RICHARD VIGUERIE TOOK NOTE THAT
MITT ROMNEY SPOKE TO THE
CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL ACTION
CONFERENCE (CPAC) YESTERDAY
RICHARD A. VIGUERIE
The Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com points out that he has been in "conservative politics at the national level" for fifty years. Here he is (above) in his role as conservative fundraiser, photographed for the October 30, 1978, issue of BUSINESS WEEK (p. 158).
Chairman Viguerie wishes to inform the Governor that "Mitt, you may have the words of conservatism right, but you just don't have the tune." The offending remark? Romney's description of himself, in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), as "severely conservative"; in full, that he was "a severely conservative governor of Massachusetts." It was reported that there was "much head-shaking in the hotel ballroom...." (The "severely" is not to be found in the official transcript.) The headline response: "Richard Viguerie Says Mitt Romney is A Severe Conservative Impersonator."
Today Mitt Romney won the CPAC presidential straw poll, 38% to 31% for Rick Santorum, 15% for Newt Gingrich, and 12% for Ron Paul.
