Mitt Romney: Cassidy can make sure we have “balance in Washington”
Governor Mitt Romney was in Louisiana this morning raising money for Bill Cassidy for Congress. Before the breakfast event, Governor Romney spoke with WWL in New Orleans to discuss why he supports Bill Cassidy, the danger of Cazyoux giving Nancy Pelosi a supermajority in the House, and Governor Jindal’s place in the next Presidential campaign.
When asked about the danger of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi achieving a supermajority vote in Congress, Governor Romney said:
“Our democracy was structured in such a way, as to put the brakes on some extreme policies and to keep, if you will, the monsters in each party Republican and Democrat from having sway in Washington. I am absolutely concerned that if you had a very super majority in both houses along with a Democratic President, that you see very unusual pieces of legislation.
One of which that is being supported by Don Cazayoux which is very strange thing, that Bill Cassidy strongly opposes, is the idea of taking away from workers the right to a free and private ballot — the right of privacy. Don Cazayoux wants to just say that if a union wants to organize at a particular place of work that the other employees don’t get to vote on it. And that’s really a frightening thing in my opinion and it’s something which I think would happen if you have a supermajority vote.
I think you’d likewise see – they’ll take over our health care system with a socialized medicine style plan. I think you’d see a great expansion of government. For that, among other reasons, you know I’m going around the country campaigning for people like Bill Cassidy to try and make sure that we do have some balance in Washington.”
