What Mitt did at Bain Capital should be a warning sign that this man is ruthless and everyone should consider it to be a huge character flaw.
Mitt has no values in life as he has flip-flopped on every single one of them depending on the office he is seeking.
He has no feelings and will lay off hundreds of people to reach his goal.
Decent human beings don’t change their values nor do they make huge profits by screwing folks.
In the end, he will screw the entire county to reach his goal of being President of the United States - the most powerful person in the world.
Exactly right. Some of this is a real issue...both politically (it will come up in the general and be effective), and also as insight into the candidate. There is little secret that Mitt's machine has been involved in the savaging of Palin and other conservatives during the four years leading up to this campaign. His people have also been credited with the stealth attacks that sunk Fred Thompson last time. He is a ruthless competitor.
On the other side, the firing of people is not always wrong. Part of rebuilding a company is turnover and making fundamental changes. That is appropriate and fair. If (and I don't know), their primary track record is the 'vulture' actions of grabbing functioning business and sucking it dry for profit, that's not such a fine attribute. Bain has many great turnaround success stories that are a feather in Romney's cap. I do not begrudge his success before running for office in Massachusetts. My issues with Romney start with his campaigning and governing in the past 20 years.
He has no feelings and will lay off hundreds of people to reach his goal.
You do understand, in the actual conservative world, the goal is to have no feelings and lay off TENS OF THOUSANDS of people who work for the government to reach our goal?
Or do we not want to hurt anybody’s feelings?
