This all boils down to, “Do we want a greedy SOB to be our President?”
NO.
Newt, Newt, Newt, remember when you were defending your fellow Republicans and attacking the press with your razor-sharp debate answers and you skyrocketed in the polls? Remember that? That, that was great.
No wonder capitalism is losing, since apparently Howie Carr and others don’t seem to understand it. Or he’s just seeming dense as a way to grill Newt.
Atlas Shrugged
Howie sounds like he is quite thick in the cranium.
Newt sounds tired.
Rush Limbaugh reporting at noon PST that Newt, at a book signing appearance in SC, has retracted his criticism of Romney’s Bain Capital history, saying that he had crossed the line. Who knows?
To save the few brain cells I have left, I’ve decided to ignore all politicians until Primary and Presidential election days.
Rush is reporting that Newt has announced he has officially backed off this path against Romney per a talk with a SC voter.
There’s no honor among thieves, but they do conspire to legalize and commit thievery. As for Atlas, she’s a manly, government-connected, socialist professional, sucking up all of the debt and stealing from her neighbors. We few in the private parts of the economy will continue to avoid buying, until she shrugs. Nay. Until she slumps.
If Newt has committed the unpardonable, let’s just acknowledge that and move on down the road. He took a well-desrved shot at Romney, which hurt him more than Romney. So, can we puleeeze advance our agenda of firing the “fourth best” President of the United States and give this a rest?
Newt is so right to raise the question. Should Romney with limited liability be able to purchase a company, borrow enormously through that company, take that borrowed money as fees, and then depart leaving that company to file bankruptcy stiffing creditors/contractors/investors for pennies on the dollar?
I say no. That is not free market capitalism. It is vulture capitalism.
It highlights that bankruptcy, appraisal, and corporate laws can be manipulated unethically to enrich those with the know-how and the financial resources.
Unethical appraisers helped bring about the financial meltdown in the housing industry by creating a bubble that was borrowed against by unscrupulous investors who then fed the borrowed money to other accounts and themselves filed bankruptcy. Was that right?
This is the subject that Ted Kennedy hammered in destroying Mitt Romney in Romney’s senate race in Massachusetts. Romney lost miserably.
In fact, Romney generally loses miserably. He’s only won one time out of all his campaigns.
Krauthammer self-rightously intones that Santorum lost a senate campaign by 18 points and that’s why he should be considered questionable.
AT LEAST Santorum won TWO Senatorial races BEFORE he lost one in a terribly down year for republicans in general.
Romney, on the other hand, NEVER won even one, and he lost that miserably by the same margin.
Why does self-righteous Krauthammer and the Fox et al NEVER go “fair and balanced” on that one? Why doesn’t that kind of imbalance get challenged?
Because the establishment has annointed another John McCainDole whose turn it is now to lose.
Romney WILL lose. It’s what he does best. (Unless it’s fire people...he really likes that!)
Gingrich on the other hand won for years in his congressional seat, won for Speaker of the House, only 2 heartbeats away from the presidency. He won with the contract with America, won with a welfare showdown with a democrat president, and won with 4 balanced budgets.
Romney, though, loves to fire people after he’s vultured their workplace.
