“2) Questions on business ethics are legitimate inquiries that one should have to answer for, especially if they’re running for public office—these are not attacks on capitalism, and it’s completely goofy that some would construe it that way. Those advocating a “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” attitude towards private enterprise activity, aren’t doing capitalism any favors.”
Thank you for being the person to finally point this out. I can’t understand why the point was lost on Rush. In response to Romney’s “I love to fire people,” Rush kept saying today, “Well, isn’t that what we want?” NO, it isn’t what we want. We want people who are well able to fire people when it’s necessary, but not people like Willard who take pleasure in it.
You are exactly right, that is what I have been thinking. It is the word “like” - and the way he used it. He could have just said something Americans want the freedom to find the best, or switch to the best, or something... but who likes to fire anybody, even when they deserve it?
