Rep. Jeff Flake has credibility on economic and fiscal issues. He is a close associate of Rep. Paul Ryan. He was one of the few Republicans who stood up to Bush’s big government Compassionate Conservatism. In a shocking move, he has endorsed Mitt Romney who comes from the Rockefeller Progressive wing of the GOP.
“I am proud to announce Congressman Flake’s support,” said Mitt Romney. “Having such a strong advocate for the taxpayer on my Arizona team will be crucial as I reach out to voters across the state and spread my pro-growth message.”
“This election will be an important moment in our nation’s history,” said Congressman Flake. “The next president will be charged with reversing the failed policies of the last three years and making sure the future is as bright for our children as it was for the generations before them. Mitt Romney has the experience and vision to get our country on the right path again. Whether it was his time as governor or as a successful businessman, Mitt Romney has shown that he has the economic knowledge to create the environment for businesses to start hiring again.”
Rep. Flakes endorsement is a shocker. How can he back a candidate like Mitt Romney who is an economic and fiscal Liberal?
Did he sell out?
