I’ve tried to like Newt and Rick. I’m still working on Santorum and Paul. I really miss Michelle Bachmann but nobody in their right mind thought she would get as far as she did. I never, ever considered Romney or Huntsman. What it boils down to is that there are no real conservatives running except Ron Paul and I’m trying to get hold of some of his more unusual views. The Republicans are being handed the presidency on a platter and true to form they are fumbling the ball. Conservatives? Baloney.

Excellent observations. Here is a wonderful speech by Danny DeVito on why “hardworking Waldo” should get fired if the product he is making is not profitable:

Romney was operating a business, not a charity! Mitt should go back to business since he was good at growing business. Unfortunately, he is also good at growing government:

I notice that Limbaugh mentions Perry and Santorum and Gingrich but not Ron Paul – who correctly defends the decision to fire unprofitable workers, switch away from unresponsive providers, and shut down unprofitable companies. Too bad that Romney didn’t follow his own business instincts and supported government TARP bailouts.

One might argue that Mitt’s compensation at Bain was too high – but that is an issue for the Bain stockholders. I wouldn’t rank money manipulator Mitt with Jobs but he did enrich his shareholders.

Concerning New Hampshire: Paul won among independents and those under 44 but was clobbered among Republicans over 65 who apparently don’t want the Social Welfare applecart overturned (even eventually).

Meanwhile – about “job creation” – the egomaniacal Newt brags how many jobs HE created while he was speaker!! What a fatuous blowhard.

Capitalism used to consist of individuals and firms offering goods and services in a free market. Efficiency determined success/failure, discovered price, created real wealth. Willard Romney’s Baen operation did Wall Street-enabled DEBT-leveraged buy-outs, sucked the blood out of companies, discarded husks, exported jobs to foreign sweatshops…and vastly enriched Willard. If this is indeed “capitalism”, then let’s be done with it.

Newt Gingrich was never a part of any movement more than the movement to advance himself. That’s never been more clear than now.
