More government subsidies and redistribution of wealth that may or may not get any source of funding or add to the debt. The latest in what's sure to be a long, ongoing series from Mitt Romney and his "No Hope for Change" campaign.
“I think the old standby definitions of who votes for which party have been blown away in this campaign. I think people recognize that I’m not a partisan Republican—that I’m someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive.”
-Mitt Romney (2002)

Obama continued: “I am somebody who is no doubt progressive. I believe in a tax code that we need to make more fair. I believe in universal health care. I believe in making college affordable. I believe in paying our teachers more money. I believe in early childhood education. I believe in a whole lot of things that make me progressive.”
-Barack Obama

There was a nice moment on the FOX News WSJ editorial board show yesterday where one of their staff profusely thanked Newt Gingrich for being in the race, helping to keep the race interesting and helping to improve the eventual nominee.
This has to do with college. But homeschooled students will be better-prepared and more able to shake down scholarships.
Another reason...oh, well, you know already.
Good for Romney! I think it’s rather clever of him. Use the left’s tactics against them! Keep your agenda vague, muddy the waters for the rats, make your enemies confused and disoriented until after the elections! The rats have all the tools at their disposal — msm —to pin their enemies down and brand them to their liking. The best thing to do to shield yourself is to camouflage, dissimulate, and disorient the enemy! I kinda like his strategy!
Shake shake shake. Mitt Morphs into obama on college loans.
Obama and Romney agree on a lot more than they disagree on
Vote for Barack ORomney! Because voting for a socialist is better than wasting your vote on a true conservative!
/do I need it?
Well, if Mitt gets elected, he can bypass Tea Party House and Senate members and push his big-government liberalism with a coalition of RINOs and Dems.
Because, after all, with Beltway Dems and Pubbies, being in power is not about determining the size of government but who gets the lions share of the political booty. But those Tea Party rubes, well, they're SERIOUS about shrinking government and therefore the size of the swag. So the RINOs would rather lose to the Dems than win with the Tea Party.
Santorum was right on the money when as one of his issues discussing the need for a College degree
Right now the public and particularly conservatives are being badgered to take in Romney when during his campaign and after he has not made real effort to appear on most conservative talk shows or approach tea party groups. He’s got some talkies carrying water for him only to move 10 feet forward and find another 5 gallon pail to pick up on some lib position he’s dropped off. From No So Fast Mr.Romney

This extension of reduced student loan interest rates was going to pass no matter what. Romney took the whole touchy feely portion of the education issue off the table. Now he can slam Obama on the graduate jobless rate, exploding tuition and the 85% failure to launch rate.
As I’ve been saying or awhile, in the unlikely event Mitt Romney is elected, his role is to consolidate the socialist gains of Barack Obama. Not hard to do with an R by his name, and a Congress full of Romney Republicans.
