Ad-MITT Romney Will Fail!

Sure he will and all the "ethical capitalists" will be happy to embrace the calls for govt to further emasculate the free markets in the name of "ethics". Romney is a disaster, but calling investors who put money at risk "vultures", "looters", and "pirates" only serves the socialists who are already dismantling opportunity and replacing it with "govt oversight to protect you".

I'm surprised conservatives don't see who benefits from this line of attack.

As far as I’m concerned, the major issue with Romney right now is electability. If the vulture capitalism attack had to take place to get the media to acknowledge this weakness of Romney, then so be it. I agree that conservatives need to look at Romney’s vulnerability to Obama’s attacks in every area of weakness.

Romney hasn’t helped himself with his dumb statements about “liking to fire people” and by refusing to release his income information. Personally, I think his “creative destruction” defense of his time at Bain Capital plays into Obama’s hands.

He was not able to defend himself when Kennedy battered him with the Bain issue during Romney’s crushing senatorial defeat, so it makes sense to think he still hasn’t found a response since he hasn’t used it yet.

In short, Romney is not electable, and that is what should matter to conservative voters.
