Warren Buffett Reveals His Favorite Republican In The Race
Business Insider ^ | November 14, 2011 | Joe Weisenthal

Posted on 11/14/2011 4:59:50 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Warren Buffett is on CNBC this morning...

First, he sees all the Republicans going further and further to the right to out-Republican each other during the primary. It's natural, he says, though he's not sure it's good for the Republic.

...If he had to support a Republican, it would be, not surprisingly, Mitt Romney.

Given that Buffett is a pro-business, mainstream Democrat this obviously makes sense. He doesn't mind his past as a PE cost-cutter, though he's not crazy about Bain Capital's history of drawing cash out of companies they stuff up with debt.

Warren Buffett whose father was a Republican Congressman

Claims he changed parties over GOP's treatment of Blacks

In Selma, they have a whole section to Everet Dirksen who delivered more % of GOP to pass the Civil Rights Bill.

Jim Crow laws and Davis-Bacon Law were passed by Democrats to discriminate against the rights and pay of Blacks.

I wasn’t raising my hand. I was scratching my head wondering why this was even an article. It’s like having an article stating that the ocean is wet.

Gee, he likes the other major RINO in the race. Given that Warren Buffett is the poster boy for crony capitalism, who could have possibly figured that out?

I thought it was going to be a surprise, and he would be for Huntsman. But no surprise with Buffett. I’m sure the primary voters will comply accordingly.
