“No man has an obligation to create jobs. He has an obligation to follow the laws and to enter only into voluntary transactions with others. No man should be compelled to do anything with his time, talent, or money that he does not want to do. Otherwise, why don’t you create a job for my young daughter ... chop, chop.”

The main issue in this election is jobs, jobs, jobs. Romney claims that he will be able to create jobs better than Obama because of his experience in the private sector(Bain).

His record on job creation in Massachusetts was not so hot. The average voter is not going to be impressed with his actions at Bain after the Obama machine gets finished with his record there.

I don't care how right, necessary, or great it might have been, when so many people who are needing a job go to vote, I doubt they are going to vote for Romney and his methods, if his claim to fame is firing people to save the company, and leaving some companies for the taxpayers to bail out the pensions.

And part of the vote that the Republicans need to attract is the disenchanted, blue collar workers some of whom are members of the union. Attacking the unions while trying to attract the “Reagan Democrats” won't work too well either.

What Romney portrays as his strongest quality(ability to create jobs based on Bain capital experience) will be the albatross that defeats him, if he winds up the nominee.

In fact, he just went on record today stating that what he did at Bain capital was NO Different than what Obama did with GM!

So Obamanomics = Romneynomics, and Obamacare = Romneycare. BOHICA four more years, and kiss the senate good bye too and maybe the house.

Sigh. Romney did get a bailout.

Please stop lying and stick with facts.

Next. Romney is the only candidate who has operated in the free market and who has risked capital to pursue his economic self-interest. Before you opine any further on free markets, please brush up on your Adam Smith, or F.A. Hayek, or Milton Friedman, or Thomas Sowell. Thanks.
