure. I mean, is "severely" the kind of adverb that a conservative would take as "complimentary" to the adjective "conservative"!?!?!?

"severely depressed"..."severely wounded"...."severely disabled"...."severely mentally handicapped"????
 
we could say Romney's speech writer got his adverbs and adjectives mixed up, but that still is a most unusual use of the word.

I think it's more like Severely Constipated. :rofl:
 
Most people realize that if you have to use adjectives like 'severely' to convince others about your conservatism (or anything else) you're probably lying.

Mitt Romney has never had the trust or support of the conservative core of the Republican party and he is getting a bit desperate. Conservatives see Romney as a 'used car salesman' who will say anything to 'sell' you, then act as if he never saw you before, once he seals the deal. In this, Romney is much like Barack Obama, who makes nice speeches then does the opposite of whatever he says he'll do (see my signature). Unfortunately for both Romney and Obama, their respective constituencies are getting wise - and moving away from them. This will likely give the Republicans a fairly conservative candidate and the independents, disappointed with Obama's promises and failures, will abandon him in the general election, electing the Republican candidate.

Who do you think the conservative candidate will be?

I'm at a loss myself.

Um speak for your own loony right

Obama's constituents knew he was a centrist who leaned right on defense from the outset.
