Even in 2008 I realized Romney was a Keynesian. He’s not anti-business or anti-rich but he’s more like a corporatist protectionist technocrat who thinks the economy can be managed if only we had the smart guys in charge.

Sort of like the old school Hoover country club Republicans.

Somebody get him a teleprompter. He is running already an Obama styled campaign. He needs to stop with this 99% cheap stuff and go 100% Obama. This bunch really really do not hold those coveted 'independent' voters in a very high regard.

Say no to the GOP's Rhino left.

That's a pretty scathing indictment. The lights should have already have been on.

"Has he missed the decades long discussion among conservatives about . . ."

Bishop Romney has missed every discussion among conservatives, not just the discussion of the minimum wage. He doesn't hang around with or talk with anyone who is conservative except at election time and even then he only allows the most RINO of RINOs into his little clique for the duration of the campaign.

Why anyone would believe Bishop Romney is a conservative is beyond me. One word, RomneyCare, is sufficient to dispel any BS about the guy having even a single conservative bone in his body. He' plenty big on self-interest, but other than that, he could care less what happens to the economy, average folks, or the Constitution.

He and his LDS pals like to claim they're conservative but they play the angles no matter what they are including getting in on every government scam they can possibly find a way to get in on. That's not being conservative, that's keeping up appearances while playing the game behind the scenes.

Is he more conservative than he sounds? No, it’s the other way around. He is far LESS conservative than he sounds, and this as close as he can get when he’s trying .

I'm not sold on Romney, but Fred Barnes' Conservative "cred," so to speak, is Dee Cee-tainted, too. Probably better than than most of the Beltway Bombers over at the Billy the K's Standard (and much improved the past few years), I'll admit.

[RoosterRedux]

If Romney cannot see the inherent damage to the economy and to employment of the minimum wage act, I question his understanding of economics in general. Just because Romney made a lot of money DOES NOT automatically mean that he understands how the economy works (and should work).

Micro IS NOT macro! The economy is macro!

[xzins]

Romney doesn’t think like a conservative, does he, Fred?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

How cute. Fred Barnes actually trying to sound like a conservative.

He’s just trying to get some distance between his milquetoast moderate magazine and the coming flameout of the Romney campaign.

Romney is the ahem conservative who would manage the welfare state better than any other conservative. Santorum and Gingrich want to tear down the welfare state. That is the difference between the candidates.
