I’m a conservative and I have no problem with what you call “corporate raiding.”

Just so we're clear, you have no problem with a company that buys a distressed business, strips it down, removes the assets, lays off the employees, and walks away with a profit. You're ok with that?

I'm not. And very few people outside of the financial elite are either. I think Romney is about to find that out.

Yeah, I’m fine with it because no rational person, no one wanting to make money, would do that to a company that was able to survive and earn a profit. Capitalism works because of rational self interest, not love and puppies.
