Mitt Romney: Will Republicans Elect a Bloodsucking CEO?

I don't think that the Republican party is quite in shambles enough to fall for the shennangins of a huckster like Romney yet...

Article attacks Romney and offers little substance. I guess you could say that it offers a bit of light on venture capitalism, but only after weeding through paragraphs of non-substantive attacks on Romney.

There have got to be more substantive criticisms of Romney out there than that. If that's the worst that can be done, I'm taking another look at Romney.

After reading your posts in this thread:

this thread seems more than just a little hypocritical. I'm just sayin'.

Could someone fill me in on the more meaningful differences between a bloodsucking CEO and a politician?

EDIT: mainly observed character traits and such

Ah, ok let me guess. Politicians don't drink blood?
Are you sure?

A politician has his hands in your pockets.

attacks and little substance? Sounds a lot like Romney's candidacy. article may be fighting fire with fire

I find it odd that a liberal, who likely supports taking from the rich and giving to the poor, would refer to Romney as a bloodsucker

As opposed the other party who has mastered the art of selling what they have never owned and then delivering by stealing from those that disagree with them.

Edwards has no chance of winning, but it is funny to see the way somebody calls another based on their job.

I dont care for his actions either, but to say the democrats have fallen for Edwards when he really has no chance in winning, is over the top.

In light of the recent tax icrease proposal by Democrats, I don't see how any Republican can be considered a bloodsucker

he is in the top 3, that makes him very relevant wrt the democratic mindshare.

For the seven days ending October 28, 2007,
Hillary Clinton earns 44% of the vote.
Barack Obama is second at 20% followed by
John Edwards at 14%.

Very relevant?

in all fairness, Edwards is still doing quite well in Iowa, and early state momentum can mean a great deal, considering that not many people are paying all that much attention, even at this point.

we sometimes forget that those of us here are political junkies, for the most part. Both Obama and Edwards still have a solid chance of beating Hillary, as both are polling much better in the early primary states where the voters tend to be more engaged, and which tend to affect the outcome of later races.

That being said, Edwards has pretty much set his whole stock in Iowa, and he isn't doing as well as he should be there considering his investment.

you don't consider 14% of the vote relevant? scary you would dismiss millions of people like that. if 14% isn't relevant to you, I hope you never work on any cost cutting or improvement project paid for by my tax dollars.
