Rick Santorum responded to Mitt Romney’s accusations — and a new ad — which claim Santorum is an “economic lightweight” while Romney is an “economic heavyweight.”
“If Mitt Romney’s an economic heavyweight, we’re in trouble,” Santorum said Sunday on ABC’s This Week, “because we was 47th out of 50 in job creation in the state of Massachusetts when he was governor.”
And again, for Mitt Romney to say he’s the economic heavyweight — this is a man who doesn’t understand conservative principles. Conservatives don’t go out there and say, I’m going to create jobs and I’m going to change the economy, I’m going to manage the economy. Just the opposite. What we believe in is getting government out of the way, creating opportunity, and let the private sector do these things.
