Wall Street has its share of miscreants, and they should be recognized as such when appropriate. But to abominate Mitt Romney for having been a success at the business of investing in struggling American companies, connecting entrepreneurs with capital and producers with markets, is foolish and destructive. Republicans ought to know better, and the fact that Gingrich et al. apparently do not is the most disturbing commentary on the state of the primary field so far.
Romneys Profitable Past
Great article.
".... private-sector expertise and experience is an invaluable thing in a chief executive, and Romney has nothing to regret on that front."
Yes!
We NEED someone who understands business. For Gingrich, Huntsman and Perry to go all Zuccotti Park on Romney and take his statements out of context about key elements of capitalism is not only intellectually dishonest -- it's just plain stupid. It makes THEM look ignorant of business. The "not-Romney" position which primary voters are looking to fill is that of a strong conservative yet these guys are running to the left of Romney. They're acting like people who would punish success and who fail to understand the need for business owners to have freedom to make new choices when they see something isn't working.
Gingrich et al are pounding Romney for having the experience Obama doesn't have - the experience a president needs to be able to understand job creation in America.
Desperation has shaved several points off their IQ's.
