Mitt: Tellin' it like it is!
"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Thursday criticized Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton as a European caricature who would turn the United States into a welfare state," GOPUSA reports.
"Speaking to about 200 people in Sioux City, Romney said he wanted to highlight the differences between himself and Clinton, the front-runner for her party's presidential nomination.
"'Her view is the old, classic, European caricature that we describe of big government, big taxation, welfare state,' said the former Massachusetts governor.
"'She gave a speech a couple of days ago and laid out her vision for America. And as I listened to her I figured her platform wouldn't even get her elected in France,' Romney, who was a missionary in France, said to chuckles and applause."
