To understand why, in general, business executives are at least somewhat hostile to Conservative ideology, you need to consider Perspective & Focus. The typical business executive's focus is on maximizing profits, and they feel threatened by anything "controversial," as a danger towards building acceptance for their product or service. In addition, they largely move in circles with the same focus, which reinforces their own distaste for any controversy that does not directly involve their business. And yet further in addition, at the higher levels, they are staffed by a middle management that has much in common with a Governmental bureaucracy.
This does not mean that the situation involved in trying to move some of them to the right is hopeless--far from it. But it does call for patience, politeness & understanding, which are included in the points in the article.
As the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, Romney is better seen as a challenge & opportunity, than an enemy. Again, we dare not agree to four more years of a demagogue already drafting unconstitutional executive orders that would make him our Fuhrer.

Well, such a theory has a major flaw. He is the enemy.

As bad as another four years of Obama would be, there is something infinitely more dangerous to the republic, and that is a "conservative" electorate with no principles left. THAT is how you create the moral and political climate for a Nazi Germany or a Soviet Russia.
That is all very dreamy and it probably entertains you to indulge yourself with that kind of hazy creative writing, but it is gibberish, the only thing clear is that you are determined to refuse to look at Mitt Romney and the Romneys.
You want to take what exists and try to mold it into something it isn’t, to escape from reality and truth, and to exercise what you see as a creative thinking talent.
Is it really true that Romney, because he was business-oriented, proclaimed that he was more supportive of the pro-homosexual agenda than Ted Kennedy because Romney wanted to avoid being controversial?
Or, do you think maybe he was just being honest?
How do you think he feels about the Mormon tradition of polygamy? If, because he is business-oriented and wants to avoid saying anything controversial, can you expect him to disclose now how he really feels about polygamy?
How can you trust a man who is afraid to tell the truth?
