On Friday Gov. Mitt Romney spoke to the National Rifle Association meeting in St. Louis. Just below we are publishing excerpts from that address. Scroll farther down for the full text. Take your pick or read both. As the general election campaign opens, these words are clearly a key part of Romney's philosophical foundation.
Here are the excerpts:
"The framework of law created by the Declaration and the Constitution is the source of our greatness. It has generated unparalleled opportunity and prosperity. Our Founders understood this, which is why they created a system of government that is limited.
"This President is moving us away from our Founders’ vision. Instead of limited government, he is leading us toward limited freedom and limited opportunity.....

Whooaaa!!!...that’s hitting him hard Mitt!!!
what a joke this guy is.
It’s a COUP, you dumb $hit. Why don’t you grow a pair and call it what it is?
Pot, meet kettle.
I think Bishop Romney is getting the Founding Fathers mixed up with the founder of Mormonism (Joseph Smith). He doens’t care about the founding fathers....he cares more about Joseph Smith who wanted to RULE America. Scary guy!
Funny ... I didn’t know that Obama was a “Christian” LDS member ...
He should talk. Romney’s record in office was about as far away from the Framers’ vision as one can get.
