Jim, what I don't understand is the flak I'm taking over the Bain situation. There seem to be quite a few FReepers who want to give him a pass by not using this against him in the primary, when you know darn well it will be used against him in the general.
In your Statement by the founder of F ree Republic: :"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty".....it's apparent that your stance is NOT that in being "pro-capitalist" Romney's record at Bain, in which businesses were closed down, workers were laid off, pensions disappeared, and Bain Capital accepted a bailout of millions be applauded because "it's capitalism".
First, this is going to be used against Romney in the general if he is the nominee. Secondly, Mitt claims no tie to Bain now, but Bain has donated to his campaign see my Link to Romney contributors 2012
Why should we be hamstrung in the name of "capitalism" when Romney has made a fortune with pushing to the limit business practices that do NOT present any proof that he actually "created jobs"? I think it's apparent that the media will not let this pass.
One has to wonder just how "conservative" it is for some FReepers to applaud the completely unfettered drive for wealth for a so-called Republican in the present climate when the nation is seeing people losing their homes, savings and their very livelihood.
[In before the "Newt did/does worse posts".]
Frankly, it appears to me that this is a back-door way to support Romney on FR by some.
Romney must be STOPPED NOW. He will be torn to pieces in the general.
Romney is a walking, talking, in-the-flesh negative campaign ad for the Demoncrats. He’s ripe for the pickin’. If he’s the Republican candidate, Obama gets a second term. He’s just about as anti-Reagan, anti-conservative, anti-small government as you can get and still wear the Republican label.
The 27 minute film.
Still time to stop Romney. I pray and hope Newt Gingrich can rebound, despite the odds and the onslaught of media against him, because he's definitely the right one, but if not Newt, then maybe Santorum or Perry. Something’s got to give.
Romney is a certain loser.
