” - - - What does it matter what he said?”

If a politician does not say, or does not write that he will cut Baseline Federal Spending, then I assume that he not only has NO plans to do so, but that he is not even AWARE that it is a problem to even think about.

Pre-FDR, the word “Liberal” meant someone who is generous. FDR was a Socialist, so he could not call his “New Deal” a Socialist movement, so he used the term “Liberal” instead, thus changing the meaning of a perfectly good word into the disastrous term that it is today.

The “Liberal” solution from FDR to now is to “keep throwing money at the problem until it goes away.” Now, 15 TRILLION dollars in debt, the Liberals are scraping their fecal Federal fingers bloody at the bottom of the Federal Empty Reserve barrel. Their solution? Easy, just keep on making the barrel bigger by increasing the National Debt Ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only by reducing the size and spending of the US Federal Government will America be able to heal itself from the death grip of the Fecal Federal Touch.

My hypothesis is that politicians who do not recognize that America has a problem caused by limitless Federal spending are “Liberals” in the FDR sense of the word. Romney, to me, appears to be a Liberal.

BTW, you and I are probably on the same page on what a politician is: “A politician is anyone whose word cannot be trusted.” Remember GHWB? “Read my lips, no new taxes.”

You didn’t get it.

OF COURSE Romney said that he will cut federal spending because it is what you wanted to hear.

But it does not matter what he says because he is all things to all people.
