The so-called conservative media on tv and the radio is silent on this. Maybe they like crony capitalism.

Crony capitalism supported by the Dems or by RINOs should be eschewed, though.

Mitt Romneezer is a capitalist --- as news articles from Zerohedge, LA Times, Boston Globe, American Spectator ("Romney: Corporate Welfare Bum"), dirtdiggersdigest, Baltimore Sun ("Corporate Welfare for Bain and Romney") and so on have shown --- he is a crony capitalist, corporate welfare hog.

Mitt Romneezer cares about the poor & wants a safety net for the them, but wants a huge safety net for others.

The individuals over at Faux News have their noses so far up Mittens’ posterior that their ears are the only things keeping them from merging with his colon!

Count the issues that we will have to ignore if we nominate Mitt:

1. Obamacare. And now,
2. Green Energy.

If the “conservative media” won’t take note it will make it easier for the MSM to ignore the issues.

Also off the table:

Stimuls bill (which Romney supported) also off the table...

The issue of crony capitalism off the table big time.

The issue of abortion off the table.

Establishment Dems and GOP-e like it that way.

This election is shaping up to be potentially much worse than 2008 when McCain basically refused to engage Obama on the issues. With Romney you have a candidate who is totally compromised on the issues. If he tries, Obama has easy counterattacks. Opposition Research for Obama will be child’s play.
