“Mitt Romney may not be the conservative champion we’ve all been waiting for (and how!), but in an election year in which the economy needs to be the primary issue and the very fiscal future of the United States hangs in the balance, what America needs right now is a businessman who truly understands and respects free markets as a powerful force for worldwide prosperity, wealth, happiness, efficiency, innovation, and all manner of good things that big government can only achieve at a sub-par level, if at all.”
Conservative - LOL!! In the same article saying Newt's a rino??? They are reeking of DESPERATION!!
Mitt Romney is no businessman.
Romney’s conduct at Bain Capital was to capitalism like a junkyard is to automobile manufacturing.
Romney made money by investing in companies, leveraging them up with debt, and then selling them off for scrap, allowing Bain’s investors to walk away with huge profits while the companies/stockholders wound up in bankruptcy, laying off workers and reneging on benefits. People who formerly worked for Mitt Romney describe him as the meanest, nastiest man for whom they’ve ever worked.
Steven Jobs was no cupcake and could be cruel to his employees too, but he created lots of things people want to buy and literally created an economic sector in the U.S.A., or damn near it!
Both above are considered capitalism, but one is preferable because it creates jobs and economically enables the future. Romney did nothing of the sort.
This writer is utterly clueless. Mitt has very little understanding of Capitalism. If Mitt truly understood Capitalism he would not have done 90% of what he did in MA.
Mitt worships at the Alter of State Power. This writer is ignorant beyond words.
ALL of Mitts time in government illustrated a vile man who loves to grow the State at the expense of the Capitalist system. Mitt's DNA is wired to view the State as inherently good.
Mitt has an obsession with AGW and Carbon control. I guarantee that he would greatly increase the power of the EPA.
If this writer believes that Mitt will take on "big government" then she will be sorely disappointed.
Mitt does not deserve the vote of ANY Conservative, because at the end of his term, things will likely not have improved, the debt will still be skyrocketing and all the media and the RATs will rant 24/7 "see the hard-core Conservative actions by Mitt Romney have been an absolute failure. Conservative ideas are damaging the Country."
Then in 2016 another Statist in the RAT party will continue the decline.
