Why does Mitt Romney look so pissed every time he makes news talking to voters?
Mitt Romney is at it again, beaming a toxic cocktail of derision and rage at potential voters in a New Hampshire town hall meeting.
If the incident recalls Romney's "corporations are people" outburst in Iowa and gives you deja vu, you can be forgiven—Romeny himself recently confused granite state voters for Iowans, temporarily forgetting what state he was in.
Yesterday Romney threw down with a particularly articulate and persistent questioner in New Hampshire who called Romney out over the proposed "balanced budget amendment" and wanted him to account for the Republican party line that all government spending is evil.
"We have all kinds of programs—Social Security and Medicare—for us to act like we don't take advantage of those and benefit from them, I think is shameful. I wish you would speak to the truth rather than something you think is a platitude, when in fact we do need the government to spend money." the voter said.
Romney retorted, "Of course government provides funds for its people—the citizens. Of course we take care of America when there are natural disasters."
Romney want to talk to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor about that. Cantor (R-VA) wanted the Federal government to refuse to pay for any needed disaster relief from yesterday's earthquake and this weekend's impending hurricane unless there were federal budget cuts made to account for them.
I'm not sure what Romney is going for with his aggro approach to endearing voters, but Republicans should get their story straight—no wonder people are confused on their platform.
