NOT EVEN TRYING TO CONCEAL THE HYPOCRISY

This is pure Romney:

Romney Surrogate Attacks Santorum for Voting the Same Way He Did

... On a conference call Tuesday afternoon, former Missouri senator and Romney surrogate Jim Talent criticized Santorum's support for expanding government spending, including his vote for the Medicare Part D in 2003 -- a program for which Talent himself voted....

Talent's attack comes a day after we had this from another Romney backer:

Virginia's Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell on Monday warned Rick Santorum against demeaning women in the military, following controversial remarks made by the Republican presidential candidate last week.

"I like Rick Santorum a lot, I just disagree with any inference that he might have made that somehow women aren't capable of serving on the front lines and serving in combat positions," McDonnell told CNN....

McDonnell has a daughter who's served in Iraq, and he's praised her service -- though in the master's thesis McDonnell wrote at Regent University, McDonnell said women should avoid working outside the home (just as Santorum did in his 2005 book, It Takes a Family):

At age 34, two years before his first election and two decades before he would run for governor of Virginia, Robert F. McDonnell submitted a master's thesis to the evangelical school he was attending in Virginia Beach in which he described working women and feminists as "detrimental" to the family....

During his 14 years in the General Assembly, McDonnell pursued at least 10 of the policy goals he laid out in that research paper, including abortion restrictions, covenant marriage, school vouchers and tax policies to favor his view of the traditional family. In 2001, he voted against a resolution in support of ending wage discrimination between men and women....

What's next from Team Romney? Chris Christie saying that Santorum is starting to look a little portly in his sweater vests?
