I don't particularly like Romney either, but he does have one thing going for him -

HE AIN'T 0BAMA!

Governor Romney—if you’re not angry about what’s happening to our country, there’s something very wrong with you.

—In other words, Mitt Romney who no one much cares for outside of well paid consultants, lobbyists, and First Class Acela Express Republicans in Washington and New York...—

And lots of mormons, nationwide. Every mormon I know is a big Romney fan. Every. Single. One.

Not that that will be enough, of course, but the article really leaves out the main part of his support demographic. Probably on purpose, to keep the discussion from getting sidetracked.

Mittens is unlikeable—not just when he opens his mouth—but as he just stands there. He is an empty suit. He is a robot. He has such a warped, programmed mind that he can’t think. There is no logic when he opens his mouth—no Common Sense—no passion—no Reality there.

He was programmed with a worldview that is weird and fascist and nonsensical. There is no way he can sound like a common sense American. It was bred out of his childhood.

It is why we have to get back our education system. The Marxist/Atheists/pagans are trying to corrupt and fill children with cognitive dissonance-—which destroys the ability to reason and think logically.

They teach lies to little kids to destroy logic: Like Heather has two mommies and children can be killed in the womb—it is a “right” to kill, “right” to sodomy, “right” for housing, “Respect” sodomy. “Take PRide” in sodomy. “Capitalism” is evil, etc. etc. They are intentionally destroying logic in children and morality-—the ability to judge “Right and Wrong”.

They are destroying Moral Absolutes—the Objective Truth—that lies at the heart of our Supreme Law of the Land—the Constitution—based on Natural Rights from God—not the evil twisted thinking of Barney Frank.

Let’s take our government BACK and return to Rule of Law—not rules by barney frank and marxists.

Anyone can sell a product.

Though, someone who has love in the heart with good intentions can sell a product much better.

We’ve been telling the GOP for years, don’t foist Romney on us. In reply we hear, shut up and vote for Romney.

“The Republican base does not trust Mitt Romney.”

I'm not so sure of that. The only Republicans that don't trust him are;

Christians, especially evangelicals
Anti-Obamacare advocates
Pro-life advocates
Smaller government advocates
Second amendment advocates
Anti-illegal alien advocates
Border security advocates

...but the rest of the Republican base trusts him just fine.

When I think of Romney I remember two things:

1. His Senate campaign against Ted the Swimmer Kennedy and the "debate" they had.

I was relishing the thought of Romney wiping the floor with, arguably, the dimmest bulb in the Kennedy chandelier and then watched in open-mouthed shock as Romney resorted to trying to out-liberal Kennedy.

2. The picture of Romney signing the healthcare bill with the laughing Dems, Kennedy included, surrounding him and cheering him on.

The divide between the rest of us and Northeastern Republicans is nothing new. You folks must be too young to remember the Rockefeller Republicans who massively opposed Barry Goldwater in ‘64.

Mitt is likely a very nice person — indeed most of us would like him as a neighbor, I suspect. The problem is that he is a clone of the managerial class. Buttoned down, cool to the point of indifference to controversy and able to bloodlessly make business decisions that most people would find disturbing.

His is the modern management philosophy of the investment business. Such decision making has moved much of our manufacturing base offshore. It was good business, after all, don’t you know. He means well but he cannot see past the spreadsheet conclusion because the spreadsheet only makes linear projections and cannot deal with the highly nonlinear world that we are actually live in.

He has no fire, no “sack” (as the Brits say). He cannot defend the long term, only the next quarter. He will do a commendable job as a manager of decline but he will not fight, only ameliorate the hurt and delay the disaster.

In other words, he is not a leader. Can you imagine him leading a platoon of Marines in an assault? I can’t. No one would respond to his “Follow Me!”

I really dislike Newt as a man but there is no doubt that he has sack and he will fight. Between the bloodless manager and the flawed leader, there is no choice.

Many LBO firms today find it advantageous to brand themselves as Venture Capital firms. This is primarily done for deceptive reasons when it comes to first approaching companies the LBO firms may be interested in actually acquiring as opposed to investing in them as a true VC firm would. The LBO firm wants to answer the question; can we acquire this company and either part it out or leverage it up in order to suck-out lots of cash. Most companies are not initially all that interested in cashing-in or selling-out. Saying you are a VC is a way of making it easier to get a quick “inside look” at a company and answer this question before revealing their true goal....acquiring and quickly disposing of the company at a profit.
