Conservatives look at the endorsements Mitt Romney has garnered from such establishment figures as former President George H.W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and most importantly from business-as-usual Washington insiders, such as lobbyist Ed Gillespie, and they see advocates of positions they often opposed, not friends of the transformational agenda that won the Tea Party wave election of 2010.

Levin had a great rant on his radio show last night about all of the anti-conservative positions that, I believe it was the Chamber of Commerce had endorsed. E.g. lax immigration policies, various government subsidies, etc. It was a good explanation of how being "pro-busines" is often at complete cross purposes to being conservative and free market-oriented. Of course he calls these people corporatists. And I think we all can see Mitt Romney would be the ULTIMATE Corporatist-in-Chief.

If we checked the record, we’d find that Mussolini operated largely in the spirit of corporatism/elitism.
