Stacy McCain offers up the new attack ad. You can demagoge about corporate fatcats until Demosthenes himself says “Dude, we get it,” and people play right along. But when you ask the question: “So what’s the government going to do that’s any better?” You won’t get an answer that makes any sense. We have an… Read More Romney Concludes That People Dislike The Government More than Bain Capital…
[Insert Mayan Calendar Joke Here] The Romney campaign doesn’t seem to know how to respond. For centuries, business leaders have been inept when writers, intellectuals and politicians attacked capitalism, and, so far, the Romney campaign is continuing that streak. One thing is for sure. As Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute has said again… Read More David Brooks Starts to Sound Like Jeff Goldstein
Via A Checquerboard of Nights and Days, The Obama Campaign complained about FactCheck’s call about whether Romney “sent jobs overseas” while he was head of Bain Capital.
