Yes, so all of you who defend Romney's anti-capitalist tenure at Bain Capital by conflating it "capitalism" or "free enterprise" can now pour yourselves a tall cool glass of STFU--this includes Rush himself who earlier attacked Gingrich for issuing the same criticisms against the former corporate raider and the one-term former governor who delivered RomneyCare. Romney himself now admits that his private equity firm socialized the costs of his operations onto taxpayers in the form of e.g. bailouts to pension funds that his firm plundered or the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs in favour of low-wage retail jobs at Staples or Dominos.

Rush’s response is in the exact same spirit as mine. He compares his Bain action to something that us conservatives despise.

Not even close when it comes to making comparisons. One is capitalism and the other is fascism or marxism, if you like.

Oops, comes so naturally for Mitt to show his liberal side of things. The DNC is loving this along with the Mitt vs. Mitt video should keep a lot of the GOP voters away from the polls. I work with the grass roots. We are not seeing much excitement for Mitt. Some of the people who identify as moderates feel ok with him. I hope the convention is a knock down to get the party on the limited government track.

1. Actually, there’s a huge difference. Shareholders have a great deal more freedom in where they invest and who they support for a company CEO than taxpayers do. The difference between the two situations is enormous.

2. To say that what you did was no different than what Obama did when you’re trying to position yourself to run against him is just plain stupid.

This is so depressing. How did we get here.

Santorum’s my choice but I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Candidate ABO. Anyone But Obama. I would vote for Debbie Wasserman Shultz over Obama if I had to. Al Sharpton. Spongebob. Anyone.

"Today on CBS, 'Romney said that what he did [with Bain Capital] was no different'...from what Barack Obama did bailing out the auto industry."

"Barack Obama and Romney did not do what they did for the same reasons...I'm still struggling with this here, folks. What Romney should have said is,..."

Rush is short-circuiting again. Let's have a look at most of the constituents supporting politicians again. The majority of bipartisan political people are government-connected, employed or pensioned, sucking up all of the debt and stealing from their neighbors.

Avoid buying anything that you don't really need, and see about having property taxes properly adjusted downward.

The GOP is dead....and just does not know it yet.

Does Rush?

Romney admitted what we’ve been saying all morning. His company took taxpayer money, he made off will 4 million dollars and left the taxpayer holding a $10 million bag. (Basically an early form of Solandra) and here’s Rush and Hannity defending it as “capitalisam”. It’s going to be really funny when we try to hang the Solandra people and they play back Rush and Hannity claiming it’s just free enterprise.

Jeez Louise. Just hours after I viewed Romney’s victory speech last night and started softening my stance on Romney....he does this. What a loser. It is Scott Brown Deux.

They want to give us the choice of Crony A or Crony B. And if by chance we get a real Conservative through the primaries, the choice will be Crony A, Conservative B, or Independent Crony C. That will be done to draw independents away from Conservative B. So either way we will end up with a crony. We are at the point where DC has become so corrupt, that they cannot ever afford to return power to us citizens.

Obama’s bailout of Detroit was in fact a rescue mission to save the United Auto Workers. The White House feared that allowing GM and Chrysler to go through a legal Chapter 11 process could kill the UAW.
