ROMNEYISMS: Mitt vs. Paul

The Romney Campaign Releases its Talking Points About Ryanomics:

Mitt Romney has hired himself a great speaker, a Hollywood star of a Veep candidate.  Just one problem, while Mitt has embraced Ryanomics, the public hates Paul Ryan’s economic proposals read the public opinion polls.

Mitt:

“I think it’d be marvelous if the Senate were to pick up Paul Ryan’s budget and to adopt it and pass it along to the president,”

“I spent a good deal of time with Congressman Ryan. When his plan came out, I applauded it as an important step,”

“(Ryan’s) proposals and the ones I’ve outlined in my campaign are very much on the same page,”

Mitt’s Campaign’s New Talking Points:

1) Does this mean Mitt Romney is adopting the Paul Ryan plan?

· Gov. Romney applauds Paul Ryan for going in the right direction with his budget, and as president he will be putting together his own plan for cutting the deficit and putting the budget on a path to balance.

· Romney’s administration will go through the budget line by line and ask two questions: Can we afford it? And, if not, should we borrow money from China to pay for it?

· Mitt Romney will start with the easiest cut of all: Obamacare, a trillion-dollar entitlement we don’t want and can’t afford.

· Mitt Romney also laid out commonsense reforms that will make good on our promises to today’s seniors and save Social Security and Medicare for future generations.

2) Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have different views on some policy areas — like Medicare spending, entitlement reform, labor, etc. — do you think those differences are going to hurt or help?

· Of course they aren’t going to have the same view on every issue. But they both share the view that this election is a choice about two fundamentally different paths for this country. President Obama has taken America down a path of debt and decline. Romney and Ryan believe in a path for America that leads to more jobs, less debt and smaller government. So, while you might find an issue or two where they might not agree, they are in complete agreement on the direction that they want to lead America
