It didn't take the Rino long to abandon conservatism after his opposition dropped out of the race

This is shaping up to be 2008 all over again. The lesser of 2 evils. The sad part is if we had a conservative (not Newt) who can make the case and who’s quick enough to counter all the mud that AxelGrease and the DNC will throw at him, he’d be walking away with it.

Keynes' theories remain the essential guide to understanding recessions.As long as the powers that be believe this we are doomed. Keynesian 'solutions' have never been applied more enthusiastically than by FDR and Obama. They have resulted in the two worst economic records in the nation's history.

The 2012 GOP platform for conservatives: close your eyes, hold your nose, plug your ears, shut your mouth, and turn off your brain.

No, they don't.

When you read what Romney actually said in this article, it does not justify the headline. Romney was talking about the rate of deficit reduction. He said that 1 trillion reduction would be too much in a recession. He is probably correct about this.
Romney is not endorsing Keynesian economics here. This is a hit job designed to discourage conservatives (who do not read what he said).

Surprise, surprise, surprise! A hit job. Who’da thunk it?

It didn't take long for the despicable socialist pig to show his true colors.

Some of us have seen through Mutt from the beginning. No significant economic change of the type we need will happen in a Romney presidency.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.

I’m glad you pointed this out. The article is deliberately misleading and is a hit job for people who read no further than the headline and first paragraph.

Government spending is false GDP.Real GDP comes only from the private sector.

Just so everyone knows-- Romney didn't say this. The author did.

You one of those post-before-reading FReepers?
To: Clara Lou
After all the build up, the actual thing said by Mitt quite underwhelms our expectation that he is going to out himself at any moment as another huge tax and spend liberal. He wants to retire the deficit at a rate more slowly than 5% of GDP per year until the recession is over. And Mitt never says anything about Keynesian economics at all. My what an economic liberal Mitt is!

Romney is my 2nd-to-last choice for POTUS, followed only by Obama. However, this article is a cheap shot, and isn’t worthy of being posted.
Folks who cheer it are Obama-bots.

I think we need to embrace Myth and push him to the right.......

To: HiTech RedNeck
Actually, in this and other things I have read, Romney sounds like a timid supply sider.
However, he also likes big government programs, which would seem to contradict his supply side talk. He sounds a lot like a guy places less importance on the philosophy behind a government program than in the person running the program.
