Romney: "McCain Is Not As Conservative As Mitt Romney"

By Marc Ambinder

Jan 4 2008, 4:24 PM ET Comment

This web ad is called "Twist":



ANNOUNCER: "Remember? Last time John McCain attacked President Bush's integrity."

JOHN MCCAIN: "His ad twists the truth like Clinton. We're all pretty tired of that."

ANNOUNCER: "Comparing Bush to Clinton? He was wrong then, and he’s wrong about Mitt Romney now.

"The truth? 'McCain is not as conservative as Romney.'

"'He voted against the Bush tax cuts.'

"On immigration, McCain supported this year's amnesty bill.

"Higher taxes, amnesty for illegals.

"That's straight talk for being in Washington too long."

GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY: "I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message."
