What kind of capitalism involves a failed GSE paying $1.6 million to hire a “historian.”

Respectfully, how does that in any way negate that the Republican Party,— stereotyped as the party of the rich— now are promoting a man who is worth a 1/4 billion dollars in the midst of a Depression. If there is a quintessential country club Establishment Republican- it’s Romney——
it’s either idiocy, audacity, or throwing the election-— maybe all.

It does not negate it. Both Romney and Gingrich lost any chance at my support long ago. Yes, the Party is pushing Romney. But they have no track record for being interested in what is good for America in a fair piece. Then again, having all the Newt cult sound like Paulbots does not help their candidate either. If you have any reservations about Newt, you MUST be for Romney in their book.

Krauthammer just pointed out Bain is dinging Romney good in a Red state like S Carolina he will have real problems in a general.

So if he paid back the FDIC, not taxpayers, $10 million, would he be off the hook?

Romney's problems aren't with Bain. It is everything else!

Every time I am critical of the Bain attacks, I know I am treading on thin ice with the thought police that have cropped up here recently.

As far as I can tell Romney doesn't have one publicly held opinion that isn't subject to change. I also don't think that he is probably much different than Scott Brown. They just aren't conservatives.

Right now, I really don't support anybody since Perry imploded. The candidate I want doesn't exist. I want a right wing, fiscally conservative, strong on defense, governor. Why governor? Because we need somebody that knows how to make a decision. I just don't see that in anybody in this race. I honestly don't see that in the Republican Party right now without getting Dr. Frankenstein to accomplish some strange gene splicing, bringing people back from the dead, experiment.
