This is isn’t Mitt Romney’s first time headed down this road. Back in 2003, he attacked the very position he’s now wrapping himself up with to defend himself. At the time, he said
“There are some, if you will, classical Republicans, and I don’t want to be political here. The classical Republican approach is to say you know what makes America so great is our great corporations. And if we just clear the decks so that corporations can be more successful and give them more money, and make it easier for them to succeed. Well, then we will do even better on the world stage. I don’t happen to subscribe to that traditional Republican caricature.”
So all you people defending Mitt Romney’s corporate activity as unassailable because by God the business of America is business and what not, remember he once made clear he didn’t much care for you guys.
The GOP has gone off the reservation. Capitalism should be defended. That does not mean everything Romney did at Bain Capital must be defended. And it sure as heck does not mean we should suddenly be okay with the President’s handling of General Motors.
