Romney going on about Free Enterprise makes me want to puke (Original Post)

(5,665 posts)1. He sounds like a prerecorded message right now.

(8,021 posts)2. A total strawman.
He turns someone questioning his role at Bain with a "frontal assault on free enterprise".
His speech is typical Republican rhetoric: make everything into a choice between good and evil, apple pie and North Korea.
Then channel Ronald Reagan. End with God bless the USA.

He has to defend Bain, he simply cannot flip-flop on it and say that he got enlightened somehow. Clearly, Mittens has very little experience defending something that he cannot simply run away from.
