BTW, the Romney lovefest on this morning’s Fox and Friends is over the top—all Romney, all the time.

It is sickening. And it continues on the Romney network. I just watched Brit Hume crying about Newt picking on Romney with the vulture capitalism charge.

Romney the Raider bought companies, over-borrowed them, siphoned off huge fees from the borrowed money, and then allowed them to go bankrupt sticking creditors/contractors/investors with pennies on the dollar.

That is a distortion and a manipulation of the free market; it is not free market capitalism.

It is nothing more than powerful interests DISRUPTING a free market. It is the same thing that a monopoly or cartel does....muscle free market capitalism to the side.

Ditto Rush and Hannity today.

There is a big difference between "turnaround" capitalism, which is a variety of venture capitalism (think Gerry Tsai turning the old American Can into Primerica) and vulture capitalism, which strips assets with fees and self-dealing, to the disadvantage of the original shareholders.

Vulture capitalism or turnaround capitalism?

That needs to be clarified, and then somebody needs to climb down. I suspect that it's Romney's side which needs to go on the defensive. They will have to defend this against the MSMrat Lie Machine -- and the Lie Machine won't give them a chance or a fair trial, ever.
