"All new spending projects should be selected by the responsible federal agency according to published criteria, not by congresspersons and senators based upon favors and politics." --Mitt Romney
Willard explicitly proposed that new spending should be selected by the federal agencies. Handing the Congressional power of the purse over to the bureaucrats is both idiotic and unconstitutional.
Stupid throw away line.

You do realize that selecting a spending project and appropriating money for that project are two different things... right?
For example DOD selects a tanker project. Congress allocates money for the tanker project.
You are twisting Mitt's words.

Well, YOU can see that this just dumps on Republican Senators and Congressmen. But, that's the Mitt I know from living in Massachusetts. The old Mitt song of I can buy myself in, and F the low rent, scruff Republicans that have been getting shelled for years.
Mitt is a vampire for Republicans in general. He shows up, everybody starts dying off. We've already gone through two GOP big tent, no new taxes, compassionate conservatives and had our nation's finances trashed. We don't need another RINO to coup de grace what ever little brand image being a Republican has.
