Mitt Romney Takes on Detroit

By Garance Franke-Ruta

The race for 2012 is already on in the Republican Party, and today failed 2008 contender Mitt Romney appeared to take a stand sure to complicate any future presidential bid. In an op-ed bluntly titled, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," the former Massachusetts governor argued against the automobile salaries and pension systems that have for decades helped define the good life in industrial Michigan, where Romney won the GOP primary this winter and where his father was once governor.

Why you choose the moniker “Diogenesis” when you have strayed so far from reallity in so many of your post and now you want to be the arbiter of truth....

Just the mention of Romney and the majority of you seem to go off like an orgasm....

So emotion and far from logic

I see the anti-Romney ignorance is in full bloom. I can't believe some of the absolute stupidity in these posts.

Um, they think Mitt's a conservative.

The same people who looked at Clinton's cigar and said a smoke was just a smoke.

Yeah, well I guess some of us missed the memo that declared socialized medicine, weak gun stances and such had become Conservative positions...

A feminist who gives praise to Hillary Clinton isn’t a conservative.

****

You are reading this wrong Palin does not agree with anything about Hillery this is still trying to knock down the wall that the phonies try to pin on a women president,

You are doing to Palin what these jerks are doing to Romney it is no different.

Palin walks the walk in her life and she also did on the trail it was McCain who would not help himself.

Careful, Granny. Speaking kindly of Gov. Palin is sacrilege to Slick Willard. She must be destroyed. His hairness hath spoken.

It matters not a word what he says. He’ll tell you whatever he needs to get you to support his megalomaniacal obsession with the Presidency. He doesn’t care about anything but himself, everybody else is expendable.

Ed King was. He beat both a liberal rodent incumbent in the primary (Dukakis) and a liberal RINO (Sears) in the general in 1978. The last decent Governor the state produced. A bonafide Reaganite DINO.

Good grief! GOP Lady simply posted an article. She didn't say whether or not she agreed with it. Your snide comment about women voters was unnecessary and ugly. I guess you didn't like the thought of Sarah Palin possibly being VP, either.

Oh, and by the way, I'm sure John Adams got a piece of Abigail's mind when women were not given the right to vote, as she was an educated, informed woman. You might also consider that almost half of Obama voters were MEN, so women don't have a corner on stupid voting.

That’s what the Slick Willardbots are instructed to do. They got the order to destroy her the day he learned McCain wouldn’t pick him for VP.
