If Romney supported a $10 million dollar federal bailout, and Obama supports bailouts, and Gingrich and Perry come out in opposition to the $10 million dollar bailout, then it will be Romney and Obama, not Newt and Perry, putting free enterprise on trial.

So now I’m really confused. A socialist is being attacked by conservatives for being a capitalist, taking the word of the socialist mainstream media who is criticizing said socialist for being a socialist.

If Romney and others got $4 million, and if there was a bailout, and if hundreds were fired, how can the GOP support this and not be ripped by voters?

Bail out, no. But companies should have the right to hire and fire without government interference.

A lot of people here on Free Republic have never been around venture and vulture capitalists. There really is a difference. I have nothing but good vibes for venture capitalists who provide not only money, but expertise and grit. But there are plenty of vultures who are just out to strip companies of assets by being clever - it really amounts to sophisticated theft. We’ll see which group Romney falls under.

He’s either a very confused perennial pres. candidate—not unlike Paul (I find it interesting he wound up one, two in NH)—and/or he’s the RINO we all know he is.

This is all assuming that the Ted Kennedy ad, you know Ted Kennedy, liar and killer of women, and the Boston Globe, a left-wing rag, are telling the truth?

And no, I’m not a Romney-bot, I’m a Perry supporter. Just hate to see left-wing lies spread around on a conservative website.

Here’s the actual story if anyone is interested:
