No one should be surprised at Romney for the unscrupulous, duplicitous manner he's demonstrating himself to be. This is why Jim Robinson is so fervent in the vituperative vehemence has for him.

Bishop Etch-A-Sketch strikes again.

I'm shocked I tell you!

Mitt Romney never coddled conservatives. He did not outright say bad things about conservatives, but he never went too far from the moderate lines.

May be to the left-wing fringe, he was a severe conservative.

[Tzimisce]

I think I missed the conservative coddling while I was in the bathroom.....

[VictoryGal]

What a shocker. /sarc

Student loan interest rates are bullshit. It’s a scam. They fixed them at rates 2x higher than average mortgage rates. Then, they make them the only thing not dischargeable in bankruptcy besides taxes.

There is NO competition in the student loan market. The rates are fixed, and WAY WAY above market rate.

Fixing the student loan interest rate problem is a good idea.

Headline: Mitt Romney Starts Betraying The Conservatives He Coddled During The Primaries

This headline shows this Biz Insider never knew Mitt to begin with??? Starts betraying???? (He's never stopped in order to start!!!)

[TLI]

Looks like he started believing the propaganda of his having the nomination all wrapped up.





...oops!





(CBS News) -- Mitt Romney may be the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, but it will be a while before he actually has the delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

Romney currently has 645 delegates, according to CBS News estimates. He now needs 499 more to reach 1144 - the number of delegates a candidate must have to be nominated.

Even though Romney's chief rival, Rick Santorum, has suspended his campaign, states continue to hold primaries. There are five contests on April 24th with 219 delegates at stake; but even if Romney won every single delegate that day he would be far short of 1,144. Wyoming and Missouri are holding conventions before April 24th where Romney may pick up some delegates but even winning all of them wouldn't bring him much closer to the magic number.

Looking ahead, Romney would need to win about 80 percent of the delegates available in the April and May events to possibly clinch on May 29th when Texas holds its primary with 152 delegates at stake. If Romney won 90 percent of the delegates in April and through May 22nd he may still come up short of the 1,144 and need delegates from Texas' primary on May 29th.

Romney is not a Conservative! Vote for him at your own peril!.

[tennmountainman]

Romney did not even attempt to “coddle” conservatives.
He has run a RINO from the very start.

"I fully support the effort to extend the low interest rate on student loans,”

I fully support killing the Marxist stranglehold on credentialing, which would force tuition and fees to drop like a stone.

[AnTiw1]

But...but...but he’s WHITE! And he has the great letter “R” amulet that averts all evil! He would never lie to us...he’s a Christian!! /s

Anyone know where to find which delegates to vote for for Gingrich in Pa. 13th CD tomorrow? I’ve looked on the web, and it is not obvious.

[Still Thinking]

Romney's top advisor already described how in the general election you can just shake the "Etch-a-Sketch" and start over.

So does that mean that if he gets elected and starts acting like a commie ass ("if"?), all we have to do is pick him up and shake him and see if he reboots as a conservative, and if not, repeat till he does?

[Gator113]

We told you so......

"I fully support the effort to extend the low interest rate on student loans,” Romney said at a joint news conference with Florida Senator Marco Rubio. “There was some concern that that would expire halfway through the year, and I support extending the temporary relief on interest rates for students as a result of student loans, obviously, in part because of the extraordinarily poor conditions in the job market.”

Obama's student loan plan is a gift to some of his most rabid supporters -- college faculty and administrators.

By pandering to that same audience, Romney expects that he will be able to win some votes among this crowd.

The sad truth is that it won't gain him a single vote, That he does not appear to realize this suggests that he is a remarkably naive politician.

[MasterGunner01]

Any of the pro-Mittens crowd want to comment? Still think that Mittens is the people's choice to win against Obama? What's the difference between Dr. Evil (Obama) and Mini Me (Romney)? I'm waiting for pro-Mittens supporters to answer how this makes Mittens “more electable” than Obama?

[Lancey Howard]

There is no way to polish this turd Romney.

[MacMattico]

How is this particular issue anti-conservative? My daughter will probably have to take out a student loan and I can get a mortgage at a lower rate. I don't want her rate going up! I don't want it artificially kept down, but still...

It's the schools that have to be reigned in with their outrageous tuition prices! They know the gov’t will up the amount of aid if they increase tuition, so government can't just willy-nilly keep subsidizing their huge increases. Still, it shouldn't effect rates.

[Chgogal]

Uh, exactly when was I coddled?

Just wondering. You would think I would know when i was pandered to?
