Mitt Romney says that if he had to pick a vice presidential candidate that was more conservative than he is, he'd rule out Rick Santorum ... because he's more conservative than Rick Santorum:
Well, that would preclude, of course, Rick Santorum. Because, I mean, look at his record. I find it interesting that he continues to describe himself as the real conservative. This is the guy who voted against right-to-work. This is the guy who voted to fund Planned Parenthood. This is the person who voted to raise the debt ceiling five times? [...] Rick Santorum is not a person who is an economic conservative to my right.
By the end of the clip, Romney realized he'd probably positioned himself too far to the right, and tried to limit his statement to "economic" and "fiscal" ... but that doesn't change the fact that Mitt Romney is once again saying Rick Santorum is too liberal on Planned Parenthood. And when you're proud about being to Rick Santorum's right on Planned Parenthood ... well, you're either the most inauthentic, untrustworthy politician ever, or you're a certified lunatic. Given that Romney
attended a Planned Parenthood fundraiser when he ran for U.S. Senate in 1994, I'll vote for inauthentic and untrustworthy. The only question is: When was he lying?
