Levin is rather dismayed at a video that has emerged where Mitt Romney is not only misrepresenting capitalism, but saying that he isnt a classical Republican when it comes to economics, which he also misrepresents. Levin says he just doesnt know who Romney really is:
I honestly do not know if Mitt Romney is a conservative or not! I honestly dont know if hes a free market conservative or not! He has evolved on every single major issue I can think of, and not over a course of time, but over a course of a few years. Pro-abortion, now pro-life. Against classical Republican economics, whatever the hell that is, now hes for it. And I can go down the line. 1994, trashing Ronald Reagan.
I mean, who is this man? Can somebody tell me WHO IS MITT ROMNEY? Its a simple question! I dont know! And the problem is, 75% of you dont know either! And we want an answer! Honest to God, I want to like the guy! Who the hell is he?! I dont know!
And thats the problem.
Video: The Real Romney http://ow.ly/8rknZ
He even got Ted Kennedy laughing at one point in the video
I had a friend pose this question: How does Mitt Romney stand on polygamy. After all he is a mormon. This polygamy is in line with sharia law so I kind of started wondering myself.
Romney is a shape shifter.
1) Romney runs as a “conservative” during primaries
2) Romney runs as a “moderate” in the general election
3) Romney governs as a liberal.
Re-election season: Blame the liberal things you did on the liberals in Congress and claim nothing would have gotten done if he did not take the liberal measures he did and repeat steps 1,2 and 3.
THAT is Romney is a nutshell.
(Romney is John Kerry with an R next to his name but more respectful towards the military)
The official Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, modern version, does not support polygamy.
The Mormons who do practice polygamy are considered a rogue group by the official Mormon church.
Whatever is the official church position on it would be Mitt’s official position.
Count on it.
Romney makes me puke ... again, and again, and again, and again.
Most Mormons are against polygamy. However, Mitt's grandfather was a polygamist and fled to Mexico in order to continue practicing it. However his father, born in Mexico, but a US citizen, not a Mexican one, did not practice it,and came to the US as youngster when the family again fled, this time the Mexican Revolution. So Mitt has a some pretty deep and recent polygamist roots.. but still, he only has one wife.. AFAIK. Huntsman is a Mormon too, but one whose family never left the US. But frankly, I don't give a tinker's dam about that. I had a Morman roomate at ROTC field training. At least one other guy in our flight was also Mormon. My daughter had a good friend who was Mormom. None of them wanted to kill me like many members of a certain other religion that still allows and encourages polyagmy. In fact at that time BYU had an AFROTC cadet Wing, whereas most schools had at best a Group, and IIRC BYU's ROTC detachment was the largest in the nation. May still be... Nope, that would be Texas A&M
But BYU still has a cadet Wing. I do care about Mitt's record, which is pretty socialist and I will not be voting for him in the Primary, just like I did not vote for McCain, not that it mattered by the time Texans got to weigh in.
One can oppose Romney while deploring the attack on Bain. I'd rather Gingrich and Santorum had attacked the left wing polices, by showing how they were much the same as Obama's policies, that Romney has implemented as a politician, not what he did as a businessman. Newt did that on Thursday. He should have done it before the NH primary, not when the "Bain" attacks backfired on him, and Santorum too.
Clue: If you liked the administrations of the inside-the-beltway, establishment, elitist, big-spending, big-gubmint, RINO's (father and son) Booshes, you will luv Romney.
As you have so correctly inferred, Romney is not a conservative, but Mark Levin is a Gee-Oh-Pee shill and a nutjob.
Frankly, he's the worst thing that ever happened to the Mormon religion. Before this is over, he is what people are going to think Mormons are and it's not going to be pretty.
Romney deserved being attacked as a crony, vulture capitalist. He practiced business without risk and targeted select companies for huge payoffs while pursuing a kinder, gentler more acceptable path with others.
IOW, a few slick deals with big rewards among a large number of innocuous deals.
That would be how such an operation would be run. It’s the same reason the Godfather ran an olive oil business. It provides cover.
I heard that stuff Thursday night. Mark is being a bit disingenuous.
Yes, I said it.
Mark isn't playing straight with us.
He knows, as the rest of us know, damn well what Romney is.
Mitt Romney is the prideful and unrepentant perpetrator of socialist medicine in Massachusetts. Whatever else he may be, Mitt Romney is a socialist.
