I don't see where what you said has anything to do with what I stated.

I don't like Romney much either. Although I have to say it doesn't bother me a whit that he was a "corporatist" and made money for people. I think that's still allowed in America.

My overall point is that words on paper are pretty, but it's hard to find people who can live up to them and not just talk nice.

And mine was similar: as a corporatist, romney made money, but as a governor he was a dismal failure

Since he had to run a successful first campaign to be elected, he said all the right things, but then couldn't follow through.

Romney is a talker and not a doer when in a government role.

Just for future reference, a "corporatist" is someone who believes that government has the right to dictate to corporations what they should and shouldn't produce. It is closer to socialism than capitalism.

Nazi Germany used a "corporatist" philosophy. And many have argued that Obama is a "corporatist" (for example green energy dictates, the Chevy Volt, American petroleum, etc)

It should bother you quite a bit that anyone is a "corporatist".

Mitt Romney (despite his liberal views) does not rise to the level of a "Corporatist". He is a venture capitalist - he bought up weak companies that would otherwise go bankrupt, for bargain prices - some he saved, others couldn't be saved.

Romney isn’t a ‘corporatist’. He is a Globalist, which is basically Fascist.
