He can't resist pandering to the already-convinced, even if it means coming across as a flip-flopping hypocrite from one audience to the next. Moreover, this aristocratic condescension betrays a haughty disregard for the intelligence of voters, whom he apparently perceives as blank minds ready to absorb anything he declaims. The recent dust-up over the predatory role of industrial raiders, some of whom indeed bleed troubled companies and then reward the raider-executives with an inexcusable tax break called "carried interest," has drawn a bright line between "compassionate capitalists" and "vulture capitalists." The verdict is still out on which of those two groups Romney belongs to.David Hessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709715062681399199.post-24669151511666675632012-01-12T16:51:49.843-05:002012-01-12T16:51:49.843-05:00Willard Romney will be the gift that keeps on givi...Willard Romney will be the gift that keeps on giving once he seals up the nomination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
