For Mitt Romney this is like the good old days at Bain Capital, except this time his takeover involves not another company but the Republican Party. In fact, Romney is seeking a hostile takeover of the conservative movement, methodically moving to take over Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum and finally Newt Gingrich. Conservatives might remember what Romney did after he took over companies. You did not want to be a worker in a firm Romney took over. He liked layoffs.
I now expect Romney to move fast to the right for a few weeks while he buys stock in the Republican nomination. Once he owns a majority of shares, if he does, that is when he begins to sell his conservative positions, and start buying to his center and his left to get ready for Obama. Goodbye, conservative, hello, moderate, once the time is right for Mitt.
If Romney is elected, and Democrats either keep control of the Senate or win control of the House, Romney will head for Capitol Hill, sit down with Reid and Pelosi, and deal. In fact, even if Democrats lose the Senate but threaten filibusters, which they would, the Romney you will see then will look nothing like the conservative Mitt Romney you see today, and will look more like the moderate to liberal Mitt Romney who was governor.
Who would be the political equivalent of the workers Romney laid off when he took over companies? Of course, conservatives.
Las Vegas oddsmakers should have two betting pools. The first is who wins the election. The second, if Romney wins, is which Romney wins. I will take the weather-vane moderate and the points, haha.
Give Romney credit for this. He is good at what he does. He does takeovers. Workers learned this the hard way when Romney ran Bain. Conservatives will learn the hard way once Romney is nominated, if he is.
There might even be some conservatives who would rather take their chances with Obama for another term, rather than spending four or eight years being laid off by Romney if his takeover succeeds.
Get lost Romney. You are not wanted.
Brent Budowsky needs to Buttoutski.
We are aware of who Romney is and we really don’t need him to worry about us when he should be worrying for Obama.
Lil Tucker Carlson said the Establishment GOP is dead and gone.
According to this piece, it is up and well fueled. LOL
A friend of mine called me this evening ranting about telling the GOP just this on a telemarketing call. No Romney. Nope. Nada. Zilch. Nichts. Niente. La. Huh uh. NO.
Not to mention putting them in hock up to their eyeballs, then ripping out all the cash. I'd like to think the GOP has more sense than to run Mitt. The I remember McCain.
I can believe it. He is like a bad penny.
Budowsky’s a Democrat whose job it is to wound the nominee. Obama wants to win at any cost.
Conservative? The author’s a Democrat ex-Lloyd Bentsen staffer. You know Lloyd Bentsen supporter of abortion rights, ERA, voted against opening ANWR, helped pass Clinton’s ‘assault rifle’ ban, etc.
He was on Hannity’s radio show today. In 2008, he said McLame and Rudy ran to the left and he and Huck were the the conservatives. That is what he is putting out there. From the responses on this thread, nobody seems to agree with him.
I absolutely guarantee he will do this if given the chance. He is not a real conservative (never has been) and will say anything he thinks it will take to get elected. Including throwing the conservative base under the bus in a HEARTBEAT. Romney has no principles and cannot be trusted.
