see there? Even quicker than I thought.
Don’t worry... Republicans are just stupid enough to eat their own and your boy will easily be re-elected.
Better reread this thread. Lots of Romney-bots in here!
ObamaCare = RomneyCare = CommieCare. NO Romney! NO WAY!!
I hope you're ready to pull the lever for Romney then, because that's who the Establishment wants.
It's not a dream, it's exactly what you're behaving like. Your own words condemn you.
Remember: It doesn't matter what you call yourself. What matters are the words you use in expressing your ideas.
Your post reads exactly like any number of OWS signs I see on a daily basis as they protest outside the very building I work in every day.
In the words of Bill Engvall, "Here's your sign."
yeah, whatever. Its not even fun to discuss anymore. Knock yourself out.
Post the evidence that Romney fired people who di(n`t have to be fired. Articles, testimony--FACTS not just hyperbole.
We are seeing why Newt `Pelosi`s Couchmate` Gingrich should get out and let one of the actual conservatives take hold and defeat Romney NOW--because Newt will do anything to win, even repeat these Occupy talking points and help create a `meme` for those who will be attacking not Romney but CAPITALISM. `Even Newt Gingrich says...` they`ll be telling us.
This isn`t about Romney but about Newt brainwashing `conservatives` to Obama`s way of `morality in business.`
Let`s have it--the facts, not just assertions. Let`s see the proof of all these jobs that didn`t have to be cut, oh oracle of how businesses should be run. {How many businesses has Newt run, other than consulting for Fannie/Freddie?]
Capitalism--yes! `Two Americas` Gingrich New Age crap--NO!
Never said I was. Can you find in any post of mine over the last 10+ years that I've said anything about ever voting for Romney?
You can look through my rich, sometimes sordid history of posting on here and never find such words.
But let me add this anyway: Not just NO, but HELL NO. If anything, I seem to be a voter without a candidate at this point. Probably won't matter, by the time the primaries get to my state it's typically all over anyway.
Have fun voting for your pro-gay, pro-abortion, corporate-raiding, socialist.
I agree with you. But as the other candidates start looking more and more like clowns, Mitt starts to look better in comparison. In any event, I will swim through burning molasses to vote for Obama’s opponent.
If Gingrich is incapable of taking out Romney by using his record--which has more than enough to do the job--and has to smear the very business ideas that will revive the economy [yes, sorry, restructuring, FIRING some employees, investing and GROWING businesses doesn`t always mean everyone is happy in the end--welcome to #he adult world!] he is only proving he is unfit to be president.
I guess he wasn`t worried about all this `questionable` wealth when he was spending money at Sacks or wherever it was. [His finances are off-limits, but he thinks government should prevent people from making `too much`?]
“Romney made huge fortune while workers lost jobs, stockholders and creditors lost money. Here’s just one example:
In 1992, Mitt Romney was running Bain Capital, a private equity firm. Bain Capital bought American Pad & Paper Co. (Ampad) for $5 million.
Over the next several years Romney’s firm bled the company dry. Hundreds of workers lost their jobs. Stockholders were left with worthless shares. Creditors and vendors were paid less than 50 cents on the dollar. While they were exploiting the company, Romney’s firm charged Ampad millions of dollars in “management fees.” In all, Romney and his investors reaped more than $100 million dollars from the deal.”

Yeah, this whole joint has gone insane. This is boiler-plate socialist, leftist crap. Gingrich and Perry are, seemingly, ready to completely poison the well. This week may go down as the week an Obama second term was insured. The greedy, heartless capitalistic Republican meme has been bonafide now by fellow republicans.
I think it’s time to not dignify with a response the ignorance on display on this thread. Who would have thought that to be against four more years of 0 would be anti-Conservative?
You stated that Rush Limbaugh is in the pocket of Romney because Bain capital owned some of Clear Channel
Once again That is absurd BS
grow up
take up basket weaving ....do anything but come up with BS crackpot theories .....you are not good at it
Do you really believe that, in a time of long term, high unemployment, where a high percentage of people have recent experience with being fired or laid off or simply lost their job when the company they worked for went out of business, are going to vote for someone who "likes to fire people" as Romney will now be known for?
Do you really believe that in a country where the majority of businesses are small to medium sized, single owner/entrepreneur run/owned, corporate raiders are thought of as average capitalists, just like the rest of us?
Trust me on this, Romney's business model, the one he'll be known for in this coming election, is a form of capitalism and legal, but it is not held in high regard when times are good and especially not when we're struggling with obamanomics.
Please give me the post number where I said that Rush is in Romney's pocket.
grow up take up basket weaving ....do anything but come up with BS crackpot theories .....you are not good at it
And you think Obama will give Romney a pass on this? You think it will have all been forgotten and swept under the carpet? It'll be ok with the Libs that Romney put people out of their jobs and hauled in lots of money in the process?
Ha! You try growing up. My criticisms are NOTHING compared to the roasting Romney will receive if/when he gets the nomination.
Like Obama do you? Well you'll get 4 more years to like him because of Mitt.
EXACTLY!!!
