THOROUGH DEBUNKING OF THE LATEST GOP / ROMNEY / BAIN PROPAGANDA. CONCLUSION:
...In short, Conard portrays a fantasy world. We are not fighting over capitalism versus socialism. The battle is over the crony capitalism of which both he and Romney have been major beneficiaries. Well leave it to his shrink to determine whether the problem is that Conard is deluded or dishonest, but the rest of us should view this book as a serious warning about the world view of his business partner.
