Script For "I Like Vetoes" (TV:30):
GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "If I'm elected President, I'm going to cap non-defense discretionary spending at inflation minus one percent.
"That would save $300 billion in 10 years.
"And if Congress sends me a budget that exceeds that cap, I will veto that budget.
"And I know how to veto. I like vetoes. I've vetoed hundreds of spending appropriations as Governor.
"And frankly, I can't wait to get my hands on Washington!
"I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message."
Liking vetoes is one safe way for conservative candidates to contrast themselves against President Bush, without offending conservative voters.
