During a GOP debate on Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Mitt Romney to "drop the pious baloney" after the former Massachusetts governor asserted that for him, "politics is not a career."
"I think it's understandable and perhaps unusual that people who spend their life in politics imagine that if you get in politics that that's all you want to do," Romney said defending his decision not run for re-election as Massachusetts governor. "I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career, running time and time again. I made a difference, I put in place the things I wanted to do."
"Are you going to tell people you're not going to run for re-election for president if you win?" former Pennsylvania Rick Santorum interrupted. "This for me, politics is not a career," Romney, who began running for office in 1994, replied. "For me, my career was being in business. ... I long for a day when, instead of having people who go to Washington for 20 and 30 years, who get elected and then when they lose office, they stay there and they make money as lobbyists or connecting to businesses. I think it stinks."
HAHHAHA PWNED!!!!!!!!!
