Romney: Rivals "Act Like Democrats" 
------------------------------------



Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is seeking to revive his campaign
after losing to Santorum in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. Speaking
in Atlanta, Romney said both Santorum and Newt Gingrich had acted like
Democrats while in political office.

Mitt Romney: "Republicans spent too much money, borrowed too much money,
earmarked too much, and Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have to be held
accountable. This is one of the reasons the Tea Party grew up, of
course, is that people were unhappy about incumbents, people who had
spent their careers in Washington borrowing, spending, and earmarking.
And they said look we want to, we want to throw the guys out that have
been there too long and bring in some new faces. And in this race, I'm
the only guy that hasn't spent time in Washington. And Senator Santorum
and Speaker Gingrich, they are the very Republicans who acted like
Democrats. And when Republicans act like Democrats, they lose."
