Romney thanked supporters at his campaign headquarters in Las Vegas, telling them that, "This isn't the first time you gave me your vote of confidence, but this time I'm going to take it to the White House," alluding to his win in Nevada in 2008.
But then he turned his attention to President Barack Obama, saying Nevada has had enough of his kind of help in fixing its home mortgage crisis and that he failed at bringing down unemployment, saying, "America has also had enough of your kind of help."
Entering the race as front-runner, Romney had largely ignored his Republican rivals and focused on Obama. But as Gingrich rose to challenge him in polls, he was forced to address the other candidates in the race.
His victory speech was a one-on-one with Obama.
"This president began his presidency by apologizing for America. He should now be apologizing to America," Romney told cheering supporters.
Never mind the fact that the "Obama apology tour" nonsense is a lie, the "YOUR kind of help" is code-word racist garbage, and that the President has failed to bring down unemployment is also a massive load of bull. It doesn't matter.
The Republican spin is now "The Red State Recovery."
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), a Mitt Romney surrogate, said Sunday that the improving economic situation is thanks to Republican governors, not President Obama.
"Look, I'm glad the economy is starting to recover but I think it's because of what Republican governors are doing in their states. Not because of the president," McDonnell said on CNN's State of the Union.
"It's been a complete failure of leadership," he said of Obama.
Got that? When the economy is bad, it's because "President Obama's policies are destroying business." When the economy is improving, it's "Republican Governors are leading the way." And President Obama? He's "bribing the voters" with your money.
During his victory speech following the Nevada caucuses, the candidate told a crowd of supporters that voters shouldn’t expect a “free ticket” when he is president.
“I will not attempt to bribe the voters with promises of new programs and new subsidies and ever-increasing checks from government,” Romney declared. “If this election is a bidding war for who can promise the most benefits then I’m not your president. You have that president today.”
“I’m asking each of you to remember how special it is to be an American. I want you to remember why it was that you or your ancestors, who sacrificed to come to America and to overcome the challenges of life in a new country, why they came here. It was not for a free ticket; it was for freedom.”
And those of us whose ancestors didn't have much of a choice when they came here, well, you don't count.
They will never give the President credit. Never. That's because all they have has is lies and they know it. They're counting on America to either believe them or be so turned off they refuse to vote. Either way, they win. That's why taking a President Obama victory for granted in November is a massive mistake. Get out there and counter the lies among your friends and family.
And vote. Your country depends on it.
