Romney Rips Paul Ryan: Calls Running Mate’s Vote For Defense Cuts ‘A Big Mistake’

MITT ROMNEY: Well, I want to maintain defense spending at the current level of the GDP. I don’t want to keep bringing it down as the president’s doing. This sequestration idea of the White House, which is cutting our defense, I think is an extraordinary miscalculation in the wrong direction.

DAVID GREGORY: Republican leaders agreed to that deal to the extend the debt ceiling.

MITT ROMNEY: And that’s a big mistake. I thought it was a mistake on the part of the White House to propose it. I think it was a mistake for Republicans to go along with it.

1. Do his handlers need to remind him who his running mate is?

6. That's what you get when you have your underlings (underpaid ones, at that)

choose your "help" for you ...

It's no wonder why McCain went with Palin after looking at Romney's tax returns ...

3. Paul "Barney Google" Ryan is gumming up Romney's campaign. Bet he is cursing the day his

advisors recommended Barney just like McCain's headache Sarah Palin.

4. Now Ryan is saying he didn't vote for them.

On MtP, he claimed he never voted for defense cuts. In the budget. That he voted for.
