RE :”opponents are lining up to attack him over his time as head of Bain Capital, in case you haven’t heard. They’re going to accuse him of bankrupting companies, throwing people out of work, and generally behaving like Gordon Gekko, the amoral Michael Douglas character from the flick “Wall Street.” “Greed is good” “If he ends up looking more like an opportunist who profited for the few, instead of a man who created jobs for the many, it’s hard to imagine his poll numbers won’t drop,” write Politico’s Reid Epstein and Jim VandeHei.

Will these Democrat OWS type points (’Greed’,’Getting rich’ ) resonate with Republican primary voters or will they backfire? It seems to me that the specific points made on this sound just like what anyone can hear on MSNBC very-night. I hope the other candidates don't start bragging that they are part of the other 99%ers

Alternatively since Romney is bragging about creating jobs in the private sector any job destruction he was involved with is relevant to this debate.

Sarah Palin herself railed against the very kind of Crony Capitalism that Bain exemplified.
