By Russell Goldman | ABC News - 4 hrs ago
MANCHESTER, N.H. -Santorum jabbed Romney, portraying him as a coldly
calculating "C.E.O" and not the inspirational leader he said the country
needed. He further slammed Romney, accusing his health care plan of imposing
higher taxes on New Hampshire residents who work in Massachusetts to pay
for the legislation.
"I just don't think it's a skill set for what a president needs. We don't
need a manager," Santorum said at an event hosted by the National Journal
and Atlantic Magazine. "Americans don' want someone to manage Washington.
They want someone to fundamentally change Washington and create a vision of
where America is going. We need someone who will inspire us, create a vision
for us, motivate the American public to do its duty."
Santorum continued his attack, adding that the country "needs someone who is
going to go in there and provide that leadership to take on the big, tough
issues."
"And I don' t think we've seen any record of that or any vision in what Gov.
Romney is trying to promote himself as. He is trying to promote himself as
the guy who can win," he said. "Pyrrhic victories are not victories."
Later, at an event in Amherst, where the crowd was so big, people were moved
outside a grocery store, Santorum kept up the attack citing a newspaper
editorial that claimed the Massachusetts health care legislation Romney
introduced increased taxes for New Hampshire residents who worked in that
state.
"Gov. Romney has raised fees and I was reading this in the Union Leader
yesterday, if you were someone here - if you were a Granite Stater and
working down in Massachusetts … the costs under Romney went up about $500 a
year based on the tax increases that he imposed on the people here in New
Hampshire who interact with the state of Massachusetts. Fees went up, taxes
went up, spending went up," he said. "We saw 'Romneycare' be introduced,
which was the template for 'Obamacare' - that is the reality of the
candidate you want to put up as a contrast?"
Instead Santorum said his policies starkly contrasted with those of
President Obama. |
