Yes. The only thing that seems clear and consistent about his political philosophy is that he really, REALLY, wants to be president.

Good thing YOU only get one vote, Joe.
Do you have anything specific to criticize from these videos or is it just that you get too distracted with the thought of his magic underwear...?

Crazy Religion
Evil Business practices

Yes, business is EVIL..you go with that...........
Perhaps you'd prefer to have a beer summit with the lecturer in chief...? BTW, has Obama ever even had a Job that didn't draw a government check...?
Did you know Mitt Romney deferred his government salary and gave it back to the people of Massachusetts? Did you know that he also recently became eligible for Medicare and he deferred that as well? Did you know the man has been consistently hard working and constantly relating to people on every level of society? Did you know he has been tremendously giving of himself to charitable endeavors his entire life, not only giving his monetary inheritance to his Church, but generously giving his personal time to comfort and assist others...? CRAZY!

Business isn't evil, but his was. His business was buying up weak companies and looting the assets...
Romney is a scumbag. He's a horrible human being. And A Mormon. but I repeat myself.
Obama, for all his faults, is a decent human being.

Great comeback, Joe... For a horrible scumbag human being, that is...
Mitt Romney's work at Bain Capital was that of a turnaround specialist... They worked hard to save failing businesses. Some businesses who sought Bain's help were beyond repair Joe, and in the real world, as a matter of practicality, losses get cut. For every weeping Ampad employer you wish to propagandize there are several whose jobs and businesses were saved with the help of Bain Capital. Mitt's leadership there was a success by all reasonable measures...

No they didn't. They used other people's money to leverage buyouts. Then they looted companies to make profit. It had nothing to do with saving them..or turning them around. Some survived and some didn't. But people working for the companies Bain touched all lost benefits or their jobs.

Bullshit. Romney was a corporate Raider, and frankly, the country is dotted with closed factories because of the likes of him.
Getting rid of good paying jobs at AmPad and replacing them with shitty minimum wage jobs at Staples isn't anything to be proud of, it's everything that's wrong with this economy, and worse, it leads to exactly the kind of government dependence you so-called conservatives are always complaining about.
If someone is working at Staples, and he has to get food stamps to feed his family, Section 8 housing to put a roof over his head, and Medicaid to get his kids in to see a doctor, he isn't going to want less government, he's going to want more of it.
Mitt's function was not to create jobs, it was to make money for his investors. This is not a winner for the GOP.
It wasn't a winner in 1994 when Ted Kennedy beat the man by 17 points once he brought out those AmPad workers.

Turning around a major newspaper publisher
A turnaround strategy replenished cash reserves and boosted earnings for a major publishing chain.
Patience proves a virtue when divesting poor performer
Bain recommended that the parent of poorly performing consumer products subsidiary wait to divest while the subsidiary worked on a turnaround. Within two years, the subsidiary showed substantial improvement and sold at a high earnings multiple.

Yes, Romney was very good for rich people.
Not so good for the working stiffs.
Again, this is a problem with an economy that is ass-backwards. The tail is wagging the dog.
The bedrock foundation of our economy is working people producing goods and services.
Investments and profits are a side-effect. But when that becomes the goal, and they way to get there is all these working folks getting less wages, less benefits, and fighting for the few scraps they throw us, that's just the path to disaster.
That's the Bourbons sitting at Versailles wondering why there's an angry mob approaching the castle.

Wow. That's good. I mean, the poor babies wouldn't be able to buy a new Polo Pony if it weren't for Mittens.

Rachel Maddow did a scathing 15 minutes last night on Romney's lying. He's lied so much you need a compilation every now and then just to recall the ones you've forgotten.
This is pretty funny. Not sure why you posted it though. I thought you were a Romney fan?

And why people think that being a cutthroat businessman will make him be a good President I just don't know. As President he can't fire Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana to leverage a buyout of California and New York.
