I caught the Romney speech at the end of the NH primary
And if he actually plays the game like he spoke the speech, I think I can like this guy! the only problem is his moderately waffled history. I guess he’s played the game how he had to play it to ride where he rode, but it does make one nervous about commiting, you know?
He does seem to have a pretty strong support base, and with the necessity for ABO, I’m looking at the inevitability of it being him in the race. If you look at that Bain Capital stuff, he’s a capitalist. He does know how shit works, and he seems to believe “If it’s too big to fail, it won’t”. I see that as a good thing, actually.
“It’s a sad day in South Carolina and across this country if Republicans are talking against the free market,” said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. “The free market is being able to hire and fire and do what you need to in terms of being a business or a consumer.”
GOP consultant Terry Holt, said, “the last 48 hours have been about skinning Romney. But he comes out of New Hampshire stronger and looking more like the nominee, not less.”
Am I simply attempting to find some nutrition in a shit sandwich, or is there the possibility that he’s done what he had to do to try and do what he could in our vein and we just don’t see it? Will he turn out to be a new Ronaldus Maximus? Well, I don’t know about THAT, but I don’t think he’s McVain pt II. Is there the possibility of a Palin/Bachmann run?
Whatever, O’Bullshit has got to go, and we have GOT to take Congress. Or there will be blood. Oh yes, there will be blood.

The career politicians are showing their true colors now. They don’t trust the private sector because they are devoid of knowledge of how it actually works and the one who should know how it works (Huntsmann) sits up and show why he gets only one percent support from Republicans nationally. Of course it was Huntsmann’s old man who made the fortune so I guess maybe he doesn’t know better.
<a href=http://www.baincapitalprivateequity.com/Approach/Default.aspx.As for what Bain Capital does there is nothing wrong with it. From how I read it they offer capital investment and give advice to firms in order to increase their value for the owners. You know the people who actually have assets at risk. The more valuable the company the more likely it will be to grow and thrive and thus hire more people.
Quite often to the layman the medicine is harsh(in closely held companies, which appears to be Bain’s main focus, it is very hard to fire the management because quite often they are the stockholders). Many companies become bloated and inefficient quite often leading to a financial crisis. They come in and evaluate the operation and suggest where to improve efficiencies. The choice often is do we cut X% of jobs and keep the company as a going concern or do we go along as we are and lose all the jobs and the investment at pennies on the dollar.
The careerist attack represents the government union mentality where no matter how inefficient and lazy you are you have a job for life unless you murder someone and then only after you’ve been convicted. This is the ignorance of the political class who’s only marketable commodity is promoting what Rand labelled the “politics of pull”.
They have resorted to calling Romney’s action “vulture capitalism”. For example it is implied in this statement:
I guess like the 1.6 million he took from the now bankrupt GSE FHLMC. At least when Romney got done in many cases he left a viable business. Apparently when Newt gets done “advising” he leaves companies as wards of the state.
Unstated in the term “vulture capitalism” is that vultures do serve a useful purpose they clean up the carcasses of dead animals benefiting immediately for themselves but then spreading the nutrients around as fertilizer in order to continue the circle of life. The selling of useful assets to stronger businesses is part of what they did if the companies were not viable
Also unstated is how many jobs did Romney save as he and his firms advice turned around companies that would have otherwise perished.
Businesses are not forever companies like Bain serve a useful purpose in that they give objective advice to create value and thus make a company more viable and in the unfortunate instances that a company does not survive redistribute the remaining assets to more productive users.
In other word they serve a more useful purpose than career politicians who are nothing more than parasites.
This comment does should not be construed as support for Willard. I only wish to clarify what is really a dirty job that someone has to do and to refute some of the willful demagoguery being spewed by the republican careerists.
Sorry CM
Screwed up the link to Bain
As I’ve said, companies that are “Too Big To Fail” won’t. If they do, they weren’t. If it is something the people need/want sufficiently, someone else will fill the void. Just like nature, when some stupid fucking bird food fish goes extinct, the birds will find something else to eat. Thus allowing the people of this nation to grow more affordable food in an area which is now desert due to some idiot ecoloons. But we all remember that story, don’t we?
