Romney urges default

Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today issued the following statement on the deal to raise the debt ceiling:

“As president, my plan would have produced a budget that was cut, capped and balanced – not one that opens the door to higher taxes and puts defense cuts on the table. President Obama’s leadership failure has pushed the economy to the brink at the eleventh hour and 59th minute. While I appreciate the extraordinarily difficult situation President Obama’s lack of leadership has placed Republican Members of Congress in, I personally cannot support this deal.”

Romney's credibility has been severly diminished over his wavering stands on multiple issues but he retained one theoretical last leg to stand on;

he had 'common sense' on business related issues, now that is gone and he has boarded the 'crazy train' which will have some interesting stops along the way but has no chance of getting to the White House.

5. When will disgruntled "KILL THE BILL" DUers start a Romney Group?

Seems they may have found a new presidential candidate hero.
