Romney and macroeconomics? Romneycare is stark proof that even if Romney understands macroeconomics it does not influence what he does.

With Marxists you have to look view what they have done or do over the long haul. Because most people would reject Marxism outright if they understood the only thing it bring them is a gray—or worse—world of everyone suffering equally. That is, except for the Marxist ruling elite.

As for the long term—I’m talking many decades—probably at least as soon after WWII ended. International and US Marxists got together clandestinely somewhere. They studied how they could ultimately subvert America. It would requiring coopting (one way or the other): 1. Supreme Court. They were successful, but then lost it under Bush II. However, they continue to retain control of many state judiciaries. 2. Media. They were successful. Alas, the rise of the internet has largely blunted that advantage. 3. Education. They were successful. 4. Religious leadership. They were successful. Business leadership. They were most successful with the Wall Street crowd. I give you Corzine and Bloomberg as examples. Their government policies are Marxist. Corporations have for the most part resisted the Marxist siren call. But even there we see the Marxist social justice ploy creeping into corporate decisions. GE is a case in point. We have Pepsi and some hotel chains marketing IAW people’s sexual orientation. And let’s not forgot Chrysler and GM.

To make any sense of how there is a Usurping Marxist occupying the WH, requires understanding how we got here. Too many of us watched the train coming and did nothing—including me. Traditional and Constitutional Americans simply became inured to losing one little battle after another. We kept thinking the silliness would come to a head and adults would ultimately prevail. The silliness did come to a head and the juveniles—albeit dangerous Marxists—prevailed. Voila, Onada and his angry commie regime.

"Unfortunately, like any other human institution (for example Holy Church), capitalism tends to run amuck when it is not restrained, and democracy provides inadequate means of keeping it in order. There is never any surety that democracy will throw up leaders competent to discern the true dangers of capitalism and able to remedy them in a prudent and rational manner. Thus we have vacillated between letting it run wild and trying to ruin it. Both courses are hazardous and ineffective, and it is hard to say which is more so."

--H.L. Mencken

Anyone who buys into “Marxism” is just another rube. The power and money at the top doesn’t care about Marxism. The powers that be are no more Marxists than the Gambino family. Anyone they recruit into their game by selling ideology is simply another kind of sucker. Their goal is the same as any organized crime syndicate—to fix the fight.

NOPE! If I'm still breathing (literally) I will cast my vote. Use it or lose it.

I guess the silver lining is that is a whole lot of cash that won’t be going into Obama’s re-election coffers. (it also frees him to run an anti-Wall Street campaign though)

Romney, Obama, Perry...fill in the blank. Doesn’t matter who, they will be controlled. It’s that simple.

Your logic makes sense only if the possibiity they were Marxists in the first place is ignored. Marxists are very adept at pretending they are anything but Marxists. Marxist elites have no problem getting rich. They just want to be sure they’re the only ones being enriched.

Moreover, history is replete with business getting into bed with totalitarian regimes. For example Germany and Italy in the 1930s. They hope it will prevent their ox from being gored.
