“They would much rather support a Santorum or a Perry or a Gingrich who at least are calling for fairness.”
“Fairness” is a code word for feel-good socialist bulls##t. Businesses fail and new businesses open. Only socialists want failing businesses be put on life support for the benefit of the “working class”.
Working class should try becoming productive class and quit their dependency on government-subsidized businesses.
In this sleazebag Mitt vs sleazebag Newt pissing contest, capitalism and free-market economy are the real losers.
If there were a "bible of free market beliefs", then your quote might well be in it. Then all the purists could sit around and debate the theology of free markets. They could preach sermons, have revivals, and lead others to the free market promised land.
Unfortunately, that's not the world in which this election will be held.
There will be weaknesses directly caused by Romney's inept record as a governor, his flip-flopping on issues, his love of big government, his obamNeyCare, AND his business record that he himself launched with the soundbite "i like to fire people".
He is unelectable. He is toast in working class, social conservative households. His inability to rise in the polls says just that.
Krauthammer, Hume, Coulter, Baier, and all the other establishment commentators who wish for a Romney promised land are not dealing with reality.
One of these might awaken from his (I use that word lightly about Ann Coulter) slumber and actually smack his forehead with his palm and shout "Oi Vey! No Way Romney Wins"
Ad-MITT Romney Will Fail!
(Surrender Dorothy!)
