Since when does the "right wing" want the government interfering in family business?

I agree. Mitt should have STFU.
I for one would just wish the Republican candidates start talking about reducing the size and power of the federal government and taking on SS, Medicaid, and Medicare.

Depends on which section of the right wing you are courting. Lots of the right wing think the gov't had no business sticking its nose under the Schiavo tent.
