hardly Sandy...it's closed the gap in South Carolina and the only folks howling about it are fellow travelers, those Romney has promised something to and beltway GOP and talkies who either share his social liberalism or want to keep access in case he does get elected
Romney is a pro gay, pro gun control, pro taxation in Mass, pro Romneycare and worst of all pro abortion
you and fellow traveler Beck can cling to some wacky notion he is actually conservative but he is not
as for Bain...let him defend his claim he created 100,000 jobs or that what he did at times was just a-ok as "capitalism"
I am a capitalist...I own and owe for businesses in the low 8 figures range which I think qualifies me as a capitalist and in this economy I can promise you that the range between owe and own ain't what it used to be
but sometimes LBOS and raiding pension funds do not...I repeat DO NOT...fall under the protection of capitalism per se instead they are sometimes crony capitalism or as Milton Friedman pointed out...instances where govt helps just pals in business
I have been a part of small LBOs...which is part of Bain's area of operation...those exist frequently to enrich the folks doing the transaction and existing top executives leveraging the buyout for themselves...stockholders and debt holders are secondary...by a long shot...Rush's excuse of this the past two days was nothing short of appalling
read Barbarians at the Gate...that is not pure capitalism....
nor was TARP...something Romney swears by
it is possible to critique his business claims without being anti Capitalist...nice attempted deflection by his buddies at FOX and in the GOP but South Carolinians look to be getting wiser
no one in the GOP pwer structure or FOX or Beck said jack diddly when Mitt's millions were scathing Newt with broad claims in Iowa.. now Newt has some cash...and it's payback...tuff
Mitt Romney is not a conservative but appeals to social libs who call themselves conservative but who only give a damn about lower taxes and a hawkish foreign policy
Great post. You sure covered my complaints for the day.
I am going to hang in, but the games are making me sick.
9 more days and we should have a much better idea as to how this is all going to end.
There's a load of the same kind of idiots on FR.
