Mitt Romney’s new ad says that too many Republicans "act like Democrats". Quotes:
When Republicans act like Democrats, America loses.
It is time for Republicans to start acting like Republicans.
Of course, this is the same guy who said:
My R doesn’t so much stand for Republican as Reform
Jonathan Martin asked recently why people dislike Romney so much. For me it is not so much that he is dishonest, venal, and hypocritical. I am a political professional. I deal with politicians all the time, and I am used to that. But he is so brazen. I am pretty cynical, but he is too much even for me.

Rudy’s too socially liberal to get away with an ad like this, Fred has too much lobbyist baggage, and McCain’s too much of an amnesty shill. If any one of the big four’s going to do it, and it needs to be done, it’s Mitt. […]
[…] Some like it but some see it as GOP bashing. If the party wants to regain credibility it needs to demonstrate that it can police itself. Otherwise, the party’s unwillingness will lead to more elections like last year. And deservedly so. […]
