There’s no end to the scorn Mitt Romney’s campaign has for Republican primary voters. They’re like a better-funded Huntsman campaign.
Another Romney adviser was more derisive of the Anybody But Mitt Republicans.
“They like preachers,” the adviser said of the tea party demographic. “If you take them to a tent meeting they’ll get whipped into a frenzy. That’s how people like Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich get women to fall into bed with them.”
And from a supporter invited to speak:
Tampa attorney Paul Phillips illustrates the gap. He came to Romney’s Tuesday morning State of the Union pre-buttal dressed for a business meeting, sporting a blue pinstriped suit and a smart polka-dot tie.
“I’m an educated elitist,” Phillips said before Romney spoke in a warehouse that has closed during the economic recession. “I mean seriously, I don’t view the tea party with a very good light. Most of them quote the Constitution and don’t understand it. It’s pretty scary, actually.”
Yeah, it’s totally scary how those people, like, quote the Constitution. And want the government to live within its bounds. Massachusetts liberals like Romney must be free to do for us what they believe is best, surely.
This comes one day after another Romney adviser, Norm Coleman, admitted Mitt Romney wouldn’t repeal all of ObamaCare. Instead he’d take a step-by-step approach, leaving much of it intact.
Your Republican nominee, guys.
